Episode: Hour 1 - Many Jump Men, Only One Jump Man

It was mentioned as a book that provided more in-depth information than the documentary of the same name, particularly about the New England Patriots' 20-year run.

Books go deeper. Read them. Documentaries have limited space.

Read the book by Jeff Benedict, The Dynasty.

The dynasty, Jeff Benedict goes much deeper on a variety of topics.

I know, I know, you're not supposed to say you like the book better than the movie, but sometimes like the firm, it's true.

Episode: Hour 3 - The Dynasty

It was described as going deeper than the accompanying HBO documentary, particularly in regards to the power dynamics between Bill Belichick and Tom Brady, as well as the role of Robert Kraft.

It goes so much deeper than documentary and documentary is going to do The Aaron Hernandez Story, The Malcolm Butler Story.

Obviously in a book you have a lot more real estate, you can cover a lot more ground. You can go into things more in depth and in a documentary you have to make harder choices and people sometimes are critical of those choices.

It's much deeper in the book I implore you to go by the book which is still selling uh...

fascinating stuff really really interesting book and the documentary I don't push people to other platforms but apple tv I thought that a tremendous job

by the book it's really interesting you know these these I I don't have a time to dive in to one of these four to five day books during the football season so out of the football season I read as much as I can

In an hour, the director of Dynasty, the Jeff Benedict booked on a Patriots that's being made in a series on Apple TV. I really enjoy it. I thought episode four was just terrific TV.

Episode: Best of The Herd

It was described as Robert Kraft's version of events of the Patriots dynasty, and copies were reportedly sent to season ticket holders.

there's been a couple books that have been written on the patriot dynasty the dynasty by jeff benedic was considered crafts version of events in fact if you go back like the patriots actually sent copies of that book out to their season ticket holders what does that tell you about what ownership thinks of that version of the story that's what the apple tv thing is based on

Episode: Hour 2 - Russell Wilson Blind Resume

It was discussed as being Craft's version of events surrounding the Patriots dynasty, and was even distributed to season ticket holders.

In fact, if you go back like the Patriots actually sent copies of that book out to their seasoned ticket holders, what does that tell you about what ownership thinks of that version of story?

And so I think, you know, it's interesting because you watch some of it and it seems that there's a fair bit of score settling going on here and a fair bit of territory marking going on here.

And I, my perception watching Bill here is I think Bill views this as a craft production.

Episode: Hour 1 - The Nuggets might repeat

It was described as a fantastic look back at the New England Patriots dynasty, similar to 'The Last Dance' documentary about Michael Jordan and the Bulls. The book was recommended for purchase and reading.

It's called Dynasty. It's on Apple TV and it's a look back. Jeff Benedict wrote the book. It's fantastic. I would recommend you go buy the book and read it. It's based on that.

Episode: Hour 2 - Where Colin was right & wrong

The Dynasty documentary was discussed, with Peter King providing insight. It portrayed Bill Belichick as somewhat defiant and defensive, while also highlighting the personalities of other Patriots.

I've been watching the documentary, Dynasty, Jeff Benedict's great book, terrific reporting.

Bella check comes off as a little defiant, a little defensive. Ernie Adams is incredibly likable. Even Robert Kraft is a billionaire. He comes across as a guy that loves his patriots.

Episode: Colin Cowherd Podcast - “Dynasty”, NFL Salary Cap...

It was described as one of the best sports documentaries ever seen, focusing on the New England Patriots' dynasty and including the arrival of Randy Moss and the Spygate scandal.

Episode four, John, I don't know if you saw it, is one of the best episodes of a documentary, sports documentary I've ever seen in my life.

The Randy Moss arrival. The spy gate losing to the Giants in the Super Bowl.

Robert Kraft's son said he walked into the locker room and grown men were vomiting and balling.

The footage they have is great. It's just remarkable.

The book's great as well by Jeff.

Episode: Hour 1 - Warriors dynasty is coming to an end

It was described as a fantastic read, a great alternative to watching the Apple TV+ series of the same name, covering the New England Patriots' rise to prominence.
