Chris R. Weilert is back with a hat trick in his third collection of sports essays, Deep Thoughts from a Recliner Quarterback, Volume 3. We all know every fan's favorite sport is arguing about sports, and this collection is guaranteed to have you nodding in agreement right before you drop the gloves. These essays take you on a ride across wide-ranging topics like: • Artificiality in sports: Astroturf or grass? Robot or human umpires? • Little-understood sports, like fencing, and barely known sports, like ultramarathons. • Athletes both obscure and underrated. • Names as big as the Dallas Cowboys and Wilt Chamberlain. • Motorcycles on ice. Yes, really. Delivered with the devotion of a true sports fan, the commitment to research of a man who never met a Wikipedia rabbit hole he didn't run down, and the wit of a true critic of culture, these seventy-six essays by Weilert will show you a side of sports you didn't know existed and never would have thought to ask for. Weilert's signature approach combines sly humor, sharp wit, and genuine appreciation for the human side of sports, making it accessible to readers of all ages. Each volume blends insightful commentary with humor and nostalgia.
