1.Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, and WhyDeep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
There are clearly two ways to approach this book - one for the great stories, the other for the mindset of the people in the stories.
Personally, I found the conversation about how our minds work to be the most compelling . The idea of a plan as a "memory of the future" is a line that sticks... more info

Customer Review:
The book begins at a Denver Bronco mini-camp in May, 2006. Stefan Fatsis has been practicing with the team as a kicker and is trying to find his place on the team. Al Wilson, the middle linebacker, calls on Fatsis to dance in front of the team because, as he is later told, "you know you are a... more info

3.[no image]Friday Night Lights: A Town, a Team, and a Dream
from Demco Media

Customer Review:
This is my pick for the best sports book ever written, and the reason is because it transcends sports. It captures the mood and feel of small town America as well as any book since Larry McMurtry's The LAST PICTURE SHOW. What Bissinger describes about the so-called pinnacle of life in western Texas,... more info

4.Bloody Confused!: A Clueless American Sportswriter Seeks Solace in English SoccerBloody Confused!: A Clueless American Sportswriter Seeks Solace in English Soccer
from Broadway
Price: $11.16

Customer Review:
Culpepper's aim in this text is to convince people who don't know anything about the world of international soccer that it's a great product, and worthy of an American's time. The problem is, unfortunately, that he skips from "soccer know-nothing" to the worst kind of American soccer fan--the... more info

from Simon & Schuster
Price: $10.40

Customer Review:
Harvey Penick's Little Red Book: Lessons and Teachings from a Lifetime in Golf first came to my attention in the comic strip Judge Parker. After that, I looked it up at Amazon.com and decided to order copies for my two sons who enjoy golf. They were pleasantly surprised when Amazon delivered a copy... more info

8.AMONG THE THUGSAMONG THE THUGS
from MANDARIN

Customer Review:
This is a fantastic book, and what's more, it has served as a model and inspiration for the many (many, many) football hooligan books that followed.
I won't really comment on the absolute cliched tripe served up by one reviewer who gave this book one star, but I would point out that he might... more info

from Willow Creek Press
Price: $13.26

Customer Review:
Gordon MacQuarrie passed away more than 50 years ago, but his stories are as fresh and relevant today as when they were penned more than half a century ago. People will still be reading and enjoying these stories a hundred years from now. This book contains a collection of 19 of MacQuarrie's best... more info

from Crown
Price: $9.98

Customer Review:
I get it, Kenny Mayne is the new cerebral host on ESPN. Well, now that Olberman and Kilborn have left and Dan Patrick is doing who knows what. That may work on a one hour program that most of us either watch at 2:00 in the morning or have on as background noise when we are getting ready for work. It... more info
