He was fed up with self-righteous proclamations, steroid scandals, and the deluge of in-your-face PR that saturated the NFL, the NBA, and MLB. Then in 2006, he moved to London and discovered a new and baffling world—the renowned Premiership soccer league. Culpepper pledged his loyalty to Portsmouth, a gutsy, small-market team at the bottom of the standings. As he puts it, “It was like childhood, with beer.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWriting in the vein of perennial bestsellers such as \u003ci\u003eFever Pitch\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAmong the Thugs\u003c\/i\u003e, Chuck Culpepper brings penetrating insight to the vibrant landscape of English soccer—visiting such storied franchises as Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool . . . and an equally celebrated assortment of pubs. \u003ci\u003eBloody Confused!\u003c\/i\u003e will put a smile on the face of any sports fan who has ever questioned what makes us love sports in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eCHUCK CULPEPPER writes for the \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e and has written for \u003ci\u003eNewsday\u003c\/i\u003e and ESPN Books, among other publications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46554710638753,"sku":"BBSNIJ9780767928083","price":24.69,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9780767928083.jpg?v=1781775504","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/bloody-confused-paperback-by-chuck-culpepper","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
