Description
Each card features a unique sporting, gaming and idling quotation - from David Mamet on Poker to Ernest Hemingway on what it is to be a loser. I have never taken any exercise, EXCEPT sleeping and resting, and I never intend to take any. - Mark Twain. The reason why women don't play football is because eleven of them would NEVER wear the same outfit in public! - Phyllis Diller. It is unbecoming for a CARDINAL to ski badly.' - Pope John Paul II

Precisely what it says: a miscellany regarding sports and gaming. What it lacks in organization, it does make up for in entertainment value. More of a browsing book than a book you read in order from cover to cover; that way, you discover nuggets you missed before.
