Son of Bum

- Wade Phillips is the man pundits call "the real MVP" of the 2016 Superbowl-winning Denver Broncos. He's the Defensive Coordinator, and is considered the best in the league. - Wade's cowriter is Vic Carucci, the author of multiple New York Times bestselling football books and a longtime sports journalist. - Vic and Wade have a decades long friendship, so Vic knows Wade inside and out and can deliver a story in Wade's voice. - Phillips is popular and active on Twitter. He's got 113K followers and is known for being funny and quirky on social media-which stands out in a league that takes itself very seriously. - In Stores in time for Father's Day. We are releasing the book in early April for a May 2 pub date-perfect for Father's Day displays. - Steeped in football, but also a family oriented, heartwarming story: this memoir is not just sharing Bum's positive influence on Wade, but also Wade's son Wes, who is the tight end coach for the Washington Redskins. - Lots of Photos!! The Phillips' family is sharing from their archive a trove of images. There will be black and white, original photos throughout the book and an 8 page color insert.
