Book excerpt: Don't let the bright lights of the Sears Tower fool you. This is Englewood, Chicago, known to most as "Chiraq," an infested gangland captured under the thumb of a vicious dictatorship. Unlike any other major city, the control of the streets doesn't lie in the conniving hands of the city's top cops or politicians. In plain view, the city is controlled by the iron fist of over two hundred thousand religiously dedicated Gangster Disciples, BDs, Vice Lords, and Black P. Stones. Only the people of high society who reside in the downtown area are barely safe. But within the surrounding districts, suicidal pawns dominate their gang territories, not using common sense but reverting to assault rifles to settle their different views and disagreements, causing the citizens of Chicago to live in constant fear. There in the midst of the gang infestation stood a young, curious, and malleable ten-year-old Englewood kid named Jimmy, better known as Jay. Once left behind by his family, feeling abandoned, Jay took to the allure of the "street life," opposed to the golden teachings and directions of his stern father. No longer exhausting his mental energy behind unanswered questions like "Why my momma leave me?" with his mind made up, along with a grudge and a chip on his shoulder, Jay, with high street ambition, set out to be King of a world that assured only one thing: all kings eventually wake up with their heads cut off! This is the unflattering true story of Jimmy Jones Jr.

His uncompromising act made him a hero to hundreds of thousands of blue collar Londoners. He became known for his catchphrase 'kin 'ell!' and established himself as an underground legend -- in the process attracting everyone from rock's royalty to real Royalty. The Rolling Stones, the Nice, the Small Faces, Iron Maiden and Status Quo were among the many stars who flocked to his gigs. The Beatles played his tapes on their tour bus. His fans included fellow comedians Dudley Moore and Chubby Brown and soap star Martine McCutcheon. In a long and successful career Jones has told jokes to Michael Jackson, entertained the Kray Twins and performed for a surprising number of Royal Family members -- Prince Charles, Prince Philip and Princess Margaret. TV bosses hated him but Jimmy's outrageous comedy made him a millionaire by his 40s. Not bad for a kid from the rough end of Essex who grew up thinking he'd become a priest.

Download or read book Swagger written by Jimmy Johnson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-09-05 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FOX NFL Sunday analyst and legendary Hall of Fame head football coach Jimmy Johnson—the first to win both a college football championship and a Super Bowl—shares his long-awaited, intimate, no-regrets memoir recounting his extraordinary life and insightful lessons on winning, at every level. Hall of Fame football coach Jimmy Johnson’s house isn’t on the way to anything. Yet, his private sanctuary on the Florida Keys’ Islamorada islands is a popular destination to which college and professional coaches, general managers, and team owners regularly trek to seek advice—how to build a positive team culture, draft elite players, balance work and family life, and lead a team to win. Why? Because Jimmy Johnson has done it all—rising through the college coaching ranks to lead the University of Miami Hurricanes to a national championship, winning two consecutive Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys, and handling public triumphs while dealing with private adversity. Now, written with veteran sports journalist Dave Hyde, Johnson shares a candid account of his life experiences that have turned him into a legend in the coaching world. From his early days on the college football fields at Louisiana Tech to his arrival as the Cowboys’ coach in 1989, Swagger traces the history of Johnson’s career, and his lifelong mission to win. His larger-than-life personality and hard-driving, tough-talking coaching style led him to become one of only six coaches in NFL history to win back-to-back Super Bowls. Swagger shows the behind-the-scenes details of his professional conflict with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and his personal revelations following his mother’s death and his son’s struggle with addiction. It reveals Johnson’s formula for winning, including his criteria for identifying talent, his core beliefs, how he replaced legendary coaches like Tom Landry and Don Shula, coached stars from a young Troy Aikman to an aging Dan Marino, and established the ever-elusive sense of “culture” that every team leader hopes to achieve. More than a highlight reel, Swagger reveals the hard-won lessons Jimmy Johnson has learned both as a man and as a coach through a lifetime dedicated to excellence.

In hopes of turning his life around, Jimmy arrives to the town of Jasper, where his uncle has gotten him a job at the town newspaper. No longer a gunfighter, Jimmy is now an editor. But his uncle welcomes Jimmy with a warning: “The only news in Jasper is bad news.” When Bill Genniver and his partner, Jerry Garlan, decide to hold up a stagecoach for some quick cash, the two outlaws quickly find themselves at odds.

But when Slade the outlaw and his band of misfits threaten to kill Finnegan and his family to steal the ranch, Finnegan calls out to Charlie Kimball for help.
