Did a search, nothing came up. Anyone pick this up and have thoughts on it? Reviews on Amazon seem pretty high. FWIW, I enjoyed Moneyball.

I also would like to know as I enjoyed both "Liar's Poker" and "Moneyball"

I saw it at Borders the other day and almost jumped to buy it, but my shopping bag was already full

I've heard good things has anyone actually read it?

Not too much help, but I think he was on either the Daily Show or the Colbert Report in the last couple weeks. I liked Moneyball but this one didn't sound like something I'd enjoy as much.

I'm pretty sure that the Sports Guy said a couple of weeks back that it was a great book, but I could be mistaken.

The life and recruitment of Michael Oher (Left Tackle for Ole Miss). 6'6" 330+ lb African American kid from the worst part of Memphis that had an unbelievably bad childhood but gets adopted by Sean Touhy (Rich white guy that was point gaurd at Ole Miss) and family. It is supposed to be very good.
