| Description: |
Drawing upon more than 500 interviews with the greatest names in ESPN's history, bestselling authors Miller and Shales take readers behind the cameras. The men and women who made ESPN great reveal the secrets behind its success--as well as the many scandals, rivalries, off-screen battles and triumphs that have accompanied that ascent. |
| Synopsis: |
ESPN began as an outrageous gamble with a lineup that included Australian Rules Football, rodeo, and a rinky-dinky clip show called Sports Center. Today the empire stretches far beyond television into radio, magazines, mobile phones,the internet, video games and more, while ESPN's personalities have become global superstars to rival the sports icons they cover. Chris Berman, Robin Roberts, Keith Olbermann, Hannah Storm, Bill Simmons, Tony Kornheiser, Stuart Scott, Erin Andrews, Mike Ditka, Bob Knight, and scores of others speak openly about the games, shows, scandals, gambling addictions, bitter rivalries, and sudden suspensions that make up the network's soaring and stormy history. The result is a wild, smart, effervescent story of triumph, genius, ego, and the rise of an empire unlike any television had ever seen. |
