Books: Tiki: My Life in the Game and Beyond

SARAH at Sarah and the Goon Squad wrote a book review of Tiki: My Life in the Game and Beyond by Tiki Barber.

I asked Sarah to read Tiki's book because she's a raging football fan (her words), a fan of Tiki and his identical twin brother, Ronde, and she's the mother of 4-year-old twins, the Goon Squad. We met when we were both pregnant with our twins. Mine were actually due after hers were, but they were born earlier. The Goon Squad was born two weeks later.

Olympian with 1-year-old twins juggles hurdles and motherhood

MOTHER of twins and silver medalist hurdler LaShinda Demus prepares for the Beijing Olympics by tag-teaming with her husband. Her sons, Dontay and Duaine, were born in June 2007, and she started running three months later. Trials for track and field are coming the end of this month.

We wish her all the best!

Mummy, your bum definitely looks big in that

LOOK up fat in the dictionary. Does it say "ugly"? does it say, "lazy"? Hell, does it say "stupid" or "criminal?"

Of course it doesn't. So why do we have to all be so cruel to people who are overweight or obese, children included?

It could have been much, much worse

This has made news around the world. It has made me laugh, and not just for the imaginative title of the duo. Still, the fans could count themselves lucky that they never ended up with these equally impressively named singers, or even these.
