Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: In Rainbows Comment: In Rainbows Like a sea breeze cooling the landscape after a hot day. Peace and Beauty. Pure Serenity. Drew Mamula is our Guide. Customer Rating: 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. :). More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: This will be the very last book you ever read. Because after you have read this book, you, Good Sir, will know how to be a pro athlete. And pro athletes don't need books. Or strong family bonds. Or any of that stupid crap. Not when they have ready access to millions of dollars and scores of smoking hot chicks with questionable judgment. This book will be all you require to cast aside your boring life as some jackass who cruises around bookstores hoping to score grad-school trim. With Men with Balls, you will learn how to: Showboat using classical pantomime techniques Figure out whether or not a stripper actually fancies you Emotionally cope from the emotional fallout of rookie year hazing games Find out which free locker room amphetamines will give you a shot of energy, and which will cause you to run down terrified schoolchildren with your Escalade (NOTE: Some do both) Avoid media scrutiny by directing beat writers and columnists to the nearest hot buffet So grab your balls, bookboy. You're about to become a home-run hitting, steroid-injecting, angry-orgy-having Turbostud. They're gonna need a whole ocean just to wash your jock.
