With the holidays just around the corner (yep, already), we thought you could use some help with gift ideas for the sporting fan in your life. Check out our full guide with all our gift ideas for sports fans.
Product: "The Enlightened Bracketologist: The Final Four Of Everything"
What It Is: "The Enlightened Bracketologist" is a book that takes all that the world and life has to offer and puts it into a bracket system. Building on the March Madness fervor that occurs every March, "The Enlightened Bracketologist" simplifies, or rather condenses, life and history into one big sports metaphor.
Why It's A Great Gift: There's a supposed disconnect between the average sports fan and an intellectual conversation. This book proves that sports can be a highly intelligent way to discuss the important topics of life or the most trivial (looking at you, pop culture). As the product description on Amazon.com states:
Reveal what is truly the best in its class: La Tache or Chateau Latour? (1) Barry Bonds or Terrell Owens? (2) "Vissi d'arte" or "Dove Sono"? (3) OJ verdict or JFK assassination? (4) "Top of the world, Ma" or "Nobody's perfect"? (5) Two by two, The Enlightened Bracketologist pits our cultural mainstays against each other; only the finest survive.
Price: $11.48 to $15.95
Where You Can Buy It: Online at Borders, Barnes and Noble, on Barnes and Noble NOOK store.
