In Dad is Fat, stand-up comedian Jim Gaffigan, who’s best known for his legendary riffs on Hot Pockets, bacon, manatees, and McDonald's, expresses all the joys and horrors of life with five young children - everything from cousins ("celebrities for little kids") to toddlers’ communication skills ("they always sound like they have traveled by horseback for hours to deliver important news"), to the eating habits of four-year-olds ("there is no difference between a four-year-old eating a taco and throwing a taco on the floor").

Famous three-time Grand Slam winner Arthur Ashe pointed out that many in sports fall victim to “paralysis by analysis”. Athletes on any level can experience the pain of overthinking and sabotaging their performance. Blame many traditional methods of teaching and training. How can we train smarter, not harder? If only our body and mind could perform in a way that’s more natural and instinctive. The best athletes have this quality, but many feel it is simply unattainable for them. I assure you it is not.

Before the league’s founding, East Coast basketball had crowned just three national champions in 40 years, and none since 1954. But in the Big East’s first 10 years, five of its teams played for a national championship. The league didn’t merely inherit good teams; it created them. But how did this unlikely group of schools come to dominate college basketball so quickly and completely?

Answering those questions is the formidable task taken on here by veteran sportswriter Jack Cavanaugh.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 96
The NFL has come a long way from its founding in Canton, Ohio, in 1920. In the 100 years since that fateful day, football has become America’s most popular and lucrative professional sport. The former scrappy upstart league that struggled to stay afloat has survived a host of challenges to produce American icons like Vince Lombardi, Joe Montana, and Tom Brady. It is an extraordinary and entertaining history that could be told only by Joe Horrigan, former executive director of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and perhaps the greatest living historian of the NFL.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 265
The National Football League's current dominance has obscured how professional football got its start. In The League, John Eisenberg reveals that Art Rooney, George Halas, Tim Mara, George Preston Marshall, and Bert Bell took an immense risk by investing in the professional game. At that time, the sport barely registered on the national scene. The five owners succeeded only because at critical junctures in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, each sacrificed the short-term success of his team for the longer-term good of the League.

The Bronx Is Burning meets Chuck Klosterman in this wild pop-culture history of baseball's most colorful and controversial decade. The Major Leagues witnessed more dramatic stories and changes in the 70s than in any other era. The American popular culture and counterculture collided head-on with the national pastime, rocking the once-conservative sport to its very foundations. For the millions of fans who grew up during this time, Big Hair and Plastic Grass serves up a delicious trip down memory lane.

No one can touch Bart Starr's record setting 5 NFL Championships including 3 straight. America's Quarterback tells the story of the man who helped create the legend of Vince Lombardi and the Green Bay Packers. This biography traces Starr’s life from childhood in Alabama to stardom in Green Bay and beyond.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 49
Long before their first Super Bowl victory in 2003, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers did something no NFL team had ever done before and that none will ever likely do again: They lost 26 games in a row. It started in 1976, in their first season as an expansion team, and it lasted until the penultimate game of the 1977 season, when they defeated Archie Manning and the New Orleans Saints on the road. It was the beginning of a new streak for a team that had come to be called "The Yucks".

Drawing from Moskowitz's original research, as well as studies from fellow economists such as bestselling author Richard Thaler, the authors look at: the influence home-field advantage has on the outcomes of games in all sports and why it exists; the surprising truth about the universally accepted axiom that defense wins championships; the subtle biases that umpires exhibit in calling balls and strikes in key situations; the unintended consequences of referees' tendencies in every sport to "swallow the whistle," and more.

Interesting and fun Sports trivia facts
Fun for group trivia parties. I even knew several of the trivia questions about tennis. I enjoyed listening to the questions and trying to guess the answers. I am recommending it to anyone that likes trivia or sports.

I got schooled
Was looking for something fun to do with the wife after the kids were off to bed...this was it! Has tons of great trivia questions, and is set up like a fun game with a timer between questions! I got schooled on many of the questions by my hockey-fan wife, but even if you're a casual sports fan, don't hesitate to pick this one up! Well-researched and well-written, the author clearly knows his stuff! This one won't disappoint!

Super Fun Trivia Audiobook
As a sports nut, I loved this audiobook! There were a few obviously trivia questions (that I already knew) but a TON of them I’d never heard of…so this book was both entertaining and educational. The narration was great too. I look forward to hearing Vol 1 and any additional volumes this author publishes.

What an experience!
I'm ashamed to say I did HORRIBLE with these trivia questions. I answered maybe a dozen correctly. However, I learned a lot and had some good laughs in the process. I can't wait to listen to this with my dad, uncles, and a few other friends and family members to see how good they do. I'm sure they'll do better than I did. Definitely a challenge but absolutely worth it!

This ones for the trivia junkies!
Are you the person your friends call the "boundless book of useless knowledge?" Do you bust out all that knowledge while entertaining guests or at a party? If so, then this book is for you. It's filled with amazing facts and trivia to make even the biggest non-sports person sit up and pay attention.
