Just finished reading God Save the Fan, and I have to recommend it to any sports fan. It's a hilarious read that sheds light on a lot of issues and really just tells it how it is, in a way perfectly designed for the average fan. Great read, and any diehard sports fan owes it to themselves to read it.
humm, looks interesting. I think I will pick it up.
Thanks!
:)
One of those books I keep meaning to grab, and keep forgetting while I'm in the store.
Just wondering...why?Quote:

Yep, the book is chock-full of humor. It mentions stats rarely...like in the chapter regarding fantasy sports...but, it has no statistical analysis at all. It's not that type of book.Quote:
