Life Its Ownself

Description

After a knee injury ends Billy Clyde Puckett’s football career, he reinvents himself as a network television sports commentator, carrying his larger-than-life personality into a new arena. Accompanied by his wife, the former Barbara Jane Bookman, and his old friend Shake Tiller, Billy looks back on a lifetime shaped by competition, camaraderie, and the colorful characters of the sporting world. Both hilarious and sentimental, this cantankerous memoir offers an affectionate, irreverent portrait of sports—and of the friendships and experiences that endure long after the final whistle.
