SOMETIMES YOU JUST WANT TO RELAX WITH YOUR BEST FRIEND. But the universe has other plans. ----------------------------------------------- In the hilarious follow-up to VEGAN TEENAGE ZOMBIE HUNTRESS, we meet Joe and Mike, two other kids from Redvale High, the dudes who used to steal brownies from Clarissa’s anti-prom table. Joe and Mike are staying in on prom night, with the intent of celebrating the end of high school, except Joe feels bad after a run-in with one of Dad’s friends, who reminds him that his high school career was a waste and he might be a loser. Then, he and Mike end up having to babysit little sister Ruby, a three-year-old wild child and escape artist. So much for partying. When Ruby ends up back upstairs with Mom, Joe and Mike finally celebrate with the aid of some special brownies. Except they don’t make Joe feel any better. He only feels worse—much worse. Completely sick and baked out of his mind, he crawls upstairs to tell his parents he’s sorry for getting bad grades at school, except...everyone at home has gone zombie, and Ruby has escaped again. Will Joe and Mike save Ruby from the dark, zombie-laced woods? And will they cross paths with Clarissa, Lila, Jaime, and a mysterious Ghost Samurai on the way?

Who are the best quarterbacks in NFL history? How about running backs? Wide receivers? How can we objectively rate the performance of individual defensive players? And how can we make reasonable judgments about players at different positions and from different eras? Who is the greatest football player of all time? Jerry Rice? Lawrence Taylor? Jim Brown?Such are the questions pondered by pro football writer Steve Silverman late at night (and during the day). As statistician Elliott Kalb did with baseball, basketball, and golf, Silverman now takes the next step with Who’s Better, Who’s Best in Football?. Taking the analytical methods he developed over his years as a senior editor at Pro Football Weekly, he applies them to an evaluation of players going back to the earliest days of the NFL. The result is a fascinating ranking of the best of the gridiron, from legendary old-timers like Dick Butkus to present-day superstars like Peyton Manning.Throughout, Silverman discusses the many considerations that must be made when comparing modern players with players of past eras and players at different positions. Including biographical essays on those top 65 players and detailed statistics for their playing careers, Who’s Better, Who’s Best in Football? is a must-have for anyone who considers football to be more than just a game.Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Sports Publishing imprint, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in sports—books about baseball, pro football, college football, pro and college basketball, hockey, or soccer, we have a book about your sport or your team.Whether you are a New York Yankees fan or hail from Red Sox nation; whether you are a die-hard Green Bay Packers or Dallas Cowboys fan; whether you root for the Kentucky Wildcats, Louisville Cardinals, UCLA Bruins, or Kansas Jayhawks; whether you route for the Boston Bruins, Toronto Maple Leafs, Montreal Canadiens, or Los Angeles Kings; we have a book for you.
