The first volume, The Proud Highway was published in 1997, and contains letters from 1955 to 1967. Fear and Loathing in America was published in 2000 and contains letters dating from 1968 to 1976. A third volume, titled The Mutineer: Rants, Ravings, and Missives from the Mountaintop 1977-2005 was edited by Douglas Brinkley and published by Simon & Schuster in 2005.

Problem: Coming off their win over the Giants the Eagles flew to Soldier Field for an NFC duel with the Bears. The Eagles had the early advantage with kicker David Akers nailing a 45-yard field goal. It soon disappeared after QB Jay Cutler completed a 10 and a 20-yard TD pass to wide receivers Earl Bennett and Johnny Knox respectively. The Eagles tried to cut the lead with QB Michael Vick getting an 8-yard TD pass to WR Jeremy Maclin, followed by Akers hitting a 36-yard field goal. But they fell further behind as Cutler got a 6 and a 9-yard TD pass to Bennett and Greg Olsen. This was followed by kicker Robbie Gould making a 23-yard field goal. The Eagles tried to narrow the lead as Akers got a 22 and a 36-yard field goal, followed by Vick throwing a 30-yard TD pass to TE Brent Celek, but the Bears' defense prevented any more scoring chances.

Problem: Staying at home, the Texans (still searching for their first win of the year) played a Week 4 intraconference match-up against the Miami Dolphins. After a scoreless first quarter, Houston trailed early, as Miami kicker Olindo Mare got a 52-yard field goal. Fortunately, the Texans would get a field goal of their own, with kicker Kris Brown getting a 32-yard field goal before halftime. In the third quarter, Houston fell behind, as Mare kicked a 29-yard field goal for Miami. In the fourth quarter, the Texans rallied against the Dolphins, as QB David Carr took the ball into the endzone from one yard out, then completed a 3-yard TD pass to WR Andre Johnson later in the quarter. Mario Williams recorded his first career sack and added a half sack one play later. Afterwards, Houston would have to hold off a late rally by Miami. Mare kicked a 22-yard field goal, and later got a touchdown, as QB Daunte Culpepper threw a 16-yard strike to WR Chris Chambers. Fortunately, the Texans prevented a two-point conversion when Mario Williams tipped the pass and held on to pick up their first win of the year.

Problem: Coming off their home win over the Falcons, the Rams flew to Paul Brown Stadium for a Week 14 interconference duel with the Cincinnati Bengals. With QB Marc Bulger out with a concussion and veteran back-up QB Gus Frerotte out with a shoulder injury, rookie QB Brock Berlin got his first NFL start. In the first quarter, St. Louis trailed early as Bengals RB Rudi Johnson got a 1-yard TD run for the only score of the period. In the second quarter, the Rams continued to trail as kicker Shayne Graham gave Cincinnati a 27-yard field goal for the only score of the period. In the third quarter, St. Louis got on the board as CB Fakhir Brown returned an interception 36yards for a touchdown, yet the Bengals responded with Graham kicking a 38-yard and a 32-yard field goal. In the fourth quarter, the Rams tried to come back as kicker Jeff Wilkins managed to get a 50-yard field goal. However, Cincinnati sealed the win with Graham nailing a 46-yard field goal. This would also be the 5th time this year that the Rams were held to 10 or fewer points. On a positive note, WR Torry Holt went over 1,000 receiving yards for the eighth-straight year.
