So instead of working on my own love life, I help conflicted lovers, lost lovers, and crazy ex-lovers find love again. But finding love is like digging a see-through needle out of a haystack. And there’s a hiccup I’ve not run across before though. And my number one rule is about to be destroyed. I can just sense it. No dating clients. Period. But my latest customer is a mystery. He refuses to turn on his webcam during our sessions. He blames it on being famous. Something about him makes me want to know more. Lots more. I get my chance when he sends me a message after one of our sessions to fly out and meet him in Nashville. I can’t say no.The catch?He didn’t send the message.The silver lining?Going might be just what fixes my own future for good.Look out love… here I come.

    At least, that's what I’d thought a year earlier when a few stolen moments with this one, unexpected girl, turned my heart to mush.I thought she was different.I thought she was special. But it turned out I was wrong.I was the kind of guy who learned from his mistakes quickly, so I moved away, threw myself into my budding football career, and I was determined to make something of myself and focus on my future.And it worked, despite me missing her. For a short while, I had everything figured out again. Then, in one split second, it was all gone, ripped out from beneath my feet. An injury forced me back home to Winslow to face the world I’d left behind.But I wasn't the same man when I returned.I was different now. Too different for everything to go back the way it was before. -Jake I wasn't the relationship type. I was the girl who mothers warned their sons about. I was the local piece of trash.At least, that's what they all thought.None of them ever really knew me at all. None of them except him.And then he left me… alone and confused. He forced me to hate him, to hate them all. I wanted to drift away. Leave Winslow far behind me and start afresh someplace else. Someplace new. Somewhere I could become anything and anyone I wanted to be.But then he came back, dragging with him every moment, every explicit memory I had of us together and dumping them unceremoniously at my feet.I wanted to keep hating him. I wanted to resist.But he was different now. So cold, so angry, and sexy as all hell. He’d changed, and all my plans for a happy ever after were shattered the moment he made the decision to return and show me exactly what I’d been missing while he’d been gone. I was screwed. -Melanie

    From John Thomas' dark days of re-election to Paul Gallagher aging like a fine wine under Alex Neil. Mark Lawrenson contributes the foreword.

    But the game itself has uncertain roots, and its complex social and commercial profiles have often proved as fascinating for observers as have the activities on the field. This book is the first to analyze in detail the evidence of the development of football in Ireland, from its origins to the partition of both the country and the game. In doing so, it will be the first to provide a truly historical perspective to what has become an irreplaceable feature of modern life. Using the records of the Irish Football Association, government papers, the contemporary press, and personal memoirs, the fascinating story of the early development of the game, from uncertain beginnings in Belfast in 1878 through to the triumphs of the Irish national team in 1914 and the divisions brought about by partition in the 1920s, is recounted in absorbing detail. In tracing the early days of the professional game, the backgrounds of the players is sketched in, sympathetically and with a fine eye for detail, as is the development of the foundation clubs and the profiles of those who ran them. Equally intriguing are the descriptions of the composition and behaviour of the crowds that supported them.

    

    Losers in the previous Super Bowl, a ragtag bunch of overlooked, underappreciated, or just plain old players, they were led by Don Shula, a genius young coach obsessed with obliterating the reputation that he couldn’t win the big game. And as the Dolphins headed into only their seventh season, all eyes were on Miami. For the last time, a city was hosting both national political conventions, and the backdrop to this season of redemption would be turbulent: the culture wars, the Nixon reelection campaign, the strange, unfolding saga of Watergate, and the war in Vietnam. Generational and cultural divides abounded on the team as well. There were long-haired, bell-bottomed party animals such as Jim “Mad Dog” Mandich, as well as the stylish Marv Fleming and Curtis Johnson, with his supernova afro, playing alongside conservative, straight-laced men like the quarterbacks: Bob Griese and the crew-cut savior, 38-year-old backup Earl Morrall. Larry Csonka and Jim Kiick, nicknamed “Butch and Sundance,” had to make way for a third running back, the outspoken and flamboyant Mercury Morris. But unlike the fractious society around them, this racially and culturally diverse group found a way to meld seamlessly into a team. The perfect team. Marshall Jon Fisher’s Seventeen and Oh is a compelling, fast-paced account of a season unlike any other.

    However, the league’s star team, the Toledo Troopers, emerged to challenge traditional gender roles and amass a win-loss record never before or since achieved in American football. The players were housewives, factory workers, hairdressers, former nuns, high school teachers, bartenders, mail carriers, pilots, and would-be drill sergeants. Black, white, Latina. Mothers and daughters and aunts and sisters. But most of all, they were athletes who had been denied the opportunity to play a game they were born to play. Before the protests and the lobbyists, before the debates and the amendments, before the marches and the mandates, there was only an obscure advertisement in a local Midwestern paper and those who answered it, women such as Lee Hollar, the only woman working the line at the Libbey glass factory; Gloria Jimenez, who grew up playing sports with her six brothers; and Linda Jefferson, one the greatest, most accomplished athletes in sports history. Stephen Guinan grew up in Toledo pulling for his hometown football team, and—in the innocence of youth—did not realize at the time what a barrier-breaking lost piece of history he was witnessing. We Are the Troopers shines light on forgotten champions who came together for the love of the game.
