Book Details

Table of Contents

I wasn't out cold, but I was out
A brief and wildly subjective history of football
A deep and true joy penetrated my being
You knock my brains out this Sunday and I knock your brains out the next time we meet
This eager violence of the heart
"Get money!" on three
The love song of Richie Incognito
The blind spot
Their sons grow suicidally beautiful
All games aspire to a condition of war
Bill Simmons draws the line
Stop being a fan, start being a player.
