Media Reviews
Everyone has an ESPN junkie on his or her shopping list, right? And there's a good chance that those statistic-obsessed, secondhand athletes think they know everything about every kind of physical competition. To which we say, give them Scott McNeely's pocket-sized but immensely detailed Ultimate Book of Sports and watch their egos crumble at the weight of unknown trivia. Unless, of course, your sporty brother's man-cave is already covered with posters of as many Mongolian wrestlers and jousters as NBA stars and Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders.
