    Great read for Sports Fans....

    Just finished the new ESPN book "These Guys Have All The Fun". Excellent read for those who enjoy the Worldwide Leader (ESPN).

    This book covers the entire history of ESPN. From the 2 guys who dreamed the concept up, to todays anchors and execs. Its not a kiss-ass history of the network, either. There's lots of details about some of the dark and seedy things that have, and do, go on in Bristol, Conn still today.

    Only downside is that its 750 pages of fairly small type. I'm a pretty fast reader, and it still took me about a week of reading an hour or two at night to finish. But if you're into this type of stuff.....I would strongly recommend this one.

    Best-

    I've been meaning to order this book. I've read some really good excerpts. I don't think they pull any punches, that's for sure.
