Encyclopedia of Sports Idiocy

Humorist and Boston sports writer William Russo puts together this collection of funny essays about idiocy in professional sports. Collected from years of observation, the compendium of dumb sports acts and dumber sports stars contains some of Russo's favorite targets, including Kris Humphries, Rex Ryan and David Ortiz. Added to the mix this time are new entries like Manti Te'o. If you have followed the most whimsical and cruel barbs in books like RED SOX 2012: BOBBY VALENTINE'S SEASON IN HELL and RAJON RONDO: SUPERSTAR, you know what to expect. William Russo taught sports literature and film studies for many years at a college near Boston before selling out to write Hollywood tabloid gossip.
