Made into a hilarious and timeless film starring Burt Reynolds,
Kris Kristofferson, and Jill Clayburgh, and recently named number
seven on Sports Illustrated's Top 100 Sports Books of All Time,
Semi-Tough is Dan Jenkins's masterpiece and considered by many to
be the funniest sports book ever written. The novel follows the
outsize adventures of Billy Clyde Puckett, star halfback for the
New York Giants, whose team has come to Los Angeles for an epic
duel with the despised "dog-ass" Jets in the Super Bowl. But Billy
Clyde is faced with a dual challenge: not only must he try to run
over a bunch of malevolencies incarnate, but he has also been
commissioned by a New York book publisher to keep a journal of the
events leading up to, including, and following the game. Infused
with Dan Jenkins's characteristic joie de vivre and replete with
cigarettes, whiskey, and wild women, Semi-Tough is an uproarious
romp through a lost era of professional sports that will have any
armchair quarterback falling out of his or her recliner in
hysterics on a semi-regular basis.
