I keep wanting to get to Bill Simmons' Big Book of Basketball but haven't pulled the trigger to buy it.

I think the last book I got to was Phil's Sacred Hoops. But that was at least three years ago.

you can knock it out in a Saturday afternoon.

Since this post is here. Let me ask you, or anyone, if they know of a good book on sports strategy or the technical details of a sport?

Back when I was younger, I could watch games and get a feel of the strategy but either because I'm not as interested in the games or my feel of sports isn't what it used to be since I don't play, my mind doesn't capture the nuances of the game. Maybe reading up on that would improve the entertainment of the game.

not sure if you're a soccer fan, but this one's a must read if you're into the game at all. utterly brilliant. a bit of a dry read but fascinating as hell if you nerd out on that type of shit.

Undisputed Truth

Not sure if you count Jim Ross's life in pro wrestling, but that too.

Currently sitting on Furious George.

I enjoyed it, but from listening to the podcast I’d heard a lot of the stories before.

Still found it a fun read though.

as a long time listener to the pod, I keep debating with myself if I'm going to even hear anything new.
