Book excerpt: “I'm not sure what possessed me to do it. Maybe it was the impossible expectations I faced, maybe it was my own self-loathing. But I just knew I needed something different to happen. I needed someone...something...to derail me from my current path. Otherwise, I would become lost...a hollowed out shell of a man. So I did it. I approached her, then I pursued her, then I made her mine. And my life was saved...” Ryan Burnham is the privileged son of a U.S. Congressman and captain of his university’s hockey team. While he is on the verge of fulfilling his dreams to play in the NHL, his parents want him on a different course. One he is expected to accept for the sake of his family’s public image. Forced to abandon her music career after the heart breaking death of her parents, Danny Cross exists on the opposite side of the tracks from Ryan. She is struggling to make her own way, working two jobs, attending college part time and volunteering in a homeless shelter. She is on a mission to build her own success. With a chance meeting, their vastly different worlds collide, causing each to evaluate whether they are truly on the correct path to self-fulfillment and happiness. Can their relationship survive? Particularly when others are against them every step of the way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soccer is the world's favorite pastime, a passion for billions around the globe. In the United States, however, the sport is a distant also-ran behind football, baseball, basketball, and hockey. Why is America an exception? And why, despite America's leading role in popular culture, does most of the world ignore American sports in return? Offside is the first book to explain these peculiarities, taking us on a thoughtful and engaging tour of America's sports culture and connecting it with other fundamental American exceptionalisms. In so doing, it offers a comparative analysis of sports cultures in the industrial societies of North America and Europe. The authors argue that when sports culture developed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, nativism and nationalism were shaping a distinctly American self-image that clashed with the non-American sport of soccer. Baseball and football crowded out the game. Then poor leadership, among other factors, prevented soccer from competing with basketball and hockey as they grew. By the 1920s, the United States was contentedly isolated from what was fast becoming an international obsession. The book compares soccer's American history to that of the major sports that did catch on. It covers recent developments, including the hoopla surrounding the 1994 soccer World Cup in America, the creation of yet another professional soccer league, and American women's global preeminence in the sport. It concludes by considering the impact of soccer's growing popularity as a recreation, and what the future of sports culture in the country might say about U.S. exceptionalism in general.

Download or read book Offsides written by Rene A. Henry and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2001-07-06 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Should owners and coaches allow players who perform on the field to abuse women, drugs and alcohol off the field? Where are the role models in professional football today? Why do officials miss calls? What calls do they miss most? Is instant replay the answer? Are the TV announcers always right? Why should the public pay to build stadiums for profit-minded owners? Are the NFL officials as experienced as they should be? Fred Wyant, who spent 19 of his 27 years as an official in the National Football League as a referee, answers these and other questions in Offsides! Author Rene A. Henry interviewed Mike Ditka, Don Shula, Sam Huff, Lou Holtz, Peter Ueberroth, Johnny Unitas, Bart Starr, the late Tom Landry, Chuck Noll, Marv Levy, Kellen Winslow, owners Michael Brown and Dan Rooney and referees Jim Tunney and Red Cashion, and many other players, coaches and officials. Their comments reinforce what Wyant has to say. Wyant also was the only referee in the NFL to also play quarterback in the league. The cover photograph of Vince Lombardi screaming at Wyant was taken by Wally McNamee and was picked as the "Best of the Year" by the White House News Press Photographers Association. The book is filled with humorous anecdotes and also details the responsibility of each of the seven officials and how each member of the crew is challenged with more than 1,500 decisions in a game. It also is G-rated with no profanity.

Book excerpt: He's the beast, and she's the beauty of his past. After twelve years in the league, all Zach Murphy wants is a Championship ring. His focus has been on hard hits–not smooth manners; about breaking quarterbacks–not making small talk at cocktail parties. After dumping a tray of drinks on the team owner’s daughter and accidentally feeling up the governor’s wife, his tenure with his team looks perilously short. Kelsie Carrington-Richmond knows what it's like to fall from grace. A onetime beauty pageant star and former high-school mean girl, she's now destitute and one step from living out of her car. With few real job skills, she focuses on starting her new business, Charm School for Real Men. She's thrilled to land her first clients, the Seattle Steelheads, who have hired her to polish their roughest player. Except…it’s Zach. The same guy whose broken heart she left in her wake when she was still a mean girl. He’s just the beast she remembers—but she’s nothing like the beauty queen she once was. Can they get beyond their pasts? Or will they both find themselves offsides?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I never saw him coming. My life goals include working with athletes—not dating them. Even though all my friends seem to be hooking up with Wildcats players these days, that wasn’t in the cards for me. Then I met Finn McCabe. The big D-lineman is a padded-up ad for sin—surprisingly sweet, scary-smart, a little awkward, and far too hot for my own good. Too bad he has questionable taste in women . . . With the game on the line . . . Timing that first step for a free shot at the quarterback is always my focus. The trick is not to jump too soon and be called for offsides. Unfortunately, I forgot the rules when it comes to hooking up with the perfect girl. Everything with Chessly Clarke is moving exactly on time until a certain group of jersey chasers shows up and flags the play. Timing is everything. The moment I look into Chessly’s dark blue eyes, I’m a goner. Then I jumped offsides. Playing football for a national championship-caliber team, I know the rewards for hard work, and Chess is worth everything I’m willing to do for a second chance. She’s a little nerdy, a lot sexy, and she ties me up in knots. She thinks she knows the score, but I’m focused on winning her heart. Game Time.
