5.0 out of 5 stars Finally!!, May 8, 2007
Look no further, it's finally here. Fell in love with Gallo's writing while stumbling on ESPN. He's always a breath of fresh air in the midst of so many "knock off" sports writers. I constantly read his columns to get an insightful and hilarious view of things from his perspective. Gallo gives the reader his straight up opinions while cathcing your imagination. I could burn through this book on my lunchbreak, or an extended one, lol. It's that captivating!! You won't be disapointed.

If you're a fan of both laughter and sports, this book is a must buy. If you aren't a fan of either, then why are you even looking at this review?

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny Stuff, July 8, 2008
By Johnny Drama (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
Wow, the last reviewer, C. Irwin must be a huge Ray Lewis fan......
Anyway, this book is great. A hilarious take on sports. A must buy if you are a fan of Barbaro, or Ray Lewis, aka "God's Linebacker."

One of the best toilet-readers for a sports fan ever. Good for short trips to the bathroom, or for the longer more aromatic trips.
