When the New York Giants won the superbowl in 2008, the miraculous game spawned a book about the game-winning catch, the game-winning coach, and the game-winning quarterback. Now literary bloggers are betting on which Pittsburgh Steelers players will land the next book deals.
Over at Slushpile.net, author Thomas Scott McKenzie is putting his money down on wide receiver Santonio Holmes. Here’s his game-winning pitch for the next Superbowl book:
“His game-winning touchdown catch with seconds left in the game is being called one of the great plays in the history of the Super Bowl. Holmes has been making the rounds of the talkshows and press ops after the game. Earlier in Super Bowl week, Holmes admitted that he sold drugs as a youth in south Florida. So it’s a safe bet he’ll sign a book about his troubled years and how he ended up as a Super Bowl MVP.”
