  A buried treasure and a cat fishing tournament where the winners are predestined come together in the Unis Shellington IV's  hysterically funny novella "Channel Cats".  Based in northern Louisiana Terrence Ida (fisherman extraordinaire) invites he new 'best friend' Newby to join him in the upcoming cat fishing tournament on Manassas Brown Bayou.  Beatrice (treasure hunter extraordinaire) invites Newby to join her search of F. I. P. (workstation for all, a mid-sized machine shop) for 'Hap's Money', a pile of loot he was accused of stealing over twenty years ago.  These two facets of Newby's life (treasure hunting and cat fishing) are both blended together, and on a collision course within Unis's tale, one that will have you laughing out loud as Beatrice and Terrence lead Newby on their own far-fetched adventures.

  “Football’s massive popularity is undeniable, as are the many reasons players and fans are drawn to the game. But what is also undeniable is the game’s brutality and the troubling aspects of football culture at all levels. To whatever extent the reader shares Irv Muchnick’s perspective and conclusions, the evidence and arguments he presents deserve thoughtful attention.” — Bob Costas, Emmy Award–winning sportscaster 
  		 
  “Muchnick’s jeremiad digs deeper than ever into the greed and hypocrisy of high school and college football, and the trail of broken bodies left in their wake. His information on the perils of conditioning is essential reading and might save your kid’s life.” — Robert Lipsyte, author of The Contender and SportsWorld
  		 
  Football’s concussion crisis is well known, with our Hall of Fame heroes behaving erratically and dying young. But did you know that kid players across the continent die every year before a single ball is snapped — just from extreme conditioning drills directed by all-powerful coaches? And then, when the unimaginable happens, the football world simply buries the evidence, pays off victims’ families, and moves on …
  		 
  Without Helmets or Shoulder Pads presents the shocking stories of young men struck down by exertional heatstroke and other, often unacknowledged, causes. Taking the conversation about football and public health to a new level with investigations of the sport’s underreported worst tragedies and cover-ups it makes the case that no matter how much we enjoy America’s most popular sport at elite levels it belongs out of our public schools and off our public fields.

  Have you already tried a million different diets without success?  
  Are you convinced that you will never lose weight?  
  Have you heard about hypnosis to lose weight and would like to learn more? 
  Hey listen, 
  At this time, I assume that you already realize how powerful your mind is. Have you ever heard that 90% of the disease is related to how your brain and mind work? Exactly, and that's the truth. But that's not the subject I am going to talk about today. 
  Today, we're talking about how to use your mind and empower it to help you get in shape and healthy. And how to make it help you instead of constantly pushing you back… Yes, I am talking about those nights when you feel stressed out, sad, anxious, and the only way to push it away that you know about is to get some chips, hamburger, pizza, or any other fabricated food. 
  Just imagine. How would your life change if you have been "IN CONTROL" of every single action you take – and STRONGER than any craving you may experience? 
  In fact, The 1998 Study by Kirsch showed that utilizing hypnosis plus CBT instead of CBT on it’s own for weight loss yielded nearly double the amount of weight loss. Yes, double! 
  And, another study by Cordi & Rasch stated that after listening to the hypnosis the participants experienced up to 80 percent more slow-wave sleep, which hugely improves the overall quality of your sleep. 
  Keep in mind that you don't have to hire some expensive therapist to make these strategies work for you: inside this book, you'll find the knowledge and tools you need to achieve the results you have always dreamed about!

In a detailed diary—his first since Ball Four—Bouton takes us along on his wild ride into the teeth of corporate malfeasance, anti-democratic processes, the tyranny of a one-newspaper town, and the real reason why the good old boys wanted to build a new stadium. For the first time in two decades, enjoy Foul Ball as never before with freshly edited content and a new foreword from Jim Bouton's wife, Paula.c
