Summary: You can't stop Dan & Keith,you can only hope to contain 'em!
Comment: Fans of Sportscenter are going to love this book - Dan and Keith, the way they were. All of the wit, sarcasm, and intelligence we came to know and love from the guys who really put Sportscenter on the map. A must read for any sports fan, really. En Fuego!

Summary: Read The Book!
Comment: Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann have written a gem. The average viewer doesn't understand what really goes on in making and producing a Sportscenter, but if you read this book you will. I have a much greater appreciation for broadcasters and I recommend this book to any sports fan. Not only is it informative but it is hilarious. It is a barrel of laughs and it's fun for all ages. If you like this book you might want to read ESPN:The Uncensored History by Michael Freeman.

Summary: This isn't just a sports book
Comment: I bought this book because I admired Olbermann on MSNBC, and wanted to read more about his "previous life". I'm not a big sports fan - god knows I know nothing about players, stats and games - but this book is so much more than that.
This book is about the broadcasting business, and is a must read for wannabe sportscasters. It's a timeline of Dan Patrick and Olbermann's careers - with all the horror stories that go with being successful in the business.
This is a book about sports. They both tell stories of their favorite "watched" games, as well as their favorite players, favorite highlights and insights. They talk about Pete Rose. Keith lists the 100 players that should be in the Baseball Hall of Fame (and with his historical knowledge, it could be a well-attended college course).
This is a book of memories. There is a wonderful, heartfelt tribute to Tom Mees, one of the original ESPN sportscasters, that is worth the price of the book by itself.
The audio version is excellent as well - read by the authors with the same delivery they used on Sportscenter.
Don't dismiss this book as "just a book about sports". It isn't.
This is a book about life.
It's a damn fine piece of work.
