Muhammad Ali offered dazzling displays of lexical wizardry, and Allen Iverson's infamous \"practice\" rant shifted the post-game press conference from the banal to the absurd. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book is a celebration of these rare and exceptional moments. Various poetic forms and line-breaks highlight -- or, in the words of Deion Sanders, \"deem to set a candor on\" -- the sophisticated, sublime, and surprising performances of language made by professional athletes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Featherproof Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/17\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780983186342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Jeff Parker, Pasha Malla","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36646305005724,"sku":"9780983186342","price":12.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_5eda06ec-badf-4115-8e97-11b2a52580d9.jpg?v=1603863774","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/erratic-fire-erratic-passion-9780983186342","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
