I have been looking for more sports books to read lately. When I saw this one I thought I knew what I was in for but man was I wrong. I was wrong in a good way though.

This book was funny but also interesting and a good read. I learned a lot about Stugotz who I had never heard of before reading this book but now I might check out his podcast. I learned a lot about different sports in the book as well.

When I first started this book I was not sure what I was getting into and if I would like it or not. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it in the end.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for this complementary ARC in exchange for my honest review!

Honestly, as a Canadian who does not have easy access to ESPN, I was unfamiliar with the author and his unique feelings about sports. With that - I think I may not understand his schtick in a way that those more familiar with him might.

The topics were very surface level and at times it felt like the argument were just for the sake of argument - no idea why comparing Babe Ruth with Mike Trout might be a little off. I appreciated the context and details provided in each section - the chapters were quick and to the point. I also enjoyed the rebuttals from the author's friends/

It's a good read if you like controversial sports opinions but you might not agree with most of them!
