Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Find out what itâs like to have Âthe best job in townâ
Dave Perkins was once told by a bluntly helpful university admissions officer: ÂYou donât have the looks for TV or the voice for radio. You should go into print.â Which he did, first at the Globe and Mail, and then for 36 well-travelled years at the Toronto Star.
In Fun and Games, Perkins recounts hysterical, revealing, and sometimes embarrassing personal stories from almost every sport and many major championships. After 40 years of encountering a myriad of athletes, fans, team managers, and owners, Perkins offers unique observations on the Blue Jays and Raptors, 58 major championshipsâ worth of golf, 10 Olympic Games, football, hockey, boxing, horse racing, and more.
Learn why Tiger Woods asked Perkins if he was nuts, why he detected Forrest Gump in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, and why Super Bowl week is the worst week of the year. Perkins exposes the mistakes he made in both thought and word  once, when intending to type Âthe shot ran down the goalieâs leg,â he used an Âiâ instead of an Âoâ  and to this day, he has never found a sacred cow that didnât deserve a barbecue.
