See the personal chaos brought onto individual investors by Bernie Madoff, a popular and trusted investor from middle-class Queens, New York – and alleged Ponzi schemer – as experts dissect his $65 billion scam, from its humble beginnings to its stunning downfall, in RIPPED OFF: MADOFF AND THE SCAMMING OF AMERICA. With the help of expert commentary and firsthand accounts from Madoff’s victims, HISTORY™ compares and contrasts this most recent fraud with other Ponzi schemes throughout history, while exploring the economic and historical climates in which they appeared.

Wanna know the stories behind one of the greatest scams in American history? This will fill you in, disgust you and amaze you all in one story. A fascinating DVD. – on 205th magazine

Prize #2: A Few Seconds of Panic
List Price: $16.00

In his New York Times bestseller Word Freak, Stefan Fatsis infiltrated the insular world of competitive Scrabble players. With A FEW SECONDS OF PANIC: A 5-Foot-8, 170-Pound, 43-Year-Old Sportswriter Plays in the NFL, Fatsis raises the ante (and his risk of injury) by infiltrating a strikingly different subculture—the NFL. With unprecedented access to the Denver Broncos’ players, coaches, and facilities, Fatsis not only provides a fascinating inside-look at a storied sports franchise but also an insightful glimpse into the life of a professional athlete.

Not only does Stefan Fatsis live the dream of many NFL fans by having the opportunity to play with the Broncos, but he takes readers to the places usually forbidden to them: the locker room, the offices where key decisions are made, and into the minds of the players and coaches. A FEW SECONDS OF PANIC unveils the life of a modern pro athlete and the workings of the NFL as no book has before.

Boy, times sure have changed since George Plimpton played with the Lions over 45 years ago. This is a must-read for any football fan. – on 205th magazine
