Book Description
If you're a Minnesota Vikings fan, chances are you know the true meaning of a love/hate relationship. Keith Richotte, lifelong fan and observer of his favorite team, has written an account of many of the major crushing defeats and blunders in the history of the Vikings--the ones maddeningly ingrained in the collective consciousness of Minnesota pro football fans. There are so many of these ugly moments, in fact, that Richotte was able to find a reason to hate every team in professional football for what that team has done to the Vikings as a franchise and to him as a fan. This book chronicles many, many incidences that have dictated the Monday morning moods of people across the land of 10,000 lakes for decades. Either we're a cheery lot saying hi to strangers, or a bunch of gray-faced commuters driving around in a foggy slump. It's not enough to turn away and not notice what's going on. It's an addiction. We can't help ourselves.

Languages : en
Pages : 195
Book Description
My story is about a senior in high school, named Kennedy Taylor who has to move across the United States halfway through her last year of school due to her dads job making him relocate. She had a rough time for the first few weeks, fitting in with a new set of people than what she is used to, different from her friends way back home. A few mean girls, especially Adriana who were jealous of her, made life miserable until she meets a guy named Kevin, a guy who is nice on the eyes and everyones favorite athlete. Emotional and physical pain overruns though. Adriana also happens to be Kevins ex girlfriend. Adriana has the ability to turn Kennedys life into a nightmare. Will Kevin be her night and shining armor? Will he be the guy he promises to be to her for the rest of high school, or college? What about for the rest of their lives? I am very passionate about the bullying subject; no one has the right to do so, whether its young as elementary school kids, or as old as people in college. Kennedy goes through some of the everyday pressures you have to go through during your adolescent life. She has her virginity, and her beliefs about abstinence, until she feels like she doesnt want to keep her promise to herself. She lacks the confidence she needs to make some of her dreams come true until a modeling agency likes and accepts her for her, which turns her life around forever. I do believe as the Golden Rule says, Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Just like Kennedy always believed What goes around comes around.

Half the Man I Used to Be
Author: Brian Ray Gross
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1491732172
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 195
Book Description
All humans have weaknesses. Even mythical warriors and superheroes have a weakness. For author Brian Ray Gross, that weakness is food. This creates an interesting paradox: food is intended to strengthen, nourish, and sustainbut when we consume too much, we become weakened by it. In this weakness, we cannot be the people God intends for us to be. In Half the Man I Used to Be, Gross shares his story about food, weight, and his weight loss journey. He tells how it all came to head in October of 2012, when he found out that he was diabetic and that his liver was failing. He was at his weakest point, and he had a choice to make: he could continue to let the weakness dictate the rest of his life, or he could seek the strength to overcome. He chose the latter, and the kind of strength he needed could only come from God. This memoir discusses Grosss lifestyle changes and his weight loss success. His story serves to communicate there is hope for all who face the same challenges. Its not too late to regain the life you desire. You have a creator who made you in his image, and he wants the best for you. You can do this, and when you do, youll be glad you did.

State of Play
Author: Bill Ripken
Publisher: Diversion Books
ISBN: 1635766605
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
Advanced statistics and new terminology have taken hold of baseball today, but do they accurately reflect the reality of the game? A baseball lifer states his case. America’s favorite pastime is enduring an assault of new thoughts and ideas. In recent years, the sabermetrics and analytics craze has infiltrated Major League Baseball—from its front offices to dugouts to clubhouses to media covering both, inciting a baseball culture war. New phrases like “launch angle,” “spin rate,” and “pitch framing” have entered the vocabulary, often with little real meaning when it comes to how the game is actually played on the field. No more. In State of Play, twelve-year Major League veteran, Emmy Award–winning MLB Network analyst, and bestselling author Bill Ripken breaks down these modern statistical methods to explain which ones make sense in the game’s historical context, bringing them together with proven old-school strategies. He simplifies those sabermetric terms hastily added to the baseball lexicon without being fully realized, taking new-school confusion out of old-school baseball’s tried-and-true common sense. In the end, he unites the teachings of each school to show fans of both how to listen to and understand the game as it’s played today and how it should be played moving forward. From a true baseball lifer and member of baseball’s first family, State of Play offers a fascinating insider’s look at how to reconcile years of historical tradition with the rules and trends of the new millennium. As Ripken sees it: the game inside the game cannot be measured by a spreadsheet—but it can be measured by a qualified, crusty baseball man. Play ball.
