Product Description

Here at last is a book for women who love professional sports that is at once smart and saucy, deep and dishy. It’s not a book for women who want to impress their husbands or boyfriends. It’s not a book that gets all worked up over Title IX or Mia Hamm or the virtues of the WNBA. And it’s not a book with a pink cover.

In short, the joy and passion of following pro sports is too often eclipsed by an emphasis on factoids and statistics, and here, finally, is the antidote. GameFace: The Kick-Ass Guide for Women Who Love Pro Sports by Erica Boeke and Chris De Benedetti captures the action and drama of pro sports -- both on the field and off -- from scandals to tailgating and from thugs to heroes.

GameFace is also packed with never-seen-before lists and tips including:

*How to get into the pit at a NASCAR race

*Sports Wives & Girlfriends Hall of Fame & Shame

*Best & Worst Performances of The Star Spangled Banner

*Best Ballpark Eats

*Best Sports Movies & TV Shows

*Athletes & Teams That Give Us Hope

GameFace will inspire female fans everywhere to regale stat-spewing guys at water coolers and sports bars with mesmerizing tales of thrilling victories, agonizing defeats, and the magical (and sometimes hilarious) moments that only pro sports can deliver.

5 out of 5 stars Witty, entertaining and chock full of information!   October 8, 2008
I loved this book. As the only girl in a family of men, I am as familiar with the starting line up for the Mets as I am with the latest styles on the runway. Full of the kind of information I am interested in, this guide is accessible and funny and would make a great gift for the sports fan in every girl!


5 out of 5 stars Awsome guide for Men and Women   September 10, 2008
I bought this book for my wife, but I enjoyed reading it as much as she did. It was intriguing to hear the voice of female sports fans speak on how and why they love the game, and how that their passion is different yet at the same time similar to my own.

I can't imagine a better book to get you into the head of a female sports fan (especially important for single guys). If I was the marketing director for any professional sports franchise I would make this required reading for my entire staff.

The icing on the cake is that the writing is superb and very humorous; I had a smile on my face and a giggle in my belly the whole time I was reading it. I highly recommend it as an excellent gift for women who watch pro sports (or for men that watch women that watch pro sports).



5 out of 5 stars Funny and Smart!   September 9, 2008
Finally! A book that is TRULY for women who love sports. The book is intelligent, funny and informative. I'm recommending GameFace to all of my female (and even some male) sports fan friends!


5 out of 5 stars laugh out loud funny   September 4, 2008
This book is funny, smart and extremely entertaining. I loved every little bit and highly recommend! Erica Boeke makes me proud to be a woman who loves sports!


5 out of 5 stars Laugh Out Loud Good!!!   September 4, 2008
A great read, laughed out loud! Great stories you had forgotten about, and many more that you didn't even know about! It was the perfect mix of facts, and gossip....my favorite!
