Best Boston Sports Humor 2013

Not always flattering to sports figures but always whimsical, these portraits of the human folly in the public arena are incisive and may touch a nerve with fans. So, what started out as a journey in the lowest circles of hell started to rise from the ashes. Boston sports teams of 2013 turned out to be a surprise and delight, drawing strength from the Boston Marathon tragedy and horror.With wit and literary allusion, Russo examines personalities and issues directly into the center of American sports myth. When sports in America become the focal point of Russo's cruel digs, the American obsession with sport begins to resemble Norse and Viking war tales told around a campfire. Humorist and Boston sports fan William Russo puts together this collection of funny, nasty, and irreverent essays about Boston's sports stars. Equally incorrect to all sports and athletes, Russo's barbs are divided out like threadbare clothes for the emperors of sports celebrity.
