How Tough Could It Be?: The Trials and Errors of a Sportswriter Turned Stay-at-Home Dad by Austin Murphy
Sportswriter Austin Murphy takes a shot at being a stay-at-home parent -- a stark contrast to his normal, travel-intensive existence. What he learns, the mistakes he makes, his male view on a traditionally female domain make this a funny, approachable and heartwarming story.

3829. The Sweet Season: A Sportswriter Rediscovers Football, Family, and a Bit of Faith at Minnesota's St. John's University, by Austin Murphy (read 29 Nov 2003) This is a 2001 book by a writer for Sports Illustrated on the 1999 football season at St. John's and on John Gagliardi, the winningest college football coach of all time (on the day I finished the book he won his 411th game, this year his team being undefeated and still in contention for the national title in its division). I think show more this is the first book about football I have ever read, and while it had flaws--we learned far more about the author's family than one would expect in a football book--overall the book is a winner and one can't help but feel good that such places as St. John's and such people as John Gagliardi exist. show less
