    that's funny tiga, I bought the same book last night at BAM in Bossier (a sidetrip from Chuck E. Cheese) for $27.90...man, I didn't realize paper had gotten so expensive. Started it last night and read some more at lunch today...I'm up to Chapter 4. A nice introspective so far and yeah not much game action but gives some good insight to some things that most of us don't have privelege of being a part and also some things we are probably a little familiar with too. I like it a lot.

    You are such a nice dad...I have a whole new respect for you! Let her know DSW has these new cool Coach clogs! She'll know!! :grin:

    I'm reading it too and was amazed by this as well.....my husband asked me how the book was the other night and I actually said the guy needed to, "suck it up...get over it... and MOVE ON already!!" Guess thats why I'm not a shrink!! But its a really good read! I too, would be willin' to pass it on to anyone who wants it...just let me know as well.

    Another one I got recently is God Save the Fan....not sure if its new,says ESPN blackballed it...the 1st chapter was hysterical about Michael Vick and his alias "Ron Mexico" at a VD clinic...basically all the things the sports world doesn't want you to know and why...I was laughing out loud in the carpool line...

    I was given the book for Christmas and read every word. I found it to be a very sad and depressing story. IMO, the story (account) left a lot of questions unanswered. OTOH, the book made me more thankful for the relationships in my life. I will never read it again.

    I am further along in the book now than when I last posted and this is the exact feeling I get from it too.

    Don't, cause I beat the chit out of her the other 6 days of this past week- belts, "Switches", whatever I could get my hands on- she's lucky I missed with the dam brick. :hihi:

    <--- Bets Tiga had the SI Swimsuit edition hidden inside the cover of the book while his daughter et al shopped. :grin:

    Nah, I never cared for pictures and/or strip clubs, I'm more of a hands-on type. :wink:

    Its a great book! I finished in about 3 days, and it cost about 25$ I think. Im letting my friend who is now playing college ball read it next. I could relate so much to the book when I just compared it to my high school career. When you play football, it really is a part of your life and is more then just a game.
