About this item

Sports radio legend Stugotz rewrites the record books, taking rings away from undeserving champions and giving them to the rightful winners.

“I’ve been accused of rooting against every team in America, but I am rooting FOR Stugotz’s Personal Record Book.”—Joe Buck

Without Tom Brady, Bill Belichick is a worse head coach than Herm Edwards. Kevin Durant has no rings. Rafael Nadal is not on the Mount Rushmore of men’s tennis.

For years, popular sports radio personality Stugotz has been telling fans that he keeps a “personal record book,” a kind of alternate sports universe in which Babe Ruth is not a great Yankee, Sean McVay has no rings, and Joe Namath is not in the Hall of Fame, to name just a few of his sacred proclamations.

As Stugotz hilariously renders his controversial judgments with the steely conviction of a psychopath, what might seem like broadsides meant to rattle the cages of avid sports fans are transformed into shockingly wise, well-considered arguments that, taken together, form a radical revision of sports history. Prepare to be wildly entertained as he shows where flash and hype have replaced integrity and sportsmanship. He takes rings away and gives new ones out, reframes some of history’s most iconic games, and declares entire sports dead (sorry, horse racing). He even invites some of the biggest names in sports media, such as Scott Van Pelt and Mina Kimes, to offer their rebuttals. By taking on the legends of basketball, baseball, hockey, soccer, and tennis, Stugotz leaves no stone unturned—and no sport unscathed.

    DAAAAAANNNNNNN... make no mistake about it. Books are BACK. I haven't read the book yet, but trust me, don't trust me, I'm getting to it.

    But seriously, this book is one I've been looking forward to as much as any other book. Bringing together so many big and fascinating voices in sports to "defend" against the hot takes Stugotz doles out is very entertaining. The best part of this book is that at least now some of these takes are on paper so Stugotz can't lie and say he never had that opinion.

    Congrats to Stu and Dan Stanczyk for an amazing book!

    I love the idea of re-thinking sports and having the difficult conversations. I know that Dan did the heavy lifting of trying to put Stu's thoughts on paper, so good job by him! Great gift/read for any sports fan as it touches on a number of different sports. The guest writing was also fantastic!

    Hot take - this book is great! I mean, I didn't actually read it yet, but reading it was never the point. The point was buying it and waiting to see if it would ever actually show up. I was shocked that it did. I was not shocked to see that Stugotz did not, in fact, "figure it out" and get signed books for the people who purchased before the incentive came out... lol

    I’m tellin ya, buddy this book looks great. They say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover but you should judge it, immediately. The verdict is in: winner. There’s credibility all over the cover; testimonials from Adam Schefter, Dianna Russini, DAN PATRICK! You will have a blast reading it, as will I.
