Critics Review
“Fascinating… Schoenfeld is a canny storyteller, and his portraits of the big beasts (and the almost-rans) are vivid.” – Chris Stoel-Walker - New Scientist”[Game of Edges is] a panoramic, intercontinental tour of sports’ newest battlegrounds: the executive suites perched high above the playing fields and the data rooms buried beneath them, where true success is measured not in wins but dollars. Buoyed by Schoenfeld’s insider access to some of the industry’s most secretive chieftains and power brokers, Game of Edges is an essential book for sports fans and business readers alike.” – Ben Reiter, The New York Times best-selling author of Astroball“A sweeping look at one of the most significant developments in worldwide sports.” – Christine Brennan, best-selling author of Inside Edge
