The Best of the Show: A Classic Collection of Wit and Wisdom

Sports Illustrated's humorist Bill Scheft compiles the 100 'Best of the Best' from his renowned column 'The Show,' in this compendium that is sure to delight sports fans far and wide. If sports are the dessert of life, Bill Scheft delivers the cream pie to the face. In this classic collection of athletic wit, the Sports Illustrated-® columnist and former writer for David Letterman, riffs on every aspect of the sports world, leaving no stone unturned and no overpaid superstar unscathed. With his unique ability to integrate sports into everyday life, Scheft takes on everything from politics ('Did you catch the Democratic convention? I haven't heard that many empty promises in the Fleet Center since Rick Pitino left town.') to theft ('Despite his problems with the law, Allen Iverson jerseys are still flying off the shelves. And they've even sold a couple.') to television cross-promotion('At one point I could have sworn I heard Tim McCarver say July 31 was the deadline for 'Trading Spouses.''). With brand new additions and photo captions showcasing Bill's signature humor, The Best of 'The Show' is a look at the world of sports through a truly cracked-and hilarious-lens.
