The Mad Dog 100

The essential book for any sports fan, from one of the reigning kings of sports talk radio, Christopher "Mad Dog" Russo.

Which was the greater achievement, Ted Williams's .406 season or Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak?
Who'd be left standing in a battle between Joe Louis and Mohammed Ali?
Which NBA team was the greatest of all time -- the '66-'67 Celtics, the '71-'72 Lakers? What about the '95-'96 Bulls?
Who would dominate the ultimate Pebble Beach showdown -- Ben Hogan or Tiger Woods?
Who was the most important athlete of the twentieth century?

You're a sports fan. You love a good argument and you'll defend your position as fervently as Michael Jordan at crunch time. You'll analyze games and terrible calls, throw out stats to prove a point, and heatedly debate whether a player is an overachiever -- or merely overpaid.

Now, in his long-awaited and completely original book, Christopher "Mad Dog" Russo sets up and breaks down the one hundred greatest sports arguments of all time. In classic Mad Dog style, each chapter tackles a classic sports debate and takes sides with the clear, step-by-step opinions that have made Russo one of the top radio personalities in the country.

The Mad Dog 100 covers it all: from baseball (Who really should go to Cooperstown?), to basketball (Chamberlain, Russell, or Shaq: who's the NBA's most dominant center ever?), to football (Who is the greatest NFL quarterback ever?), to hockey (What are the greatest hockey dynasties of all time?) -- and is a catch-all of other crucial modern-day sports questions like: Is instant replay really worth it? What's the true role of performance-enhancing drugs? Are salary caps really necessary?

Whether you're reading The Mad Dog 100 or debating these sports arguments with friends, this is the definitive companion for any self-respecting sports fan.

The Mad Dog 100

The Greatest Sports Arguments of All Time

Chapter One

The Slammer of '41 Which feat was more formidable, Joe DiMaggio's 56-game streak, or Ted Williams' .406 season? It was one of the most remarkable summers baseball had ever seen. Every day for two months, Joe DiMaggio woke up, put on his sanitary socks and his Yankee cap, and got a hit. And on the last day of the season, Ted Williams wouldn't take a seat even with his .400 average at stake. Sixty years later Mad Dog dissects two of baseball's classic accomplishments. .406 or 56 games? Two of baseball's magic numbers. They're both amazing feats- made all the more remarkable by the fact that they both happened in the same year. But which feat is really greater? More than sixty years later, I think baseball fans look on both of these accomplishments with almost equal reverence. But to really compare them, first I think you have to transport yourself back before World War II. In 1941, people were more in awe of Joe DiMaggio than Ted Williams. Nobody had ever hit in 50 games in a row. Th ... read full excerpt from The Mad Dog 100 ebook
