Critic Reviews

“Barstool Book of Sports is stimulating in a lot of ways. It's educational, even for someone who knows a lot about sports. It's amusing because it's presented in a lively, breezy style. And it's provocative because the author offers strong viewpoints backed by research.”

Barstool Book of Sports is stimulating in a lot of ways. It’s educational, even for someone who knows a lot about sports.  It’s amusing because it’s presented in a lively, breezy style. And it’s provocative because the author offers strong viewpoints backed by research. -- Dan Pompei, award-winning NFL sports journalist
Read this on a plane and forgot I was on a plane, which is one of the biggest compliments I can give to a book I read on a plane. Daniels bounces from topic to topic, never taking himself – or sports – too seriously. -- Martin Rickman, UPROXX Sports
