Believe It
How did the man who was on the verge of retiring just two seasons earlier stay optimistic and rally the Philadelphia Eagles to an astounding Super Bowl win?

The Heritage
Following in the footsteps of Robeson, Ali, Robinson and others, today’s Black athletes re-engage with social issues and the meaning of American patriotism Named a best book of 2018 by Library Journal It used to be that politics and sports were as separate from one another as church and state. The ballfield was an escape from the world’s worst problems, top athletes were treated like heroes, and cheering for the home team was as easy and innocent as hot dogs and beer. “No news on the sports page” was a governing principle in newsrooms. That was then. Today, sports arenas have been transformed into staging grounds for American patriotism and the hero worship of law enforcement. Teams ...
The Box
Emma grew up in Indiana feeling like the ugly duckling of the family—the third daughter of a high school beauty queen and football star who had two older daughters with perfect teeth, flawless complexions, and gorgeous hair. She felt left out. Then one day she met Clark Oden, who made her feel special. But she pushed him away and with her cousin, Kalie, drove away in a Datsun with a “California or bust” sign. At eighteen years old, she was going on her first adult adventure, but she kept thinking of Clark. When she found out he was engaged, she wondered how he could love someone else if he had loved her. Then she realized the answer: because she’d ended it. Against all odds, Clark and Emma got back together after seeing each other at a funeral, with Clark calling off his engagement. But about a year after their reunion, Emma could not shake the feeling that something was missing, and once again, she broke it off. Over the years, however, she thought of Clark often, but it wasn’t until nine years later that she heard from him again, just before he went off to war as a married man.
Bias in the Booth
Most of us see sports as a welcome—even blessed—relief from the challenges and frustrations of everyday life. We want to sit back, open a beer, and enjoy the game. But many of those who bring us the game have a different agenda—they use their broadcasting platform to harangue us with their own politically correct preoccupations. If a seventh-round NFL draft pick who can't make the team or an over-the-hill basketball player declares that he's gay, he gets wall-to-wall media coverage and is hailed as a hero. If a stripper accuses college lacrosse players of rape, liberal sports reporters lead the lynch mob—with no apologies when the bearers of "white privilege" are proved innocent. In his blistering new book Bias in the Booth, sports reporter and commentator Dylan Gwinn takes you inside the sports media spin machine to reveal what they hope you won't notice: the sports media are no different from the news and entertainment media.
