Can I Keep My Jersey: Book Review

                                                                                           

Jim's Review

Paul Shirly defines journeyman in this adventure for the love of basketball!

10 out of 10 stars

About book

ABOUT

He’s been called a journeyman. Even Paul wouldn’t dispute that classification. Regardless, Bill Simmons, ESPN’s “The Sports Guy,” has said of Paul Shirley, “We could finally have an answer to the question ‘What would it be like if one of our friends was an NBA player?”

There’s no denying that Paul Shirley is the closest thing pro basketball’s got to Odysseus. In Homeric fashion, he has logged time practically everywhere in the roundball universe, from six NBA cities to pro leagues in Spain and Greece to North America’s pro ball Siberia, the minor leagues. Hell, he’s even played in the real Siberia. And in Can I Keep My Jersey?, Shirley finally puts down roots long enough to deliver one of the great locker-room chronicles of the modern age.

With sharp elbows and an even sharper wit, Shirley–whose writings have been described as “wildly entertaining” by The Wall Street Journal–drops hilarious commentary, revealing which teams have the best cheerleaders (he’s spent many a time-out watching them ply their trade), why Christ is rapidly becoming every team’s “sixth man,” and even the best ways to get bloodstains out of your game uniform, using only an ordinary bar of soap and a hotel bathroom sink.

From sharing the court with Kobe and Shaq to perusing the food court at some mall in a bush-league burg; from taking pregame layups to getting laid out by a stray knee from an NBA power forward; from hopping a limo to the team’s charter jet to dashing to catch the van home from a B-league game in Tijuana, Shirley dishes on what it’s like to try to make it as a professional athlete. Can I Keep My Jersey? is a rollicking, thoughtful, even thought-provoking insider’s look at a pro baller’s life on the fringe. Like Jim Bouton’s Ball Four or John Feinstein’s A Season on the Brink, Shirley’s odyssey deserves to find a home on every sports fan’s bookshelf. Learn more and buy book

Scream (2022): Movie Review

                                                                       

Jim's Review

Ghostface is back in Woodsboro, California and new cast of characters are all targets.

Dewey (David Arquette) has been asked to assist in finding the killer. It says about "The killer is in the poster" 

If you are fan of the series then you will enjoy it tremendously with a lot of more gore and bloody scenes hence the R rating.

Sidney Prescot (Neve Campbell) and Gale Weather (Courtney Cox) are pulled into the drama as to finder the Ghostface and ending the killing.

Being 2022 there is lots of technology involvement and throwbacks to the original series with cool and very cryptic cameos by one of the stars (not saying anymore!)

By the time you reach the climatic third act all will be revealed and explained in over the top and glory action will have you wondering  if some of the lines were meant for a zombie movie instead for Scream

Film is dedicated to the king of horror Wes Craven (passed away in 2015)
