It's Only a Game
Author: Terry Bradshaw
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 0743424336
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
This is the absolutely guaranteed 100% mostly true story of Terry Bradshaw: the man who gained sports immortality as the first quarterback to win four Super Bowls -- and the man who later became America's most popular sports broadcaster. IT'S ONLY A GAME "I had a real job once," begins a memoir as honest, unexpected, and downright hysterical as Bradshaw himself. From his humble beginnings in Shreveport, Louisiana, to his success as the centerpiece of the highest-rated football studio show in television history, Terry has always understood the importance of hard work. A veritable jack-of-all-trades, he has probably held more jobs than any other football Hall of Famer ever: pipeline worker, youth minister, professional singer, actor, television and radio talk show host, and now one of the nation's most popular speakers. But let's not forget one of the reasons why so many people know and love Terry Bradshaw: he won four Super Bowls! In It's Only A Game, Terry brings the reader right into the huddle and describes the game from the bottom of a two-ton pile to the top of the sports world. You'll sit right on the fifty-yard line and watch as Terry earns the title world's greatest benchwarmer. And you'll also hear about the single greatest play in pro football -- the Immaculate Reception -- as he never saw it. It's Only A Game is much more than a collection of Terry Bradshaw's favorite and funniest stories, it is the personal account of a great man's search for life before and after football...as only Terry could tell it.

Book Description
Current Mood: Freaking out I am one of the coolest people you’ll ever meet. I love my Pinterest boards, tacos, and witty T-shirts. But perhaps the interesting thing about me is that I’m a zookeeper at one of the nation’s best zoos. A decidedly uncool thing about me is that I took an at home DNA test, hoping to find out more about my parents’ heritages, but instead found out that I have a genetic predisposition to developing cancer. While I’d like to ignore that elephant in the room, if I don’t do something soon, I’m going to miss out on my only chance to have a baby. There’s this one little thing … Up to this point, the only guy I’ve needed in my life to be hanging all over me and expecting me to take care of him is a sloth. I’m not saying that as a euphemism for a lazy, red-flag waving an, but an actual sloth named Barry. But as awesome as Barry is, he’s not really equipped to help me have a baby. Then, out of the blue, my work archnemesis, Xander Barnes, comes up with a solution to my problem. Except he’s the last person I’d ever accept any help from. But I’m running out of time, and Xander’s offer is making me wonder if a leopard can change his spots. This might be my last chance to get everything I’ve ever wanted. Plus tacos.

The UnBRCAble Women Series Box Set

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 548
Book Description
Are you ready to Be UnBRCAble? Get set to live, laugh, and love with this award-winning series, chronicling the journey of women gaining control over their genetics. Contains the complete award-winning novels: Ready for Whatever, Seize the Day, and Underneath It All. Ready for Whatever: An uplifting romantic comedy about facing your worst fears ... and finding out that everything might be okay. "Look on the bright side, Millie. At least you don't have cancer." Testing positive for the BRCA gene only means one thing: Millie Dwyer is almost certain to develop cancer at a young age. After losing her grandmother and mother to the dreaded disease, Millie's always feared a similar fate. But now the twenty-nine-year-old has technological advancements on her side, including radical surgeries, that can save her from ever having to deal with the Big C… but at quite a cost. Now Millie has to come to terms with a new normal—new breasts, missing ovaries, hot flashes, insensitive friends, and, worst of all, the knowledge that she'll never have biological children. One thing's for certain—she's never planned on trying to navigate the dating scene with all this on her plate … but on the road from loss to love, Millie finds that laughter certainly is the best medicine. Seize the Day: Current Mood: Freaking Out. Erin McAvoy is living her best life. A lover of tacos, witty T-shirts, and Pinterest, Erin is always ready to tell you about her favorite thing—the animals she tends to at one of the nation's best zoos. But then there's that other thing she doesn't like to talk about: how a supposedly-for-fun DNA test revealed that Erin has a strong genetic predisposition to breast and ovarian cancer. She'd like to conveniently ignore that elephant in the room, except for the fact that unless she does something soon, Erin will miss out on her only chance to have a baby. Up to this point, the only guy she's needed in her life was a sloth—the animal kind, not the lazy kind—named Barry. Turns out, if you want to have a baby, a sloth is not the right man for the job. Growing up in a conservative family, Erin's never even considered any other options, until now. She doesn't have a lot of time to wait, and online dating isn't for the faint heart. When co-worker Xander Barnes—foe—or friend?—or maybe even more?—comes up with a plausible solution to give her the baby she wants, Erin realizes this may be her last chance to grab the tiger by the tail. Her family may not agree with her choices, but Erin knows that if one leopard can change his spots, then she can too. And maybe, just maybe, this will be everything she's ever wanted. Underneath It All: Marg Kensington has the perfect life. No really, she does. A husband who's as detail-oriented as she is, two great kids, the house, you name it. The only thing not perfect for Marg (pronounced with a hard g, get it right), is the fact that she carries the BRCA-1 gene mutation. Marg won't let something like cancer stop her. Instead, she's being proactive and saving her life before she gets sick. A small bump in her perfect road. But that bump turns into a massive sinkhole when her breast implants are recalled, and she finds her husband has been cheating on her. Now faced with health crisis after health crisis, a failed marriage, and rebelling children, Marg can no longer keep up the facade of a perfect life. It's time, with help from a most unlikely source, to realize that facades may crumble, but it's underneath it all that really matters.
