A propos de cet article

Got a sports bucket list? His parents told him he was crazy. His friends said he'd never do it. #HoldMyBeer In September 2013, Jamie Reidy set out to complete Sports Year, his Hail Mary attempt at a return to literary success while also recusing himself from self-inflicted midlife and debt crisis.

He fell shorter than a Shaq free throw. But, but for five magical months, the author was a daily spectator of the human condition, and the result - Need One - is a hilarious and heartfelt road-trip memoir. Reidy learned that while scoreboards don't allow for moral victories, life sure does.…
