An uproarious collection of the most controversial and regrettable moments in major pro and college athletics, with a sprinkling of the obscure, The Worst of Sports is a compendium of abject failure, harebrained decision-making, avarice, and rank stupidityin other words, the stuff that some athletes, and fans, are best at.
Whether you're a casual fan or a face-painting zealot, you'll find plenty to root for (or against) in The Worst of Sports.
Original and funny, this book will entertain the pessimist that lurks in all of us who don't root for the Yankees.
