Summary: What was that
Comment: Not a bad book, entertaining at times. You will feel little to nothing when you're done, but I feel it was intended that way. If you have nothing else to do, give it a shot.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Crude, Rude and Wonderful
Comment: Under the guise of writing a handbook for professional athletes, Drew Magary has written a wickedly funny, and very truthful satire of professional athletes, and the fans who lives are obsessed with following these athletes. Mr. Magary, in a very subtle way, also asks why fans, like me, pay attention to today's professional athlete, when the highly paid, highly self-centered athlete, cares little about the fan.
Customer Rating:
Summary: This book went balls deep.
Comment: If you are a fan of Magary's work on the blogs KSK and Deadspin, you will not be dissapointed in this book. The book basically reads like a bunch of blog posts strung together. This is a good thing. The best part of the book is that most sportsfans could have come up with it's basic premise, but only Big Daddy Balls could pull it off in such an entertaining, profane, and true fashion. I saw he described it as bathroom reading material. You would have to have eaten rotten Mexican food from a lawless border town for a week straight for this to be true. This book is hard to put down and two hour marathon bathrooms trips tend to put my legs to sleep. Buy the book and enjoy it in a comfy place. Such as your local opium den sprawled out on one of those enormous pillows.

Comment: In Rainbows
Like a sea breeze cooling the landscape after a hot day.
Peace and Beauty.
Pure Serenity.

Summary: Awesome!
Comment: Buy this book and then set aside a couple hours to read through. You will need to take a few breaks to bust out laughing.
Each and every chapter has a bunch of hilarious lines about the rewards and challenges of being an athlete.
Although my hometown (Green Bay) doesn't fare well (sad thing is I can't refute any of the author's comments), I would highly recommend this book to any sports fan!
p.s. This book made me want to buy the author a gift certificate for a tapas restaurant. :).
