"HERE'S THE "BOO" OF THE WEEK!"
When a ball hits a foul pole, it's a fair ball. Then why doesn't baseball call it a fair pole? Proof that baseball is harder to play than golf: Major league baseball players often spend their days off golfing. But when's the last time you heard of a golfer spending his free time playing baseball? Why do NFL teams still use the prevent defense? Don't they know that the only thing the prevent defense prevents is their WINNING THE FOOTBALL GAME? "IF YOU HAD THE CLIPPERS AND 37 POINTS--YOU LOST!"
From what goes on behind the camera to what happens on the playing field, Warner Wolf knows what sports is all about--having fun. And in an arena filled with out-of-control media hype, LET'S GO TO THE VIDEOTAPE replays the lighter side of the sports world. So don't put off reading this book, because, as the late, great NFL coach George Allen used to say, and Warner wholeheartedly agrees...
