Book Description
REVIEWERS ARE SAYING: "Think 'The Hangover' mixed with 'Old School' and drenched in wing sauce. Ride shotgun with a group of friends trying to get to a Buffalo Bills game and join in all the crazy shenanigans along the way!" "Laugh-out-loud funny and outrageously clever! Tucker Max type of escapades wrapped up in a plot with more twists-and-turns than a pole dancer." "[Fellow] ladies, this is a must-read if you want a glimpse inside the minds of men. Enlightening, jaw-dropping, and hilarious!" "Holy mother is it funny... but it's not without a lot of heart; the type of heart you can only find in places like Buffalo, NY... in the dead of winter... after four Super Bowl losses in a row." OVERVIEW: Robert's "summer romance" with Jennifer was interrupted when his college buddy, Zabka, returned to Buffalo for a visit. The police report described their reunion antics as, "two knuckleheads on a beyond insane bender." Since then, Jennifer's leash around Robert's neck kept getting shorter and shorter. Now it's mid-December, and Zabka is planning an even bigger road trip back to frigid Buffalo. He envisions a weekend overflowing with beer and girls that, in his words, "climaxes" with the Bills squishing the Dolphins to clinch the division's playoff spot. However, if Jennifer discovers his plans, there's no telling what she'll do. Will drunken chaos spin out of control again? What unexpected trouble is flying up from Miami? When relationships, friendships, and rivalries collide, can anything survive? And where did the midget strippers come from?! Nothing can prepare this incompatible cast of characters for this wild winter weekend.

The Pats
Author: Glenn Stout
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
ISBN: 1328915158
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 834
Book Description
An account that tackles “the Pats’ wilderness years to the current dynasty . . . with fresh insight, bite, and humor from an All-Pro roster of writers” (John U. Bacon, New York Times bestselling author of Overtime). The New England Patriots have become a dynasty, though it didn’t begin that way. Love ’em, hate ’em, the Pats have captured this country’s attention like no other franchise. From two award-winning authors this is the first complete story of a legendary team and its five championship trophies. In the tradition of their celebrated illustrated histories of some of sports’ most iconic franchises, Stout and Johnson tell the history in full and in colorful detail. This is a lavishly illustrated tale full of larger-than-life characters—from founding owner Billy Sullivan, early stars like Syracuse running back Jim Nance and beloved wide receiver turned broadcaster Gino Cappeletti, to Hall of Famers and stars like John Hannah, Russ Francis, and Steve Grogan through to present-day stars like Tom Brady and Bill Belichick and owner Bob Kraft. Featuring essays by Richard Johnson, Upton Bell, Leigh Montville, Howard Bryant, Ron Borges, Lesley Visser and more, The Pats is a must-have gift for fans, old and new, and an indelible portrait of the most talked about team in NFL history. “Glenn Stout and Richard Johnson . . . whisk us back in time to old ballparks, long-ago games and the personalities who made Boston a dynamic sports town. What Stout and Johnson did for baseball with Red Sox Century they now do for football with The Pats.”—Steve Buckley, Boston Herald “The book every Patriots fan has been waiting for.”—Bob Ryan, Boston Globe columnist emeritus and ESPN commentator

From Darkness to Dynasty
Author: Jerry Thornton
Publisher: Triumph Books
ISBN: 164125565X
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
Long before the Patriots took the 21st century by storm and became the most dominant team in NFL history, pro football was something entirely different in New England, something comically atrocious and riddled with heartbreak. Before those juggernaut years of Bill Belichick, Tom Brady, and sold-out crowds at Gillette Stadium came a hapless franchise that managed only a single playoff victory in a quarter century and spent its entire first decade of existence just trying to establish a permanent home field (and even when they did, none of the toilets worked). In From Darkness to Dynasty, bestselling author Jerry Thornton irreverently chronicles those easily glossed-over, downtrodden decades--years when the team claimed more headlines for lawsuits, arrests, power struggles, drug problems, and inept, bizarre, behavior from players, coaches, and owners than for anything they accomplished on the field. Relive the behind-the-scenes dysfunction, the turmoil of prolonged irrelevance, and the improbable way the Patriots finally ascended to greatness. By turns hilarious and eye-opening, this is an essential history for fans and disparagers alike, and a pointed reminder that the best stories of triumph start with humble beginnings.
