Tell it like it is
Let's face it, this book is not great literature, it's a list.Of sports cliches.And, if you're amused by all things sports, as I am, you'll like this book.It arranges them by sport and other topics (business, money, parts of the body) and I got a chuckle out of it.I admit I'd never heard some of them before, but most of them feel "like home."My young son enjoyed it as he wasn't familiar with a lot of the cliches and we spent an afternoon going thru the book together.

Above the Rim
Just as the sports cliche "they came in well prepared" goes, I'm gonna be ready for any lull in the game.My friends and me can use the book to see how many basketball cliches have been used already in the game.

Great book
My husband and I really enjoyed reading through this book.As hockey fans, we especially enjoyed that section.We've been missing the NHL season and it was great to get back in the game again.I would highly recommend this book for any other NHL fans out there experiencing withdrawl symtoms!

Touchdown!
"Heading into next week's showdown" I just bought copies for prizes for my superbowl party - I know it will be a "slam dunk."

A fun book for sports fans
I bought this book as a gift for a friend who is a "sports nut".He loved it.He said it took him back to his youth when he first became aware of how common cliches were.He sat down with his wife and had fun explaining what many of the cliches meant and his recollections about where they came from.I will remember this book and purchase it again for other sports fans I know. ...

Funny stuff
Having been a fan of the website for a while, I bought this book with pretty high expectations. While good, a lot of it seems to be repeats of the same articles from the website. Excellent bathroom reading.

Great read.Funny all the way through!
Great book even for Europeans who know far from all there is to know on US Sports

View from the Upper Deck
One of the best toilet-readers for a sports fan ever. Good for short trips to the bathroom, or for the longer more aromatic trips.

A hilarious read. Very affordable too for a lot of material.

If you have a wise-a#$, witty, sarcastic, smart-a%# sense of humor AND you're a sports fan, then I'm betting you'll love this book.

Hilarious
This book is great.It will make you laugh from the first page to the last.
