          <body><![CDATA[As usual, I enjoyed Klosterman's book.  However, this book of essays doesn't quite stack up to his first two in continuity of excellence.  There a number of really great essays, but a few are not all that exciting (at least to me, others may find them more interesting).  That said, the Ralph Sampson...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/79657514">more...</a>]]></body>

This seems to be well researched and is interesting in the way that nearly all great entrepreneurial tales are interesting.

On top of that, Fatsis does a great job of showing what life is life inside an NFL training camp and also does a great job of talking about the life of NFL kickers and punters. ]]></body>
