Men with Balls: The Professional Athlete's Handbook

Men With Balls is a great primer on navigating the ball-filled world of professional athletes. It goes through everything from draft day through retirement and everything in between. If you're looking at a future career of balls, then this a must-read! In all seriousness (well, seriousness is relative when it comes to this book), it's a great read. There's laughs on every page. The detail with which Magary goes over all the stupid minutiae of professional sports. I really enjoyed it.

A solid laugh from cover to cover for any sports fan. Author Drew Magary does not worry about hurting any feelings or being politically correct as a reader will soon find out. Definitely worth a read.

Under the guise of writing a handbook for professional athletes, Drew Magary has written a wickedly funny, and very truthful satire of professional athletes, and the fans who lives are obsessed with following these athletes. Mr. Magary, in a very subtle way, also asks why fans, like me, pay attention to today's professional athlete, when the highly paid, highly self-centered athlete, cares little about the fan.

If you are a fan of Magary's work on the blogs KSK and Deadspin, you will not be dissapointed in this book. The book basically reads like a bunch of blog posts strung together. This is a good thing. The best part of the book is that most sportsfans could have come up with it's basic premise, but only Big Daddy Balls could pull it off in such an entertaining, profane, and true fashion. I saw he described it as bathroom reading material. You would have to have eaten rotten Mexican food from a lawless border town for a week straight for this to be true. This book is hard to put down and two hour marathon bathrooms trips tend to put my legs to sleep. Buy the book and enjoy it in a comfy place. Such as your local opium den sprawled out on one of those enormous pillows.

Video Review? Oh Christ, I'm so tempted to paint mouths on my balls and let them do the the whole thing. Thankfully, I don't have the technology. Or the talking balls. This is the greatest book by a fat, gay man since the latter days of Truman Capote. In fact, if he had any literary chaps whatsoever this is the book Capote would have written. I laughed, I cried, I masturbated furiously while wearing store-bought panties, wait.... Seriously, buy this book. Drew's a comic genius. You'll be the envy of your friends. If you had any friends. Loser.
