"YOU CALL IT SPORTS, BUT I SAY IT'S A JUNGLE OUT THERE!"

"YOU CALL IT SPORTS, BUT I SAY IT'S A JUNGLE OUT THERE!"

For the last quarter century, Dan Jenkins has been fixing his cold-eyed stare and wisecracking style on the real-life Billy Clyde and Kenny Lee Pucketts of the sports world.

You Call It Sports, But I Say Itâ€™s a Jungle Out There is a collection of his best work from Sports Illustrated, Playboy, Golf Digest, and his nationally syndicated column, and includes a stack of new pieces written especially for this book.

Jenkins spares no one in his search for the culprits who have taken the fun out of sports: NFL owners and refs, PGA Tour administrators, basketball players who canâ€™t read, tennis players who canâ€™t speak English (or say anything worth hearing when they do).

He also finds things worth celebrating: the electric charge given off by Arnold Palmer at his best, the excitement of a truly great college football game, or a real heavyweight champion, like Joe Louis.

Overflowing with good olâ€™ boys, great one-liners, famous sporting events, and barroom tales, this is the best of Dan Jenkinsâ€”which is to say, itâ€™s as good as sportswriting gets anywhere.
