Product Description:
Massive goalies, midget batters, and Mike Tyson...
Todd Gallagher faced them all to answer your questions
Every sports fan knows that the debates can be almost as interesting as the games themselves (unless you’re a Tampa Bay Devil Rays fan, in which case they're much more interesting). But some debates can never be settled no matter how much you run up your bar tab arguing with your friends.
Well, it’s time to answer your questions once and for all:
• Could an average guy start in the WNBA?
• Would sumo wrestlers make great NFL linemen?
• How easy is it for pro athletes to get laid?
• How good are pro golfers at miniature golf?
• Do pro athletes really play drunk or high?
• How would a fan hit against a major league pitcher?
To settle more than thirty of sports’ greatest (and most ridiculous) debates, Todd Gallagher has teamed up with coaches, general managers, and athletes—including LeBron James, Mike Tyson, Dwyane Wade, Johan Santana, Eddie George, Jose Canseco, and many others.
But Gallagher didn’t just ask questions. He put these debates to the test—literally. He sent an all-midget lineup up against a pro baseball team. He swam freestyle against a doggie-paddling Olympic gold medalist. He recruited America's #1 darts player to test that uncanny accuracy in beer pong. And, yes, he stuck a frying pan in tennis star Andy Roddick’s hands and went to battle.
The results are hilarious and enlightening. Best of all, once you have the answers you’ll be able to shut up the next loudmouth who tries to debate you at the bar.

Like most books of this type, the editor intentionally puts the better stuff at the front and back of the book, because those are the likely places to make the most impact. Often people will start a book, like it after a short while, and recommend it to their friends. Often people will read the first few pages to decide whether to buy it at the book store.
This book has several hillarious and interesting entries in the first 25% or so, and lots of boring drivel after that, till the ... Read More

Nice piece of work from Mr. Gallagher. NOT a book for kids (R-rated language, situations). Best section is on Mr. Roddick, but entire book is worth a read.

Um, so I thought he was going to answer these questions definitively? Not so much. The questions ended up being not terribly interesting (other than the title of the book) and he never really answered much. Everything was left up in the air. the author rambled like it was a column in ESPN the Magazine. Lame!

The author is very qualified and has done a lot of research on the subjects, he did not just state his opinion. I highly recommend it.

Admittedly, I bought this for my fiance thinking he would get a kick out of the sports trivia... but I found myself actually reading it! The questions the author answers and the way in which he does it made even a non-sports fan enjoy it.
