Book Overview
This will be the very last book you ever read. Because after you have read this book, you, Good Sir, will know how to be a pro athlete. And pro athletes don't need books. Or strong family bonds. Or any of that stupid crap. Not when they have ready access to millions of dollars and scores of smoking hot chicks with questionable judgment. This book will be all you require to cast aside your boring life as some jackass who cruises around bookstores hoping to score grad-school trim. With Men with Balls , you will learn how to: Showboat using classical pantomime techniques Figure out whether or not a stripper actually fancies you Emotionally cope from the emotional fallout of rookie year hazing games Find out which free locker room amphetamines will give you a shot of energy, and which will cause you to run down terrified schoolchildren with your Escalade (NOTE: Some do both) Avoid media scrutiny by directing beat writers and columnists to the nearest hot buffet So grab your balls, bookboy. You're about to become a home-run hitting, steroid-injecting, angry-orgy-having Turbostud. They're gonna need a whole ocean just to wash your jock.

Balls Up!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
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 Good Laugh for the Sports Fan

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.
Crude, Rude and Wonderful
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
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.
This book went balls deep.

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.
There Will Be Balls
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
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.
