"Huh-huh. Funny." If you're familiar with the writings of Christopher Wilson, you have, no doubt, elicited a similar response. If you've never had the pleasure of reading Wilson, then you are "fickinta" be in for a treat. Sports Briefs is a collection of Wilson's 68 best columns from FanStop.com . You'll revisit Wilson's problems he had keeping his football pants up ("The camera would then focus on me running to the sidelines, never letting go of my belt, to where I found a peaceful spot beside the water cooler where I could sip and pull, simultaneously."), along with hearing J.R. Rider tell the Thanksgiving story, in a way only "Uncle" J.R. can ("I say uncle, but sum of ya'll could prolly call me Daddy."). The initial column from the highly-praised "Suzy, Jaws and Merril" series is included, as well as the moving account of the last days Wilson's father spent in Hospice battling cancer. Wilson's unique style of humor, sarcasm and storytelling is evident throughout, sure to draw numerous "guffaws." For those who try on a new pair every week, or for those who have never worn them before, try on a pair of Sports Briefs today.
