Big Show: Inside ESPN's Sportscenter
Sign in to keep track of books you’ve read and want to read.
For the first time, Keith Olbermann and Dan Patrick, the tag-team partners of ESPN's award-winning SportsCenter, bring what People magazine calls their "Letterman-like loopiness and Koppelesque smarts" to the printed page in The Big Show. The Big Show gives you the honest, horrifying, yet always entertaining story of two men, three cameras, and highlights run amok: that voodoo that Keith and Dan do to make The Big Show run slicker than Pat Riley's "do"; Keith's controversial list of should-be baseball Hall of Famers (100 of them, for Pete's sake); Dan and Keith's on-air flubs - errors that make even Bill Buckner's blunder seem minor; and Keith and Dan's complaints about sports idiocies - and each other!
