EW's GRADE

In Let's Go to the Videotape! All the Plays—and Replays—from My Life in Sports, the veteran TV score giver and Imus in the Morning semi-regular Warner Wolf weighs in on topics ranging from jock-talk cliches (''When did 110 percent become the standard?'') to the best ballpark peanuts (the brown bags sold outside Washington, D.C.'s old Griffith Stadium by a one-eyed Filipino vendor). The chapters feel choppy — Wolf packs 112 of 'em into 302 pages — and there's plenty of filler, like his speculation about the tollbooth habits of NBA stars (''Do you think Shaq just drops his money...or does he slam it?'').
