Abstract: Praise for James Duthies The Day I (Almost) Killed Two Gretzkys: I was lucky to survive the day Duthie played in my golf tournament. Little did I know hed turn the experience into one of the best books on sports that Ive read in a long time. Wayne Gretzky Tragedy is easy. Comedy is hard. Sports comedy is even harder, but James Duthie, who we now know is as comfortable in front of a keyboard as he is a camera, treads whimsically through a sports landscape that certainly needs a smile. His is a biting wit, guaranteed to leave teeth marks. Michael Farber, Sports Illustrated If you like James Duthie on TSN, youre in for a treat. Hes just as clever and witty in print. James is simply a great storyteller whose creative style will make you smile over and over. Dave Naylor, The Globe and Mail The Quiz sucks but Duthies book is fantastic. He is one warped writer, but genius. John Tortorella, New York Rangers coach Duthie writes the way I played: With an edge, but never forgetting the game is supposed to be fun. This book is a ton of fun. Jeremy Roenick, former NHL star This guy does it all-he writes as well as he does television. That same somewhat aberrant sense of humour leaps off the pages. Sports fans will love this book! Brian Burke, Toronto Maple Leafs GM I dont have kids nor can I legally admit to owning a monkey, but I do love hockey and Duthie manages to make them all work together. He effortlessly modernizes sports writing while respectfully tipping his hat to the old school. George Stroumboulopoulos, Hockey Fan and Host of CBCs George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight So whats this book about Well ... This book is about hockey. And golf. And the Olympic Games. And being a broadcaster, a sports fan, a father, husband, and son. And having an unhealthy fascination with Anna Kournikova. Its a collection of things that marched through James Duthies head over the years and spilled out into his weekly columns, selected, collected, and randomized for your reading pleasure. Its also educational! Youll learn about: -Sidney Crosbys secrets -Where you rank on The Jeter Meter of male success -Why hockeys loser point has to go -The best four-legged athlete ever -What the clichs that come out of athletes mouths really mean -What its like to be upstaged by a monkey -And yes, how Duthie almost killed two Gretzkys on the same day.
