Ugh, this is too much of a dude book. But I laughed a lot.

To employ an over-used phrase "It is what it is" -- but what it is is a fun, breezy, exploration of various fun sports scenarios -- can an obese goalie stop every shot, can anyone pick a quarter of the backboard, and, in what is really a tremendous set piece, can Andy Roddick win beat an amateur at tennis while playing with a frying pan instead of a racket. Recommended.

Worth it if only for the respective chapters on gender, touching the top of the backboard, Andy Roddick's frying pan, and midgets in baseball. I definitely recommend this book.
