I liked the business aspects of it. It wasnt as salacious as promised, which is fine. There are some serious egos involved with this company (shocking). I think Steve Bornstein and Chris Berman need to be shot. Erin Andrews (and the authors) have a much higher opinion of her own worth than is accurate. Shapiro was actually pretty entertaining. As was the guy at the beginning who worked for Getty whose name escapes me.

Overall a decent book. Doesnt seem movie-worthy though.

watching the last olbermann show was strong reinforcement that i wasnt missing much by never watching this

two weeks pass...

It was also nice to see I was not the only person who was really sad when NFL Primetime went away.

I'm still upset by this, lol. When did that show go away, 2000? I never warmed up to the NFL Network show due to Deon Sanders/Warren Sapp/Michael Irvin sidekicks. I always liked Tom Jackson in that role.
