À propos de ce produit
Product Information
The adjectives associated with the University of Washington's 2000 football season--mystical, magical, miraculous--changed when Ken Armstrong and Nick Perry's four-part exposé of the 2000 Huskies hit the newspaper stands: "explosive . . . chilling" ( Sports Illustrated ), "blistering" ( Baltimore Sun ), "shocking . . . appalling" ( Tacoma News Tribune ), "astounding" (ESPN), "jaw-dropping" ( Orlando Sentinel ). Now, in Scoreboard, Baby , Armstrong and Perry go behind the scenes of the Huskies' Cinderella story to reveal a timeless morality tale about the price of obsession, the creep of fanaticism, and the ways in which a community can lose even when its team wins. The authors unearth the true story from firsthand interviews and thousands of pages of documents: the forensic report on a bloody fingerpr∫ the notes of a detective investigating allegations of rape; confidential memoranda of prosecutors; and the criminal records of the dozen-plus players arrested that year with scant mention in the newspapers and minimal consequences in the courts. The statement of a judge, sentencing one player to thirty days in jail, says it all: "to be served after football season."

Reviews
"Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, some of America''s top universities still perpetuate the myth of the "student-athlete." Armstrong and Perry sound the death knell of that hoary fable by exposing the win-at-all-costs deprivation that thrived at UW under golden-boy coach Rick Neuheisel."-Kirkus, "The most harrowing book I have ever read about college sports."-Buzz Bissinger, author of Friday Night Lights, "While the focus is specifically on the University of Washington program, this story carries importance and relevance to fans far beyond Seattle.
