- Uncle John’s Sports Shorts lets you relive the sporting world’s most incredible moments! From ancient stick-and-ball games to the physics of football, it’s all in here: great finishes, embarrassing losses, inside secrets, bizarre pastimes, and disastrous "Dumb Jocks” quotes--including this bewildering gem from the NFL’s Erik Ainge about Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez: "He’s stupid while being stupid. You have to be smart while being stupid, and he’s dumb while being dumb. ” Don’t even try to comprehend that, just read about what else you’ll find in Sports Shorts: -Bowling for humans -Reasons you should never mix hipsters, kickball, and alcohol -The hidden power of Olympic swimming champion Mark Spitz’s mustache -The origins of surfing, instant replay, ESPN, March Madness, cricket, stock car racing, and more -How the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders changed the way America watches sports -The biggest conspiracy theories in pro sports, the most shocking uses and abuses of the Stanley Cup, and the most hellish holes in golf -Baseball records that will never be broken -When soccer moms go ballistic And much, much more!
