Roll With It

More than just a strange but true sports story, Roll With It is a love letter to Generation X. A time machine to the '90s, the memoir captures a snapshot of humanity's final Slacker-friendly years before a technological tidal wave would render things utterly unrecognizable. It's 1990, and Brad Porteus comes of age and chases his childhood dream of working in sports. Through an unlikely sequence of events, he gets drafted as General Manager of a professional roller hockey team in the up-start Roller Hockey International, completely out of his depth.
Flashbacks to road trips, dive bars, locker rooms, Dead shows, and blind dates celebrate the improvisational superpower an entire generation utilized to MacGyver our way through a world that transmogrified beneath our feet. But, it's cool. We rolled with it. Questionable choice for book club.
