Scoreboard, Baby: A Story of College Football, Crime, and Complicity









The adjectives associated with the University of Washington s 2000 football seasonÂÂâ€"mystical, magical, miraculousÂÂâ€"changed when Ken Armstrong and Nick Perry s four-part exposÃÆ'© of the 2000 Huskies hit the newspaper stands: “explosive . . . chilling (Sports Illustrated), “blistering (Baltimore Sun), “shocking . . . appalling (Tacoma News Tribune), “astounding (ESPN), “jaw-dropping (Orlando Sentinel).
 
Now, in Scoreboard, Baby, Armstrong and Perry go behind the scenes of the Huskies Cinderella story to reveal a timeless morality tale about the price of obsession, the creep of fanaticism, and the ways in which a community can lose even when its team wins. The authors unearth the true story from firsthand interviews and thousands of pages of documents: the forensic report on a bloody fingerprint; the notes of a detective investigating allegations of rape; confidential memoranda of prosecutors; and the criminal records of the dozen-plus players arrested that year with scant mention in the newspapers and minimal consequences in the courts. The statement of a judge, sentencing one player to thirty days in jail, says it all: “to be served after football season.
 
Read additional praise.
