The Big Show

Keith Olbermann

From World Sports Headquarters in historic Bristol, Connecticut, comes the book that's more colorful than Dennis Rodman's hair. Keith Olbermann and Dan Patrick, the former tag-team partners of ESPN's award winning SportsCenter, mark for the ages their most unforgettable moments, which have transformed the art of sports broadcasting-- bringing what People magazine calls their "Letterman-like loopiness and Koppelesque smarts" to the printed page in "The Big Show"

Less expensive (and easier to read) than a big-leaguer's autograph, "The Big Show" gives you the honest, horrifying, yet always entertaining story of two men, three cameras, and highlights run amok, including:

How Keith and Dan made "The Big Show" run slicker than Pat Riley's hair

The origins of Dan and Keith's patented phrases

Keith and Dan's on-air flubs-- errors that made Bill Buckner's blunder seem minor

Dan and Keith's pantheon of all-time greatest athletes (Okay, who picked Coach Reeves from The White Shadow?)

And so much more we couldn't-- and wouldn't dare-- mention here!

About the Author

Keith Olbermann was rescued from a sinking barge, and raised by wild ocelots in the Brazilian rain forest. Years later, he was found by a touring band of would-be soccer play-by-play announcers and brought back to civilization (well, Bristol).
