Well the year isn’t over, but is it ever too early for a “best of” show? From zombies to plumbers, fight songs to fighting for a purpose, Only A Game has compiled some of the year’s best for this week’s show.

This week on Only A Game, the sound of Arizona pinching itself as the Cardinals prepare for Super Bowl XLIII. Also, Trinity College squash tries to extend its title run to an astonishing eleven straight, and Sports Illustrated’s L. Jon Wertheim on the rise of Mixed Martial Arts.

Bill Littlefied visited with the Trinity College squash team – a team that hasn’t lost since 1997. Bill brought his camera to share some of the scenes from the Bantams match against Yale.

“Squash: a History of the Game,” a new book by James Zug, includes tales of the sport’s worthies and also its mutts and rebels.
