From the moment he was born, Harmon Wages has been beating the odds, the scale of which would cause most to throw up their hands and quit. As a Gator at University of Florida, an Atlanta Falcon and an Emmy-nominated TV sportscaster, Wages cleared hurdle after hurdle in his personal quest for excellence. Harmon attributes so much of his life to experiences growing up in the small Jacksonville community of Pinegrove where his dad owned the local grocery store. As a high school quarterback in Jacksonville, one local columnist called him "the best running QB in Florida." Most of his time at University of Florida was in the shadows of Heisman Trophy Winner Steve Spurrier. When Spurrier graduated, a pre-season injury sidelined Wages for the most part and left him undrafted by the NFL. Always faith-based and undaunted, Wages showed up cold at the Atlanta Falcons' tryouts in 1968, won himself a spot, and proceeded to reap accolades and break records for six years until a knee injury sidelined him for good. While his debut as a TV sportscaster was just shy of abysmal, he eventually rose to become sports director and the top-rated sportscaster in Atlanta. At the height of his TV career, Wages was sent to federal prison for drug possession and still, at 76, feels some ramifications of what many say was a set-up. He semi-retired at age 54, lost his mother, entered a period of depression and turned to alcohol. "Rescued" by his 7th grade sweetheart, he hasn't touched a drop in years. This is the story of Harmon Wages, on the bench and off the bench, who saw problems as opportunities and repeatedly overcame obstacles. In his own words, his story is both inspiring and timeless.

A heartfelt account of the difficulties football players face after they leave the NFL. The NFL is the nation’s most popular sport, but the athletes who make the league rich suffer greatly once they step off the field. In When the Cheering Stops: Life after the NFL, players open up about the adversities they face after retirement. Long after the lights have dimmed on their playing days, NFL players face emotional distress, physical injuries, and cognitive decline, often suffering on their own. Personal interviews with former players reveal that many struggle with finances, finding a second career, addiction, depression, and violence. While success stories are also shared, the unfortunate truth is that there are far more players left hurt and broken after retirement. Written by former Tampa Bay Buccaneers president and founder of the Retired Player Assistance program Gay Culverhouse, this book provides a unique inside perspective on the NFL and the long-term physical and emotional toll playing in the league takes on the players who make it great.

Think you know Gators football? Think you have mad-trivia skills when it comes to Urban Meyer, Tim Tebow, or Brandon Spikes? Think you've got the Steve Spurrier, Danny Wuerffel, or Emmitt Smith questions in the bag? Think again. It's time to find out how smart you really are about the Gators. Are you a walk-on? A red-shirt freshman? Or are you a battle-tested senior, ready to make a run at a National Title? We'll let you know. The first Florida Football book to hit the shelves after Tim Tebow's senior year, Florida Gators IQ is more than just trivia. The first five chapters contain 250 questions in five categories: Becoming a National Power, The Individual Awards, The Positions, The Coaches, and Jersey Numbers and Walk-ons—250 questions that will challenge your competitive spirit while stirring your passion for Florida Football. That's because it's not just a list of clever questions—it's also a tribute to all those who have contributed to Florida Football and made it the great program it is today. You get the question, yes, but on every page of the book you'll read a story that will make you proud to wear the orange and blue. And that's not all—because you still have one final chapter that is dedicated solely to the defending National Champion and record setting Senior Class led by Tim Tebow and Brandon Spikes. The final chapter chronicles the Gators 2009 season from being ranked No. 1 in the preseason to the showdown with Cincinnati in the Sugar Bowl. Game-by-game, blow-by-blow, all the details, stats, quotes and reactions from coaches, players, and fans, are here—and it is a tribute to the greatest Senior Class in SEC history. And of course, there are another 50-plus questions about this beloved group of players. All total, six chapters, more than 300 questions—that's what you're up against, and we're keeping score. Are you up for the challenge? Test your skills. Wrack your brain. It's the ultimate Florida Gators IQ test!

Gatorade is an enthralling story, brought to life in bright color and sharp detail in this book as journalist and author Darren Rovell chronicles every astonishing milestone of the company’s history. With unprecedented access to the inventors, the marketers, the analysts and observers, and key company figures past and present, Rovell recounts the sweat-drenched University of Florida football practices, the first (unpalatable) prototypes, and the commercial and financial interest that quickly took hold following the drink’s first on-field successes. Then came the advertising, sponsorships, product placements (many of them fortuitous), and finally the two milestones that cemented Gatorade’s iconic status once and for all -- the ubiquitous Gatorade bath and the Michael Jordan "Be Like Mike" endorsement deal. With refreshing candor, First in Thirst also offers an inside look at all the aspects that went into building the brand, such as: negotiations, battles, lawsuits, mergers and acquisitions, product strategies, lucky breaks, and even the mishaps that have attended Gatorade’s reign as the 800-pound gorilla of the sports-drink scene. First in Thirst identifies the nine Gatorade Rules, business principles that have helped Gatorade become one of the most dominant brands ever. By adhering to these principles, businesses in other industries may achieve greater brand recognition and market share. Long before America knew what "deep-down body thirst" was, a team of university scientists had already invented something to quench it. This book is the story of the product and the company, and of America’s fascination with the one and only Gatorade.

This book offers a much-needed study of the Victorian novel's role in representing and shaping the service sector's emergence. Arguing that prior accounts of the novel's relation to the rise of finance have missed the emergence of a wider service sector, it traces the effects of service work's many forms and class positions in the Victorian novel.
