Tiger, Meet My Sister...

And Other Things I Probably Shouldn’t Have Said

By: Rick Reilly

Narrated by: Barry Abrams

In this hilariously funny essay collection, former ESPN columnist Rick Reilly com­piles the best of his sports columns - essays that include his expert opinion on athlete tattoos, NFL cheerleaders, and even running with the bulls in Pamplona.

Rick Reilly has no compunction telling listeners, in his quick-witted style, how he really feels about some of the most popular sports figures of our time. Wondering about quarterback Jay Cutler? "Cutler is the kind of guy you just want to pick up and throw into a swimming pool, which is exactly what Peyton Manning and two linemen did one year at the Pro Bowl." Or how about Tiger Woods? "Sometimes you wonder where Tiger Woods gets his public-relations advice. Gary Busey?"

But for every brazen takedown, Reilly has written a heartwarming story of the power of sports to heal the wounded and lift the downtrodden: the young Ravens fan with cancer who called the plays for a few victorious games in 2012, or the onetime top NFL recruit who was finally exonerated after serving five years for a crime he didn't commit. Whether he makes you laugh, cry, or just gets under your skin, Rick Reilly is sure to offer a unique and hilarious perspective on your favorite golf players, football teams, MVPs, and more.

Barry Abrams is ... not good

Annoying voice by the narrator spoiled any enjoyment. But Rick's words are funny as usual.

Couldn’t finish it…

I really enjoy most of Rick’s other books…But this was just a random collection stories that have nothing to do with golf…Kind of misleading by mentioning Tiger‘s name and having his photo on the cover. As others have mentioned… The narrator completely loses all of Rick’s wit and humor…I couldn’t get past the first few chapters.

I love Reilly's golf books, but...

This is just a random assortment of his magazine columns, which I should've noticed when I picked it up. I listened to about a dozen of them, and there's a weird preachy/judgmental Karen vibe in most of them. Couldn't get through it.

Great Story - Don’t like the narrator

I love Rick Reilly but he honestly should narrate all of his books. He is witty and the narrators horrible delivery took away from that.
