"100 Yards of Glory" by Bob Costas and others

As I was driving into town for my rec league volleyball game (which we won, even though we had to play with only four -- and yes, I'm so sore I can hardly move today) I heard an NPR interview with Bob Costas about his new book that just released November 8.  Fascinating stuff and timely too.  (Note to NPR:  I'd like to throw a illegal formation flag on your title -- the title of your piece should match matched the title of the book.  of/to)

Grammatical technicalities aside, I'm wondering if maybe Steph and I need to stop what we're doing and read this first...  HA!  No.  We just need to keep writing, of course.  (We're somewhere between 14 and 20 pages.)

However, if you're looking for a Christmas present for your favorite football fan, this just might be your ticket.  I will be so bold as to suggest that you buy it from Better World Books HERE.  If you don't know about Better World Books, you should.  Here's what they say about themselves (and they're former Domers too!):
