Just so ya know you’ve asked for it

WHO’S YOUR TOP 3 FAVORITE BOXERS

MAY WE SEE THE WOMEN’S CIRCUIT AND WHOSE DESIGN ARE YOU MOST PROUD DOF FROM THAT

And finally who would be trusted to watch your kid to watch your children most to least with both men and women circs (hypothetically)

(Giving an anon emoji sign off bc why not statue of litterby )

-🗽

ALRIGHT BUCKLE UP ANON AND THE REST thisll b a long one

king hippo (Duh)

von kaiser

hmmmm thats a tough one uhhhh probably either bear hugger, disco kid, aran ryan or soda popinksi !! but id i had to pick, rn itd b (joe biden voice) SODA !!!!

and now for the womens circuit !!!!

Ok so... starting with the challenger, Cassidy Cornfield !

hailing from farley, iowa, shes a little off her rocker. She believes she was put on earth by aliens to box. Though, this is likely just smth she made up as a result of a vivid dream she had when chowing down one too many corn nobs! Speaking of corn, she WILL talk your ear off about all the supposed ‘’proof’’ she has of alien existence, like the crop circles that show up frequently around her hometown. That being said, she IS determined to prove herself for her alien overlords, so prepare for a challenge!

She's modeled after glass corn, which looks like this (thanks to charlie for that idea !!):

Other details include...

her full name is Cassidy C. Campbell (she won't tell what the C stands for)

she's of irish/cherokee descent

they are a tiny straw weight standing at 5'2 feet and weighing 90 lbs, and an adult little mac trains her !!

Speaking of little mac, unlike him, she had to wait a year to get her boxing license for her 18th birthday. She simply doesn't look old for her age😔 Poor girl still gets handed the childrens menu at restaurants as well!

Her gimmick is that when charged with enough punching power, she can unleash a painful series of punches known as the ‘’Glass corn combo’’. think hondo rush, except like the star punch, it cant be countered, only avoided.

Next up, Beauty Bling !!!

All bling and no brawn !

I've posted her bio before, so i'll keep it brief; basically shes macho man's fame monger younger sister, and unfortunately for her, shes all bling and no brawn! Despite herself though, she's no quitter! She once pulled many all nighters trying to figure out computer science, and now it's one of her biggest hobbies !

other little factoids about her are...

her full name is Brittany Anita Jones

Cis woman, she/her

shes mixed white/native hawaiian (i hc macho to be white/native hawaiian as well).

She's modeled after 00s/y2k fashion

talks like a valley girl

talks on her phone during intermissions. will either b calling her dad or her friends.

Gimmick: Similarly to glass joe, she has poor defense and rarely attacks. Her special attack is her stepping back, moving a hand through her hair, and saying ''Ready to be punched in style?'' and releasing a very easily avoidable uppercut.

Will also say ''rude!'' when you avoid her punch

Next... Axelerator !!!!

The Mighty Mechanic!

This Welsh wrestling-watching mechanic from Cardiff packs a meaner punch than his predecessor ! Too bad this motor mouth gets so excited he can’t resist calling out his attacks every time he throws a punch ! But hey, gotta put on a good show, just like those cool wrestlers on tv !

other factoids about him...

his full name is Axel Cadogan

21 years old

hes a cis woman but goes by he/him pronouns bc hes swag like that

stands at 5 foot tall and weighs 220 lbs.

he wears a mechanic outfit as his boxing uniform.

Gets flustered really damn easily. Especially around hot women.

Gimmick: Basically a huge motor mouth (haha geddit) who calls out all of his attacks, and gives you plenty of time to avoid them. You do gotta watch out which way you dodge, though. Next up, Silver Hook and Scallywag !!!!!

The Meanest Hook Of The Seven Seas !

Ever since she was a little girl, she wanted to be just like the pirates from the stories she read all the time. This of course, includes having a parrot, which she affectionately named Scallywag. Unfortunately, Scallywag keeps running her mouth and telegraphing her owner’s moves ! Despite this, however, Silver can’t stand the thought of not having her emotional support parrot by her side.

Other factoids about her:

Her real name is Maria Bermudez

Cis woman, she/her

shes 29 years old

stands at 6'2 feet and weighs 200 pounds

from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

Her parrot is a Black-legged parrot. She’s had it since she was 5 years old.

Brings her parrot literally everywhere

Gimmick: Sure, she might be faster than Axel, but she's still a rather predictable fighter who telegraphs her attacks very clearly. You do gotta watch better which way you dodge, though. When the parrot says ''left!'', well, you better watch your left.

Up Next, the minor circuit champion, Dancing Queen !!!!!

Lay All Your Gloves On Me ~

A huge fan of ABBA, if that wasn’t already obvious, veteran Queen’s entire gimmick is based on that of 70’s pop and disco. She’s also by far the happiest person of perhaps the entire WVBA, despite being arguably the lowest ranking champion of all circuits. Some even theorize that she’d be happy, even if she was THE lowest ranked boxer. That’s because everytime she gets in the ring, she’s 17 again. That’s just how happy those Swedes are !

Other factoids:

Her real name is Heidi Karlsson

She's a trans lady, she/her

shes's 45 years old

she stands at 6'4 ft and weighs 215 lbs.

From Jönköping, Sweden

Always seen smiling. Always.

Became a boxer partially to let our her frustrations about disco fading away as a trend

Gimmick: she has a special move called the criss cross punch, where she diagonally raises her fist to punch you and then the other, similiarly to that iconic disco dance.

____________ Now for the major circuit !!!

Disclaimer: I do Not have designs or certain info for the majority of the characters from here on out. Please bare w/ me

Next up, Black and Bunraku !!!!! (props to charlie for the name)

A Boxer based on the japanese art of bunraku, Black and Bunraku actually consists of ''two fighters''; A puppet who hits you, and the puppeteer who controls the puppets movements, covered from head to toe in black. As a result, the woman's identity is a real mystery.

Other factoids:

Refuses to say her real name, age, height and weight, instead letting the puppet do all the talking.

From Osaka, Japan. This is also where the biggest bunraku theatre is located.

Gimmick: Hitting the puppet won't do anything. Once you figure out the trick to hitting her in the head, she's a fairly easy opponent to take down.

Next up: Nike the Great !!!!! A threatrical tirant and a complete history and art geek, Nike longs to be a wise philosopher slash theater actor like the ancient Greeks, with a boxing twist. Her stage name ‘’Nike’’, meaning victory in Greek, is one she holds because she is sure to be the victor, despite only being in the lower major circuit. Oh well, confidence is a stepping stone to success, right?

Other factoids:

Her real name is Nikki Ioannidis

She identifies as a nonbinary woman, she/he/they

27 years old

She stands at 6'0 feet and weighs 220 lbs.

From Athens, Greece

HUGE rivals with Narcis Prince. only ONE can wear the V for victory and that's HER.

Huge rivals with A Lot of people, including Monarch Mayhem (keep reading to see her bio !!)

During her intermissions and fights, she'll show you some of the art she's made, like painted vases. If you punch it out of her hands, she’ll get REAL mad though, so watch yourself !

Gimmick: Pretty clean fighter, outside of the fact she brings art into the ring. Hey, she's an artist after all !

Up next, Moto Mauler, The Electrifying Biker !!!!!!

This biker chick loves nothing more than the rush of the road and the wind in her hair ! and a good tussle of course. She will make sure to knock you out with the great speed she feels on her motor cycle.

Other factoids:

Her real name's Nguyen Lihn

She's a trans woman, she/her

24 years old

She stands at 5'9 ft and weighs 170 lbs.

From Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

During her intermissions, she'll talk about how beautiful the sights are and how you oughta be quicker on your feet.

She gets along swimmingly w/ Axel bc duh. mechanic x biker chick, cant go wrong w/ that right?

Gimmick: Clean fighter, outside of entering the ring on a motorcycle. Will try to exhaust you with quick jabs, and when you're tired, releases a series of punches to take you down.

Lastly, Monarch Mayhem, The Monarch of the Major Circuit !!!

Formerly known as Butterfly Bash :3

An unsuccesful artist turned boxer, Monarch Mayhem brings her frustrations into the ring, and with success! She is the crown jewel of the Major Circuit after all. That being said, she will NOT let you forget she's an artist! She will try to hypnotize you with stunning butterfly patterns on her sleeves made by herself of course, and dodge equally elegantly. At least the boxing crowd appreciates her !

Other factoids:

Cis woman, she/her

She's 31 years old

She stands at 6'1 ft and weighs 175 lbs.

From Calabar, Nigeria

Gimmick: Like i said, she'll try to stun you with hypnotizing patterns on her sleeves. The way to avoid this is to block your face, otherwise you'll get dizzy and become incapacitated ! Additionally, she does a lot of fake-outs, making her a formidable champion.

_____________

Now for the world circuit !!!

First off, Scarlet Fever, The Bad Omen !!!!!! Clad with arguably the most unorthodox boxing wear, a robe with a plague doctor mask, Scarlet Fever serves as an omen that the next opponents you’re about to face are the real deal. Other factoids:

Trans woman, she/her

She's 55 years old

Stands at 6'7 ft and weighs 210 lbs.

From Florence, Italy

Doesn’t speak, but does speak in Italian sign language.

Also does plenty of hand gestures in the ring

Secondly, Flossin' Fury, The Mental Dental Case !!!!!

After getting her medical license revoked for malpractise, she's now a dentist turned boxer. Got any cavities? Let's find out!

She's my newest addition to the OC roster, so i. Don't have much apart from a basic premise. She'll get developed soon though dw dw ! Thirdly, Sunny Gunny, The Granny with Guns !!!!!

After becoming tired of being bullied all the time, she trained to defend herself against bullies. Don’t let her old age fool you, she’s still a tanky old lady who can deal quite the mean punches ! That being said, whether you win or lose against her, she’s a nice old woman who’ll bake you some delicious goods !

Other factoids:

Her real name is Sondra ‘’Sunny’’ Seydoux

Cis woman, she/her

She's 80 years old

Stands at 6'5 ft and weighs 180 lbs

From Tallahassee, Florida

Of Haitian American descent

Of course brings baked good in the ring during intermissions. Also Oft seen knitting as well.

Balls of yarn spin around her head when she’s stunned

Gimmick: She just loves hugging her grandchildren, and this bleeds over in the ring as well; she's a real powerful hugger to the point you can b immediately incapacitated when you're hugged. During title defense, She will protect her body with her knitted blanket that can be removed in a certain way. Next up, Butch Diamond, A Girl’s Best Friend !!!!!

An Australian football player turned boxer, Butch has a robust body and an near impenetrable defense, making her a formidable fighter ! She puts her skills she learned from football into good use, so be quick on your feet ! Albeit somewhat cocky, she mostly just hams it up in the ring, and is a kind soul outside of it.

Other factoids:

Her real name is Desmond Kelly

GNC cis woman, she/he

He's 39 years old

He stands at 6'0 ft and weighs 235 lbs

She's from Melbourne, Australia

She's of Aboriginal Australian descent

Very sociable and friendly

Gimmick: Your Glass corn combo won’t work on her stomach! In fact, if you try it, you will lose HP! Instead, try stunning her and hitting her in the face with it! During her title defense, she’ll train harder, and somehow become even more robust. Now, your hands will be incapacitated for a short while if you try to hit her in the stomach repeatedly, longer if you try to do a glass corn combo.

And lastly but not leastly, Nessie,

The Shadow Champion !!!!

I've talked ab her before too, so again will keep it brief.

Gimmick: She's called a shadow champion for a reason ! Somehow, her surroundings become all dark whenever she enters the ring. During title defense, its as if you get pulled underwater. Does she use magic? Is she just that powerful? Nobody knows.

_____________

As for who would be good w/ kids...

Cassidy Cornfield: Not good with kids. Keeps scaring them with stories about aliens.

Axelerator: Axel co-runs his dad's mechanic shop, so hes definitely used to the responsibility.

Silver Hook and Scallywag: Makes kids laugh with her parrot, so pretty good with kids !

Dancing Queen: She has a couple kids of her own ! She's a great momma :3 Loves dancing with them

Black and Bunraku: Nah. Has made kids cry with her puppet. On her own, she's kinda awkward.

Nike the Great: Loves kids ! She loves telling them all kinds of stories ab ancient Greece and myths and being all theatrical about it.

Moto Mauler: Cool big sister type figure. Has a tendency to be too lenient towards kids though.

Monarch Mayhem: Think's kids r alright. Despite how difficult her path as an artist has been, she'd 100% encourage kids to follow their dreams.

Scarlet Fever: Same w/ Cassidy and Bunraku, she scares kids (albeit unintentionally).

Flossin' Fury: She's a dentist. and a scary one at that. So no, kids dont even get close to her vicinity.

Sunny Gunny: Has grandchildren, so naturally adores kids. Would bake delicious goods n spoil them rotten.

Butch Diamond: Also loves kids ! Loves carrying them on her shoulders n letting them climb all over her.

Nessie: Again, scares children, although she finds it funny.

All Smoke and Mirrors (finished)

Summary: Rico’s woven a web of deceit, and Margot’s a fly stuck in the middle of it. When the girl finds herself shrunken in a home to someone far bigger than herself, she figures she must be at odds with a giant. Rico, a definite human, takes her theory and runs with it, doing whatever it takes to pass off as a bloodthirsty monster. What she doesn’t know won’t hurt her, right?

One-Shots

Cornfield- Felix has run away from home. An inexperienced driver, they crash their mom’s minivan in an abundant cornfield. When a giant dog kidnaps them and leads them to an equally massive farm, they learn a great deal about the silent role giants take on- and they start to befriend one.

Jacket- an unnamed human’s pretty cold in this weather. Their minigiant friend has just the trick- if the stubborn human will take it.

Calculate- an unnamed tiny is caught. The giant knows them too well already.

There's enough time left in the day for me to remind you all that Cassidy has TWO- count em TWO Iowa stickers (unless it's just one big sticker but her wiki says it's 2 so-)

And as an Iowan, I'd be honoured to claim Cassidy as one of us and use this as 100% proof that she is definitely from Iowa, no questions asked. 😌

#wow loved my visit through hours of cornfields- gotta get a souvenir for this!#tbh shes too cool for iowa #no wonder she left #nobody has stickers of iowa unless they're from iowa #like you dont visit and say #so she's definitely from here #lis2 cassidy #life is strange #life is strange 2 #life is strange wednesday #iowa

Reading list: The Denver Post sports department’s favorite sports books to ride out the coronavirus

With everyone sitting around the house these days, and nowhere to go, what better time to get lost in a few books?

If you’re looking for a new title — or perhaps an old one — The Denver Post sports department has compiled a list of its favorite sports books. Even with a stay-at-home order in place, this ought to keep you busy for a while.

“Ball Four,” by Jim Bouton (1970) — The tell-all that rocked baseball, Seattle Pilots pitcher Jim Bouton journals the 1969 season and the trials, tribulations, victories and hilarities that go into everyday life as a big-league ballplayer. From Mickey Mantle to Bowie Kuhn, Bouton paints a vivid picture of major-league life, including the unsavory parts such as player infidelities and widespread amphetamine use. Still relevant to this day, especially in its portrayal of labor strife between players and owners. Kyle Newman

“The Boys of Summer,” by Roger Kahn (1972) — A seminal coming-of-age book that totally transfixed this young farm boy who could only dream of the world Roger Kahn inhabited. It was the storytelling, the weaving of personal reflections and the dreams of young men, and what happens when those men grow old, that made it so memorable. Kahn’s book spawned a genre of insider accounts, none living up to the original. Scott Monserud

“The Last Season of Weeb Ewbank,” by Paul Zimmerman (1974) — Before Dr. Z became Dr. Z of Sports Illustrated fame, he was the Jets beat writer for the New York Post. I came across this book when it was referenced in another football book and immediately went to Amazon to buy it. The book about Ewbank’s final season as the Jets’ coach is a great read about getting behind the scenes of a training camp and NFL game week and just how much access media had in the old days to the teams they covered. Ryan O’Halloran

“Once A Runner,” by John L. Parker Jr. (1978) — A novel about undergraduate miler Quenton Cassidy at a fictional university based on the University of Florida. The 1978 book is a cult classic among serious long-distance runners and tells the story of Cassidy’s extreme training rituals, under the tutelage of Olympian Bruce Denton, in his quest to run a sub-4-minute mile. Daniel Boniface

Matt Schubert, The Denver Post

Some of The Denver Post sports department’s favorite books.

“Breaks of the Game,” by David Halberstam (1981) — A Pulitzer Prize winning journalist steps into the chaotic, complicated mess that was the NBA of the late 1970s, when issues of race, labor strife and drug abuse cast a shadow over a struggling league. Halberstam embeds himself with the 1977-78 Portland Trail Blazers, who suffer a tragic fall from grace a year after stunning the Philadelphia 76ers in the 1977 NBA Finals. Aside from the storytelling, what makes this book exceptional are the figures Halberstam captures, including the irascible Maurice Lucas, the enigmatic Bill Walton and the brilliant Dr. Jack Ramsay. Matt Schubert

“Shoeless Joe,” by W. P. Kinsella (1982) — Kinsella weaves a magical tale about baseball, heroes, love and dreams. An Iowa farmer hears a voice: “If you build it, he will come.” The “he” is Shoeless Joe Jackson of the 1919 Chicago Black Sox scandal. The “it” is a baseball stadium carved out of a cornfield. Even if you have seen the movie “Field of Dreams” that was based on Kinsella’s novel, it is worth picking up. The author’s vivid descriptions and wonderful characters (some of whom don’t appear on screen) will transport you to a cornfield in Iowa where dreams do come true. Lori Punko

“Life Its Ownself,” by Dan Jenkins (1984) — The list of sequels that surpass the originals is a short one, but leave it to the late, great, reprobate Jenkins to do just that. “Life Its Ownself” steps into the big shoes of “Semi-Tough” and bursts the outsoles. NFL running back Billy Clyde Puckett tells the story, and I dare anyone to go more than two pages without having to stop to laugh out loud. You could argue that the book didn’t age well, but it remains a superb time capsule of 1980s sports culture — and often a nice piece of wisdom about the title. Mike Judson

“The New Thinking Man’s Guide To Pro Football,” Paul Zimmerman (1984) — Bill Barnwell? Peter King? Dr. Z got there first. Zimmerman wrote about football like the game was Chaucer, and he was the coolest literature professor on the planet. The man timed performances of the national anthem, then wrote a column about it. Like “Ball Four,” many of the universal truths in the “Thinking Man’s Guide” — and some of the B.S. it called out — still ring true. Sean Keeler

“Hajime no Ippo,” George Morikawa (1989-present) — For more than 30 years, this long-running Japanese graphic novel has followed the journey of Makunouchi Ippo and his gradual mastery of the sweet science of boxing. Morikawa blends the intricate dance between opponents inside the ring with a sweet coming-of-age story that happens outside it. Joe Nguyen

“If I Never Get Back” by Darryl Brock (1989) — A baseball writer struggling with his everyday life stumbles while boarding a train en route to cover a game. When he comes to, he discovers he’s a young player boarding a train to join his new team — the Cincinnati Red Stockings — in the summer of 1869. Realizing he’s a mediocre player immersed in the early days of professional baseball, he uses his knowledge of the sport and its history to help his team in other ways. (He invents the bunt and ballpark food.) Along the way, he develops a passion for life and takes advantage of the era — including seeking out Mark Twain. — TJ Hutchinson

“Friday Night Lights,” by Buzz Bissinger (1990) — The town is Odessa, Texas in 1988, the team is Permian High School football and the dream is the glory that winning brings. But there are huge costs. Teenagers’ lives are fulfilled but also shattered, values are compromised and football becomes a false god. As the New York Times book review put it: ” ‘Friday Night Lights’ offers a biting indictment of the sports craziness that grips … most of American society, while at the same time providing a moving evocation of its powerful allure.” Patrick Saunders

“Loose Balls,” by Terry Pluto (1990) — Marvin Barnes. Fly Williams. Wendell Ladner. Slick Leonard. The ABA had more characters than a Warner Brothers cartoon, and Pluto’s first-person, anecdotal collection is a stitch from start to finish. The truth of the nine seasons of the ABA was stranger than Will Ferrell’s fictional “Semi-Pro” film could ever hope to be. And twice as funny, to boot. One of the grandpappies, for better or for worse, of the “oral history” style of sports storytelling. Sean Keeler

“Worst Team Money Could Buy,” by Bob Klapisch (1993) — Devoured this book as a high school student and couldn’t wait to cover pro sports one day. Klapisch, then with the New York Daily News, and Harper, then with the New York Post, chronicled the overpaid/underperforming 1992 New York Mets. In a month-by-month chronicle, the writers inserted vignettes about a day in the life of a baseball writer, being trapped on the tabloid’s back page and catching up with old sources, plus lists of their all-time good guys, bad guys, best cities, etc. Ryan O’Halloran

“The Life of Reilly,” by Rick Reilly (2000) — Ok, so this is definitely a stump for a Colorado native and former Denver Post sportswriter, but the point stands: Reilly owned the back page of Sports Illustrated for over two decades, and this collection of sports columns will make you laugh, cry and feel all sorts of ways about sports. With his signature style and wit, Reilly brings out the important and thoughtful side of sports, with plenty of Colorado players, coaches and stories featured in the book. Kyle Newman

“The Punch,” by John Feinstein (2002) — It would be nearly impossible to compile a list of great sports books without mentioning at least one title from Feinstein’s voluminous catalog. While some may prefer “A Season on the Brink” or “A Good Walk Spoiled,” there’s a human element to “The Punch” that makes it one of his best. Detailing the events surrounding perhaps the most infamous punch in professional sports, Feinstein shows how one event forever altered the lives of the two men involved in it — the L.A. Lakers’ Kermit Washington’s and Houston Rockets’ Rudy Tomjanovich. Matt Schubert

“Moneyball,” by Michael Lewis (2003) — The sabermetrics that are now standard in today’s game were just beginning to make their way into MLB front offices during the 1990s and around the turn of the century. Lewis’ modern-day baseball classic profiles general manager Billy Beane and Oakland as the franchise takes advantage of market inefficiencies to make the low-budget A’s competitive. Kyle Newman

“Positively Fifth Street,” by James McManus (2003) — Gambling. Murder. The mob. This intricately woven tale of Las Vegas and the World Series of Poker takes readers on a wild ride as McManus makes a run to the Main Event final table while also covering the murder trial of Rick Tabish and Sandy Murphy for Harper’s Magazine. Along the way, McManus recounts the history of no-limit Texas Hold’em, the signature game of the WSOP, as well as the story of the Binion family and its patriarch Benny Binion — owner of Binion’s Horseshoe casino, WSOP founder and father of Tabish and Murphy’s alleged victim, Ted Binion. Matt Schubert

“Three Nights in August,” by Buzz Bissinger (2005) — Seen by some as the baseball establishment’s answer to “Moneyball,” this book follows St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa as he navigates a critical series against the Chicago Cubs in August 2003. Bissinger, who also penned the classic “Friday Night Lights,” takes readers inside the mind of one of baseball’s greatest tacticians as he wrestles with how to manage the Cardinals’ lineup, pitching staff and his own omnipresent demons. Matt Schubert

“Clemente: The Passion and Grace of Baseball’s Last Hero,” by David Maraniss (2006) — This is so much more than a biography of a baseball legend. It explores racism in America, paints a picture of baseball in a changing world and goes beyond the myth of Clemente, who played baseball with “a beautiful fury.” Maraniss’ prose paints Clemente as a true hero, and not just because he died in a plane crash on Dec. 31, 1972, while delivering aid to earthquake victims in Nicaragua at the age of 38. Patrick Saunders

“Game of Shadows,” by Lance Williams and Mark Fainaru-Wada (2006) — The lying. The cheating. The news conferences with athletes professing their innocence and astonishment that a drug test had come back positive. Read “Game of Shadows,” the brilliantly written expose by the reporters who broke the BALCO story, and you’ll lose any illusions about the depth of cheating within professional sports. Decades from now it’ll stand the test of time as the definitive accounting of the steroid era that nearly brought down baseball. Scott Monserud

“The Blind Side,” by Michael Lewis (2006) — Few non-fiction novelists capture a subject quite like Lewis, who’s extensive and eclectic canon of work includes “Moneyball,” “The Big Short” and “Liar’s Poker.” In his foray into football, Lewis examines the historical evolution of the left tackle position as edge rushers like Lawrence Taylor changed the way the game was played. Football luminaries like Bill Walsh, Bill Parcells and Nick Saban all make appearances, as Lewis deftly weaves in the incredible story of Michael Oher, an undiscovered gem who spent his early years living on the streets of Memphis. Matt Schubert

“Pistol: The Life of Pete Maravich,” by Mark Kriegel (2007) — As a teenager, I became fascinated by Maravich but never got to see him play on TV. I had to make do reading stories in Sports Illustrated about an electrifying basketball magician wearing gray, floppy sweat socks and attracting sellout crowds wherever he played. Kriegel’s book is a wonderfully written fast-paced tale of a man who transformed the game he loved but was haunted by demons he could not shake. Scott Monserud

“Arnie & Jack,” by Ian O’Connor (2008) — It would be too easy to list a John Feinstein golf book since I’ve read them all. I went with O’Connor’s book that was released about a decade ago. The cover picture – Arnold Palmer helping Jack Nicklaus line up a putt during a team competition – was a great hook and recapped their battles on the course, but Palmer’s command of the sport’s fans and endorsement opportunities. A great read. Ryan O’Halloran

“The Book of Basketball” by Bill Simmons (2009) — This humorous and thoughtful deep dive into the history of the NBA is essential reading for any hoops head. After giving his thoughts on “the secret” of the game, Simmons delves into how the league got to where it was in 2009 (going all the way back to the days of Mikan) before ranking the greatest teams, champions and players off all time in a witty and exhaustive manner. Sure, Simmons gets a little verbose. And, yes, he goes heavy on a few ham-fisted pop-culture references. But if you care at all about the Association, this is the breeziest 697-page read you can find. Matt Schubert

“Baseball in the Garden of Eden: The Secret History of the Early Game,” by John Thorn (2011) — Written by the official historian of Major League Baseball, Thorn enlightens baseball fans as to the game’s true roots. Who really invented America’s pastime, and who were the movers and shifters in the early stages of a game dominated by gambling? Surprising and informative, even the most studied baseball fans will get plenty out of this piece of history. Kyle Newman

“The Art of Fielding,” Chad Harbach (2011) — This novel is set at a small midwestern college and tells the story of elite shortstop Henry Skrimshander, who is destined to be a first-round pick in the MLB draft before a routine throw derails his life and upends his college experience. The characters are rich and the story engrossing. There’s no need to be a baseball fan to get wrapped into this story, either. Michael Singer

“Unstoppable” by Anthony Robles, 2013 — An incredible biography about Arizona State’s one-legged wrestling champion. Robles, born without his right leg because of a birth defect, became a wrestling icon with his Division I national championship in 2011. The book profiles the courage and strength he summoned throughout his life and athletic journey, going from a scrawny high school wrestler who got dominated to the one doing the dominating at ASU. Kyle Newman

“The Summer of Beer and Whiskey,” by Edward Achorn (2013) — Set in the rough-and-tumble days of 1880s professional baseball, the book profiles the upstart American Association, which appeared poised to challenge the National League for dominance of the sport. Chris Von der Ahe, an eccentric, innovative and fearless German immigrant, takes center stage as the daring owner of the St. Louis Browns and a founder of the American Association. With popularity in baseball waning because of scandals, gambling and thugs that weighed down the sport in the 1870s, Von der Ahe, the Browns and the American Association breathe new life into the sport. And, of course, there are plenty of colorful characters (and lots of boozing ballplayers) along the way. Kyle Newman

“Captain Class,” by Sam Walker (2017) — What makes a sports team great goes beyond X’s and O’s? What makes a great leader in the locker room can be defined, and the answer might surprise you. For what it’s worth: Avs captain Gabe Landeskog uses it as reference book. Mark Kiszla

“Basketball (and other things),” by Shea Serrano (2017) — Have you ever wondered where Air Bud would get selected in a fictional basketball player draft? What about Lola Bunny (Space Jam), Sidney Deane (White Men Can’t Jump) or Will Smith (Fresh Prince)? Of course you haven’t. Serrano answers the basketball questions you didn’t know you needed answers to. We’re talking trivial questions, like which was the most important NBA championship ever, and more pressing questions, such as “If 1997 Karl Malone and a bear swapped places for a season, who would be more successful?” In other words, essential reading. Michael Singer

“Football For A Buck,” by Jeff Pearlman (2018) — The life and times of the USFL … short in terms of life/times (three years), but long on stories about how the fledgling football league lured several top college players, including Jim Kelly, Reggie White and Herschel Walker, to play in the summer. Pearlman’s narrative is equal parts hilarious and informative — tales about travel, tryouts, pay checks, stadiums and our current commander in chief, who wanted to challenge the NFL in the fall and failed miserably. Ryan O’Halloran

“Range,” by David Epstein (2019) — This is not necessarily a sports book, per se, but there are definitely elements that apply. The book begins by comparing Tiger Woods (a specialist) to Roger Federer (who dabbled in skiing, wrestling, swimming, skateboarding, basketball, ping pong and tennis). Epstein makes the convincing argument that dabblers are often better in the long run, be it athletes, musicians, artists or inventors. A compelling book that will make you reconsider the best way to learn. Michael Singer

Quote

Tulip could have easily become an empty caricature of a so-called Strong Female Character, the kind whose personality mostly comes from a propensity for violence and one-liners. Or she might have been the typical comic-adaptation girlfriend who is kept away from the action and implores her man to be a good guy. Instead, Tulip is a complex figure who challenges preconceived notions of women in comic adaptations, diversity in the genre and antiheroes on TV. Casting Negga demanded major changes to the character. In the comics, Tulip is drawn as a blonde-haired, blue-eyed white woman; Negga is of Ethiopian and Irish descent. Racebending older comic characters for the screen is a necessity given the justified demands of audiences for greater diversity. It’s a challenge to others who feel comfortable whitewashing characters, sidelining people of color or trading in the harmful stereotypes that are baked into the premises of these decades-old stories. Just look at Marvel’s recent mistakes with the mistreatment of Asian characters on the second season of Daredevil and the upcoming Doctor Strange. Changing the races of characters like Tulip to people of color opens up much-needed story possibilities. After all, how many more white men prone to quips and brooding can audiences take? The change also shifts our expectations of Tulip’s narrative. The weight of being a black woman in the South — especially in a story that skewers Southern bigotry — can’t be downplayed. The show hasn’t fully delved into the way her identity has shaped her experiences, but there are hints in how her aggression almost functions as a defense mechanism, biting back at men twice her size before they get the chance to cause any harm. Tulip willfully trades insults and threats of violence with everyone, from the men lounging around the brothel she occasionally finds refuge in to Preacher Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper) himself, whom she tries to convince to return to his life of crime. All of these men are white. Tulip’s introduction in the pilot makes it clear how radically different she is from her comic counterpart. In a flashback to the recent past we learn that she’s a capable hired gun, fighting for her life inside an unmanned car that careens through a Kansas cornfield. In the scenes that follow she kills a man with an ear of corn, uses the help of two children to fashion a DIY bazooka and then shoots down a helicopter, leaving a fiery mess — and both kids in utter awe. There’s a moment at the kitchen table, as she crafts that weapon, when it seems that the creators might veer Tulip into faux-feminist territory: “A woman needs to know how to be strong, stand on her own,” she says. But the mood shifts when she gets a faraway look in her eyes and discusses how life demands such strength from anyone who dares to love: “Man or woman, if you’re lucky enough to fall in love you have to be even stronger. Fight like a lion to keep it alive. So that on the day your love is weak enough or selfish enough or freaking stupid enough to run away, you have the strength to track him down and eat him alive.” In a few short scenes we learn that Tulip is volatile, joyful, badass and surprisingly good with kids. What we witness in her introduction also extends to her relationship with Jesse. Instead of being the traditional comic-adaptation girlfriend, she’s the one who tries to seduce Jesse to embrace his darkness. Brutality and caring exist hand-in-hand within Tulip, something that isn’t quite a through-line for their relationship in the comics. Compare this to the Tulip we find on the page: an apprehensive and reluctant assassin who fumbles her hit, shooting the jaw off the wrong man and only able to escape when she happens to meet Irish vampire Cassidy sitting in his car nearby. Comic Tulip has her own very different complications, but the way the character is routinely sexualized undercuts her more interesting qualities. If translated directly from the comics, Tulip would be more conventional — and less dynamic. Negga discusses the morality of Tulip in a recent interview, saying, “The brilliant thing about that speech [with the kids] is that she’s basically saying it’s okay to beat someone up or be violent if it’s going to help you. She has a very twisted moral viewpoint, but it’s so necessary, because so often women aren’t allowed that, are they? That opportunity, to be a fully rounded, flawed human being with a twisted viewpoint. It’s always the man. The woman is always kind of sober, motherly energy.” In this way Tulip stands as a powerful addition to the conversation about television’s antiheroes. Much has been made about the recent proliferation of female antiheroes, like the icy lead of The Girlfriend Experience, the dedicated Elizabeth Jennings of The Americans and the manipulative women of UnREAL. What has been less discussed is how white this trend remains. Yes, there are exceptions, like Viola Davis in How to Get Away with Murder. But not enough. That’s part of why Tulip is so fascinating. If the usual white female antihero makes the claim that women can be monstrous too, black female antiheroes do something more subversive. An antihero like Tulip is a striking repudiation of the roles black women have been defined by in this country — the mammy, the jezebel, the strong black woman — whose legacy still manifests itself onscreen. What’s refreshing is that, despite having faced a lifetime of Southern racism and sexism, Tulip isn’t suffering or routinely beaten down like many of the other black women onscreen (just look at Olivia Pope on Scandal). There’s a joyousness to her that shouldn’t feel rare, but is. Tulip’s morality may be more than a bit gray, but she doesn’t waver in her beliefs or desires. She’s a black woman moving through a bigoted milieu full of leering townsfolk who wish she would stay in her place — especially when she is the only person to complain about the death of a young prostitute after a paintball game gone wrong. For all that, none of this would work without Negga’s assured performance. She infuses Tulip with unexpected levity and innocence, and her charisma is enough to carry the scenes with the far more reactionary Jesse.

Killer Tied (Eve Appel Mystery) by Lesley A. Diehl

About the Book

Killer Tied (Eve Appel Mystery) Cozy Mystery 6th in Series Camel Press (March 15, 2018) Paperback: 264 pages ISBN-13: 978-1603813198 Digital ASIN: B0789824WQ

Eve Appel Egret is adjusting to married life with Sammy and their three adopted sons in Sabal Bay, Florida. While still running her consignment stores, she is going pro with her sleuthing by becoming an apprentice to a private detective.

Until her marriage, Eve’s only “family” was her grandmother Grandy, who raised her after her parents died in a boating accident. Now, in addition to her husband and sons, she has a father-in-law who clearly dislikes her. Sammy’s father, a full-blooded Miccosukee Indian long presumed dead, has emerged from the swamps where he’s been living like a hermit, and he isn’t happy about Eve’s marriage to his half-Miccosukee, half-white son.

As for Eve’s family, are her parents really dead? A woman named Eleanor claims to be Eve’s half-sister, born after her mother faked a boating accident to escape her abusive husband, Eve’s father. Then Eleanor’s father turns up dead in the swamps, stabbed by a Bowie knife belonging to Sammy’s father, Lionel. Strange as Lionel Egret is, Eve knows he had no motive to kill this stranger. In order to clear him, Eve must investigate Eleanor’s claims, and she might not like what digging around in her family’s past uncovers.

About the Author

INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR

What initially got you interested in writing?

I’ve always written, stories and essays when I was a teen as well as poetry. I had a piece published in a college literary journal, and I always wrote for academic journals and texts in graduate school and when I taught and did administrative work in college and university. The fiction bug bit when I retired. I’ve always loved mysteries—I read Nancy Drew as a girl—then graduated to Agatha Christie. Having relocated in retirement to the Southwest, I had no idea what to do with my time, so I began dabbling in constructing a mystery, set, as you would guess, on a college campus. It was long, boring and really terrible. I had to learn to write mysteries. I took online classes and went to writing conferences to learn the art of creating tension on the page.

What genres do you write in?

Having no background in law or police work, I write cozy mysteries with snoopy women sleuths. I make them women I admire for their spunk and pair them with gal pals who help them in their snooping. I also make certain there is a hunky guy who finds them both annoying and interesting. A lot of action, murder and some romance.

What drew you to writing these specific genres?

It would be impossible for me to write about a cop or a lawyer with no background in those fields, but nosy women? Well, that’s no stretch!

How did you break into the field?

I was first published by a small regional press, won a prestigious short story contest, and armed with this newly minted confidence, began writing several cozy mysteries that found their way to small and medium publishers.

What do you want readers to take away from reading your works?

I always have my protagonists deal with social, environmental and criminal issues that confront our society. I’ve intertwined issues such as hydraulic fracturing, floods, fires, hurricanes and tornados, human trafficking, and sexual assault as well as murder into my work. Family issues are the most important conflicts that my protagonists face every day. Cozy mysteries are all about living in today’s world—both the good and the bad aspects of our lives.

What do you find most rewarding about writing?

I instill humor into my work, so I try to make myself smile and laugh as I write. I do not consider writing drudgery. I love it and enjoy creating characters that are unusual and situations that are funny. Away from my computer, the best part about writing is the people I meet who have read my novels and enjoyed them. I find that more rewarding than the money I make from selling my books. Heavens knows I am not a best-selling author, so it’s thrilling when someone writes to me or tells me at a book event that she or he is a fan!

What do you find most challenging about writing?

The nitty-gritty of writing, I mean the actual transferring of ideas onto my computer screen is difficult for me because I am the world’s worst typist. I never learned how to type properly. I still look at the keys! I wish here were some way to hook a cable into my brain and transmit the thoughts to the screen.

What advice would you give to people wanting to enter the field?

Learn how to construct and write a mystery. That way you will know what the guidelines or rules are, and you will understand what you are doing when you decide to break them. Go to writers’ conferences and hang with others who are writing and learn from the workshops offered at these meetings. Join writers’ organizations such as Sisters in Crime, Mystery Writers of America and local groups. Don’t act like the Lone Ranger and think you can easily break into publishing by ignoring advice from experts who can help you accomplish that.

What type of books do you enjoy reading?

Mysteries, of course. My favorite authors are Robert Parker, Agatha Christie, Kerry Greenwood, to name a few. I find mysteries a good intellectual workout to keep my brain in shape. I couldn’t write them without having read many.

Is there anything else besides writing you think people would find interesting about you?

I love to go to yard sales, consignment shops, and thrift stores. My protagonist in the Eve Appel mysteries is a consignment shop owner. Because of my passion for the used, Eve is the genuine article, a woman impassioned about secondhand designer fashions. I research the field almost weekly as I dash off to yard sales on Saturdays and explore consignment shops whenever I run across one. Finding bargains at yard sales is a lot like solving a mystery. So satisfying.

What are the best ways to connect with you, or find out more about your work?

The very best way is to go to www.lesleyadiehl.com and click on the link to my blog or publications. I publish the blog every Sunday with giveaways, contests, guest authors and my own take on the writing life.

Lesley is a country gal through and through, from her childhood on a dairy farm in Illinois to college in a cornfield in Iowa, Lesley creates sassy, snoopy protagonists who embrace chasing killers in country settings. Lesley writes several series: the Big Lake Murder mysteries and the Eve Appel mysteries both set in rural Florida; the Laura Murphy mysteries located on a lake in upstate New York; and short stories, some featuring a few of Lesley’s unique relatives from back on the farm (Aunt Nozzie and the Grandmothers). She is inspired by an odd set of literary muses: a ghost named Fred and a coyote as yet unnamed. Killer Tied is the sixth mystery in the Eve Appel Mysteries.
