Have a great time everyone.

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.
Sarah also blogs for BlogHer, DC Metro Moms, Draft Day Suit, Loser Moms, MamaPop and Sarah Reviews Stuff Here.
