The Ecstasy of Defeat: Sports Reporting at Its Finestby Editors of the Onion
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The Sports Page As You've Never Seen It Before
From painfully obvious steroid revelations to sex scandals and superstars who announce trades in over-the-top TV specials, the wide world of sports can often seem too ridiculous for words. Well, attention sports fans: In The Ecstasy of Defeat, the editors of The Onion offer the laugh-out-loud funny and long overdue lampoon of sports culture you've been waiting for. Filled with the very best of The Onion's bench-clearing sports coverage, this book includes such classics as: No topic escapes the satirical slap of America's Finest News Source, and the book covers not only mainstream sports — such as baseball, basketball, and football — but also lesser sports, sports culture, and special events like the World Cup and the Olympics. Featuring all the players, teams, and sports we love — and love to hate — The Ecstasy of Defeat is a must-read for sports nuts and Onion fans alike.
