First published 2004
Legendary journalist Hunter S. Thompson pulls back the curtain on the seedy underbelly of professional sports. From the press box to the locker room, he skewers the hypocrisy, greed, and madness that define modern athletics. With his signature Gonzo style, Thompson delivers a riotous, no-holds-barred expose of the athletes, coaches, and power brokers who rule the games we love. This is sports journalism at its most raw, unfiltered, and unforgettable.
