Product Description
The history of the National Football League may best be told through the exploits of its most popular players: the quarterbacks. Sports Illustrated senior writer Peter King chronicles the careers of the greatest at the position, from Sammy Baugh, Sid Luckman, and Norm Van Brocklin through Johnny Unitas, Joe Namath, and Terry Bradshaw, and up to the stars of today. Beginning with a chapter on the top 10 "elite," King goes on to discuss the top 50 quarterbacks in NFL history. He also gives special notice to "situational specialists," those with the strongest arms or the best in the clutch, the most underrated players, and the stars of the future. Greatest Quarterbacks is as much a portrait of charismatic leaders as it is of brilliant football players. ... Read more

A brilliant book by America's top football writer
Do you know who Rudy Bukich is?If so, you're the type of hard-core football fan who will love Peter King's Greatest Quarterbacks.If you're a football fan and the name of Mr. Bukich doesn't ring a bell, you'll learn a lot from this excellent book.

Sports Illustrated's Peter King is (in my humble opinion) tied with his colleague Paul Zimmerman for the title of America's No. 1 football writer.King provides a historical perspective that allows a comparison of great old-timers like Otto Graham and Sammy Baugh with today's stars like Brett Favre and Troy Aikman.King ranks the Top 50 quarterbacks in the history of the game and offers clear explanations for his selections.

I would also be remiss if I didn't mention the wealth of photographs provided in this book, which makes it a great gift idea for children who might not read the whole thing now but will surely treasure it for years to come.(I might just get an extra copy for my nephew.)

No football fan's bookshelf is complete without Peter King's Greatest Quarterbacks, the best football book to come along in years.As for the identity of Mr. Bukich, I wouldn't dream of giving it away here.You'll just have to buy the book. ... Read more

Product Description
This Industry Risk Ratings report from IBISWorld evaluates the inherent risks associated with the Racing & Individual Sports in the US industry. Industry Risk is assumed to be 'the difficulty, or otherwise, of the business operating environment'.

The report looks at the operational risk associated with this industry. Three types of risk are recognized in our analysis. These are: risk arising from within the industry itself (structural risk), risks arising from the expected future performance of the industry (growth risk) and risk arising from forces external to the industry (external sensitivity risk).

This approach is new in that it analyses non-financial information surrounding each industry. Industries are scored on a 9-point scale, where 1 represents the lowest risk and 9 the highest. The Industry Risk score measures expected Industry Risk over the coming 12-18 months.

Industry Definition

This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in operating racetracks; owners of racing participants such as cars, horses or dogs; independent athletes such as boxers, golfers or race-car drivers that participate in live sporting events before a paying audience; and businesses such as sports trainers that provide specialized services required to support participants in sporting events or competitions.

Risk Overview

The Risk Overview chapter includes sections on Industry Definition and Activities, Industry Risk Score and Risk Rating Analysis.The Industry Definition and Activities section provides a detailed definition of the activities carried out by operators in this industry as defined in NAICS.A list of the primary activities of the industry is also included. The Industry Risk Score section provides the Overall Industry Risk Score as well as the Risk Scores for each of the three types of risk covered that combine to form the Overall Industry Risk Score. These three types of risk are Structural Risk, Growth Risk and External Sensitivity Risk. The Risk Rating Analysis section discusses the underlying factors contributing to the Overall Industry Risk Score.

Structural Risk

The Structural Risk chapter looks at risk arising from within the industry itself and provides a detailed discussion of the industrys level of exposure to seven key indicators.These key indicators are Barriers to Entry, Competition, Industry Exports, Industry Imports, Level of Assistance, Life Cycle Stage and Volatility of Industry.The Overall Structural Risk Score is a weighted aggregation of these seven key indicators.Each of the key indicators is discussed in detail in this section.

Growth Risk

The Growth Risk chapter looks at risks arising from the expected future performance of the industry. The Overall Growth Risk Score is determined by amalgamating the scores for Recent Industry Growth and Forecast Industry Growth. Detailed analysis is provided discussing the reasons for the growth scores of both.

Sensitivity Risk

The Sensitivity Risk chapter looks at risks arising from forces (sensitivities) external to the industry. The Overall External Sensitivity Risk Score is determined by identifying the most significant (up to 6) external factors and weighting them to represent how significant each sensitivity is to the performance of the industry.Examples of External Sensitivities are Exchange Rates, Interest Rates, Commodity Prices and Government Regulations. There is also a detailed analysis of the affect each of the sensitivities has on the industry, including charts and data tables where appropriate.

Industry Risk and Industry Risk Scoring Methodology

A MUST FOR ALL TIGER FANS
THIS BOOK IS ABOUT THE ALL-TIME TIGERS TEAM, POSITION BY POSITION. I REALLY ENJOYED READING ABOUT GREATS LIKE PRINCE HAL, KALINE, GIBSON, GREENBERG, LOLICH, COBB, CASH AND MANY MORE. THERE ARE SOME GREAT PHOTOS AND ALOT OF NOSTALGIA. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS FOR THE TRUE BASEBALL FANS WHO REALLY HAVE FOLLOWED BASBALL OVER THE YEARS. THESE TIGERS COVERED IN THIS BOOK EARNED THEIR STRIPES, INDEED. SOME GREAT GREAT MOMENTS RELIVED IN THIS BOOK.

They Definitely Earned Their Stripes
This is a very good book about all of the great Tiger players. They name their all-time team and have stories about some of their great pitchers. Several of their great managers are also included. McLain, Lolich, Newhouser, and Trout are some of their better-known pitchers.

Simply sensational!
Our national pastime is the one constant reminder that everyone kid can grow up to play in the major leagues. I have been a long time Philadelphia Phillies fan and as such seldom read books about other ball clubs. Afterfinishing this book I will have to rethink that policy as the DetroitTigers are one of the most storied franchises in baseballhistory.

Starting off with the greatest ballplayer to ever put on spikes,Ty Cobb, the book begins to tell more than a story about the Tigers butalso about the fans in Detroit. Men like Charlie Gehringer, SparkyAnderson, Hank Greenberg, and Al Kaline, Alan Trammel ands many others areall in the true baseball fans collector book.

The book had Kirk Gibson inthe outfield over the great Harry Heilmann and while I wouldn't have madethat choice the writers do make a fairly convincing argument for theselection. I enjoyed the inside look into Al Kaline and his oftentumultuous relationship with the people of Detroit.

Finally the book ismore that the best Tigers it also includes the near misses, the ones thatshould be there as well and even the weird and funny characters of theteams. Overall a great book for those interested in the game as well as the"true" Tiger fan. ... Read more

From the supplier: A study was based on the premise that total scores from a rating scale should not be directly used. Several alternatives were introduced for rating scale analysis. Results showed that the total scores from a rating scale could be deceptive, proving that the direct use of such scores should not be done. This is because a rating scale is an ordinal scale with non-additive responses. Observed scores should either be transformed to interval-scale or ratio-scale scores or analyzed using order statistics before any analysis is conducted.
