About the Book

The agents and handlers have left the building, and Dave Hollander is in the house, taking on the country's top athletes in no-holdsbarred interviews for the underground sports paper, "New York Sports Express. Here are uncensored, off-the-cuff looks at the world of sport from current and former players like Jeremy Shockey, Dwight Gooden, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Vince Carter. It's a must-read for any sports fan. In his weekly column, "Open Mic," Hollander rarely treads the well-beaten sports path, instead leading his subjects into candid assessments of competitors and excursions into offbeat topics. Hollander talks with running back Dave Kopay about coming out of the closet, argues about Alaska and Hooters with NFLer Larry Csonka, discusses the finer points of head-butts with New York Knick John Starks, muses on jail with Lawrence Taylor, and commiserates with Keith Hernandez regarding the retirement of Eugene Maleska from the world of crossword puzzles. And there are also interviews with Jim Brown, Jim Bouton, Rickey Henderson, George Plimpton, Oscar Robertson, Mark Gastineau, Sarah Hughes, Larry Holmes, Carl Lewis, Petr Nedved, and more. Human and revealing, hilarious and heartfelt, Hollander's interviews are part Charlie Rose, part Jon Stewart, and a refreshing break from the pat sports cliche. 52 Weeks is fifty-two chapters of off-the-hook fun for the sports fan.

Review :
"Dave Hollander doesn't just interview sports figures. He has conversations with them that are so natural, you feel as if you're sitting around a kitchen table, talking sports and life with some of the most intriguing people. With his smart, and sometimes irreverent approach, Dave offers the thinking athlete room to think."--"Selena Roberts, ""New York Times" "Dave Hollander's 52 WEEKS is a one of a kind--52 interviews with past and present sports figures--containing questions and answers that will evoke an "OOOH and AAAHH" from every sports fan--an insightful, feel good book."--Bill Bradley "A home run! Dave Hollander can touch 'em all. 52 WEEKS is a book a you will not be able to put down. In fact you'll probably read it in one day... An incredibly fun must-read."--Steve Somers, WFAN Radio "Dave Hollander drops Rilke, Lysistrata, and the Chinese Zodiac into a sports interview as seamlessly as questions about the lack of fundamentals in the NBA, the designated hitter, or the NFL salary cap. It all works because it's undergirded by Hollander's solid bedrock of sports knowledge, and the interviews are with legends...A rip-roaring read, full of laugh-out-loud moments. Don't miss it."--John Bolster, "Penthouse" Magazine "Dave [Hollander] has the unique ability to make even the most cliche-ridden interview a must-read...No matter if he's speaking with Lawrence Taylor about his favorite New Jersey diner or discussing how the Sistine Chapel compares with a now-forgotten mural of Dwight Gooden, Dave is able to paint a portrait of these athletic legends that is far more robust and life-like than anything they accomplished on the field of play."--Paul Forrester,""SportsIllustrated.com"" "52 WEEKS gives you the good, the bad and the ugly. Mix 'em all together and you got yourself one helluva fun book with lots of great laughs. I loved it!"--Bum Phillips "Dave Hollander gets my respect--a great writer who understands the game of basketball and the game of life very, very well." --Michael Ray Richardson
