About me

Location Brooklyn, New York
Introduction I'm the author of Bigger Than the Game: Bo, Boz, the Punky QB, and How the '80s Created the Modern Athlete, published by Penguin's Gotham Books. My previous book, The Kings of New York (which was called Game of Kings in paperback, won a Quill Award as the Best Sports Book of 2007, and was named one of Amazon's top books of the year), was a chronicle of a quirky Brooklyn high-school chess team. I've contributed to ESPN.com, SI.com, GQ, The New York Times, and others, and am currently a writer for Grantland.com. E-Mail: mweinreb (at) att (dot) net
