Great post Eddie - thanks for that. What I knew about Thorpe was pretty much Wikipedia level and then I read Home and Away and Thorpe wound up being a figure because he coached Portsmouth right before their NFL entry. I mentioned to Jeff that I found it odd that he would just quit the job right before the tie breaking "title game" and Jeff mentioned that it's documented that he was always suspicious of people trying to get more out of him. I'm guessing this book doesn't touch on his time in Portsmouth though since its a really insignificant time at the tail end of his football days.
