Sinopsis

Quick quiz: What’s the difference between a penalty and a foul?

Depends on the sport. That’s kind of the problem.

Sports are everywhere—on TV, in conversation, at the office—and half the time you’re nodding along pretending you understand what just happened. Offside? Traveling? Infield fly rule?

This book covers the rules, strategy, and culture behind the sports that matter most: football, basketball, baseball, soccer, hockey, tennis, and more. It explains what the ref just called, why the coach made that decision, and what everyone around you is yelling about.

Whether you want to follow the game, talk sports at work, or just stop pretending you know what a first down is, this book has you covered.
