The Best Of The Show by Bill Scheft
Sports. It's what drives millions of people to work hard, play hard - and laugh even harder. In this classic collection of athletics-inspired wit, with his unique ability to integrate sports into everyday life, Scheft will take on: * Theft: 'Despite his problems with the law, Allen Iverson jerseys are still flying off the shelves. And they've even sold a couple.' * The Boston Red Sox: 'Just wondering. Do you think for Daylight Savings, Grady Little will set his clocks back four batters?' * Politics: 'Did you catch the Democratic convention? I haven't heard that many empty promises in the Fleet Center since Rick Pitino left town.' * Television Cross-promotion: 'At one point I could have sworn I heard Tim McCarver say July 31 was the deadline for Trading Spouses.' With brand new additions and outtakes showcasing Bill's signature humour, THE BEST OF 'THE SHOW' is a look at the world of sports through a truly cracked - and hilarious - lens.
'The Untelling is the story of deep hurt and slow realization, injury and recovery, and the way people genuinely change their livesI love it' Dorothy Allison, author of Cavedweller 'Tayari Jones is a remarkable novelist, able to face down the tragedies of life with the clarity and beauty and even the dark humor of a true artist. And she has unerring storytelling instincts. The Untelling is a wonderful book and Tayari Jones is a flat-out brilliant writer' - Robert Olen Butler, Pulitzer Prize-winning author
