Jeanette Lee (legendary billards champion) & author Chris Raymond

Chris Raymond, author of Men In White--The Gutsy, Against-All-Odds Return of Penn State Football, shares the story of the young athletes who defied all odds and rescued Penn State's football program in the aftermath of the Jerry Sandusky scandal. On November 5, 2011, news came out that Sandusky--a longtime assistant football coach at Penn State--had been charged with several dozen counts of child molestation, rocking the university including unseating Penn State's president, athletic director, and Coach Joe Paterno, as well as casting the future of Penn State football in serious jeopardy. The book recounts the saga of the student athletes who elected to stay and rebuild the program in the years that followed. It's a football book but also contains storylines beyond the field itself and themes of perseverance, sacrifice, and leadership. Jeanette Lee also joins the show today! Aka "The Black Widow," Lee achieved legendary billiards status when she became the top-ranked female pool player in the world in the 1990s, winning over 30 national and international titles. Lee typically dressed in black from head-to-toe as she racked up win after win and was later featured in an ESPN 30-for-30 documentary. Her new book Black Widow: A Memoir takes a look at her career, lifelong struggle with scoliosis, her Stage 4 cancer, and her faith in the Lord. You can find out more at www.caromsports.com.
