Those Guys Have All The Fun

Inside the World of ESPN
James Andrew Miller & Tom Shales - 2011 Little, Brown & Company

 I resisted reading this book for a while, but I'm glad that I finally did (at the "gentle" encouragement of others).  It's fun, it's enjoyable, and it's informative about a major player in the world of professional sports.

The structure is a little different, as the chapters are set up by specific time frames and the content consists mainly of excerpts from the innumerable interviews Miller and Shales conducted, with only smalls transitions by the authors here and there.  Some of these transitions are rather abrupt and there are times when it feels like some topics do not flow into the next as seamlessly as they should.

Overall, "Those guys have all the fun" is well worth the read, especially when there are differing accounts from individuals on the same subject.
