"Dave Zirin is the best young sportswriter in America."-Robert Lipsyte This much-anticipated sequel to *What's My Name, Fool?* by acclaimed commentator Dave Zirin breaks new ground in sports writing, looking at the controversies and trends now shaping sports in the United States-and abroad. Features chapters such as "Barry Bonds is Gonna Git Your Mama: The Last Word on Steroids," "Pro Basketball and the Two Souls of Hip-Hop," "An Icon's Redemption: The Great Roberto Clemente," and "Beisbol: How the Major Leagues Eat Their Young." Zirin's commentary is always insightful, never predictable. **Dave Zirin** is the author of the widely acclaimed book *What's My Name, Fool?* (Haymarket Books) and writes the weekly column "Edge of Sports" (edgeofsports.com). He writes a regular column for *The Nation* and *Slam* magazine and has appeared as a sports commentator on ESPN TV and radio, CBNC, WNBC, *Democracy Now!,* Air America, *Radio Nation,* and Pacifica. **Chuck D** redefined rap music and hip-hop culture as leader and co-founder of the legendary rap group Public Enemy. Spike Lee calls him "one of the most politically and socially conscious artists of any generation." He co-hosts a weekly radio show on Air America.
