We are living in the Wild West of college sports. Name, Image and Likeness endorsements, the transfer portal, collectives, conference realignment, the powerful influence of media companies have all rendered the notion of amateur athletics a quaint relic of the past, replaced by a Brave New World where money and self-interest rule. The Price is a sweeping, in-depth, thought-provoking look at an inflection point in big-time college football.

В 1996 году журналист и телеведущий Вадим Верник снял документальный фильм о Майе Плисецкой Майя. Урок классического танца (в телевизионном цикле "Субботний вечер со звездой"). Съемки проходили в небольшом финском городе Миккели, и на протяжении пяти дней Вернику посчастливилось много общаться с великой балериной. А спустя годы появилась идея на основании этих бесед сделать книгу, тем более, что большинство материалов не вошли в фильм из-за ограниченного хронометража. Эта книга — попытка автора показать Майю Плисецкую «своими глазами», нарисовать портрет без позирования и всевозможных мифов вокруг ее имени.

Is your pain telling you something? Do you listen to it or try to drown it out? What if your discomfort inspired you to push beyond, but you chose to avoid being uncomfortable? This is a story of pain, discomfort, fear and rejection and how an action man learns to embrace and listen to his spirit. In Search of Marvellousness is a story where everything happens at once and time is fluid, not unlike Kurt Vonnegut’s “Slaughterhouse-Five”, but without the extraterrestrials. It’s a tale of a life filled with adventure and travel like Roald Dahl’s “Going Solo” but without a war.

For those of us born at a time when our formative years saw the end of a dynasty and ushered in over two decades of agonizing mediocrity, we are among the most devoted of all Packer fans.

Emslie endured the rough-and-tumble umpire-baiting 1890s, the Deadball era, injuries from thrown and batted balls, physical and verbal assaults from players and fans, and criticism in the press.
