Sports, politics, and sex collide in Hunter S. Thompson's wildly popular ESPN.com columns. From the author of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and father of "Gonzo" journalism comes Hey Rube.

Insightful, incendiary, outrageously brilliant, such was the man who galvanized American journalism with his radical ideas and gonzo tactics. For over half a century, Hunter S. Thompson devastated his readers with his acerbic wit and uncanny grasp of politics and history. His reign as The Unabomber of contemporary letters (Time) is more legendary than ever with Hey Rube. Fear, greed, and action abound in this hilarious, thought-provoking compilation as Thompson doles out searing indictments and uproarious rants while providing commentary on politics, sex, and sports--at times all in the same column.

With an enlightening foreword by ESPN executive editor John Walsh, critics' favorites, and never-before-published columns, Hey Rube follows Thompson through the beginning of the new century, revealing his queasiness over the 2000 election (rigged and fixed from the start); his take on professional sports (to improve Major League Baseball eliminate the pitcher); and his myriad controversial opinions and brutally honest observations on issues plaguing America―including the Bush administration and the inequities within the American judicial system.

Hey Rube gives us a lasting look at the gonzo journalist in his most organic form―unbridled, astute, and irreverent.

Cheap and delicious water.
Size: 16.9 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
Delicious! I can't stand some bottled water like Dasani, but once I got it ice cold, it's really nice. Bottles arrived in perfect condition with no leaking.

Crisp, Refreshing, and a Family Favorite
Flavor Name: Kiwi Strawberry, Size: 16.9 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
Propel Kiwi Strawberry is one of our favorites. It’s crisp, refreshing, and has just the right amount of flavor without being overpowering. The kiwi strawberry taste is especially enjoyable and makes it easy to drink throughout the day. We also like that it’s zero calorie and includes electrolytes and vitamins, making it a great option for staying hydrated during workouts or busy days. Overall, a consistently refreshing drink that we always keep stocked in the house.

Excellent product. But I thought they were expensive.
Flavor Name: Kiwi Strawberry, Size: 16.9 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
This is a great product, great ingredients, excellent taste, sugar-free. My friend a actually came over and I think he drink most of them or took them home to his wife. Didn't last long and I thought they were pricey.
