16 Books Every Sports Lover Should Read

Playing sports — almost as fun as reading about them.



BuzzFeed


The Blind Side by Michael Lewis


The Blind Side by Michael Lewis


If you’ve seen the movie, you know that this is the story of Michael Oher's rise from homeless teen to first-round NFL draft pick, with a focus on the family that helped him. Lewis also intersperses insightful analysis of the changing nature of the game, noting the importance of the left tackle in doing the crucial work of protecting the quarterback’s blind side. The book is not nearly as much of a tearjerker as the movie is, but that makes it a tiny bit better.


Best enjoyed with: The Gatorade that rolls off the face of your teammate after the clock runs out, and you find yourself in a clutch of sweaty, happy teammates because YOU'RE GOING TO STATE.

Little Girls in Pretty Boxes by Joan Ryan


Little Girls in Pretty Boxes by Joan Ryan


Perhaps the definitive examination of the machine that produces tiny girls who achieve remarkable feats of athleticism both on the ice and on a balance beam, the San Francisco Chronicle sports writer looks at the inner workings of what it takes to make a champion in the physically trying and emotionally crippling worlds of gymnastics and figure skating. Drawing upon interviews with sports psychologists and hundreds of former gymnasts and figure skaters, Ryan paints a picture of a training practice that robs children of their childhood, and stunts development, both physically and mentally. If you find yourself in wonder every year at the 16-year-old on your television set performing feats of mental and physical wonder, then this is a must-read.


Best enjoyed with: a contraband strawberry Nesquik, over in the corner by the locker room, sipped through a straw.

Shattering the Glass: The Remarkable History of Women in Basketball by Pamela Grundy & Susan Shackleford


Shattering the Glass: The Remarkable History of Women in Basketball by Pamela Grundy & Susan Shackleford


If you’ve ever bemoaned the lack of a definitive, thoughtful and thorough analysis of the history of women’s basketball, look no further than this. A well-researched and understanding work, this book highlights the trailblazers in the sport while also highlighting their contemporaries while tackling larger issues like the impact of homophobia and the resultant tensions between the traditional roles of women versus the demands of the sport. A must-read for any fan of basketball.


Best enjoyed with: Powerade, because Gatorade is for wusses.

What The Simpsons Sound Like In Other Countries

How do you say “d’oh” in Japanese?



youtube.com


• There are two Simpsons spanish voice casts, one for Spain and one for Mexico. There are a lot of debates over which is better, with some even preferring them to the original cast.


• There are also two French casts – one for France and one for the Canadian province of Quebec. Only the French version is featured in this video, sorry about that!


• When there's a celebrity guest in Spain or Mexico, they get the actor who usually dubs that celebrity. For instance, in Spain Sideshow Bob is voiced by the same actor who dubbed Kelsey Grammer on Frasier.


• They made the monorail song rhyme in every language!


• On the German DVDs, the second half of the monorail song is in English. I checked on several German DVD players, and can not figure out why.


• Sometimes references are updated for the local audience. For instance, a joke about Newt Gingrich was updated for the French-Canadian audience to poke fun at Ontario Premiere Mike Harris instead.


• According to Matt Groening, “d'oh” is “t'oh” in France because the actor misread the line once and it stuck.


• America's had the same Simpsons cast for over 25 seasons, but there's more turnover in other countries. The Spanish and Italian Homers have both passed on and been replaced. There's also been some union issues – the entire Mexican cast was replaced after season 16.


• The Simpsons is so good that it's still funny when you don't understand the words.

Over the years, the group has liberally used samples to create tracks. Their struggle to clear samples—along with some bad early career contracts—is one of the reasons that their albums have never been on iTunes


Today's free giveaway is a way for De La Soul to bypass some of those legal copyright issues. By making the music available for just 25 hours, they're also hoping to create some buzz around the industry and get fans pumped up for a new album they're planning to release this summer.


“It’s about allowing our fans who have been looking and trying to get a hold of our music to have access to it,” group member Posdnuos said to Rolling Stone.
