New Book: Those Guys Have All the Fun: Inside the World of ESPN by James Andrew Miller and Tom Shales

A couple weeks ago, I finished reading The Last Testament:  A Memoir by God by David Javerbaum, and it was hilarious.  Javerbaum used to be the head writer for the Daily Show.  The book is a retelling of the Old  Testament, New Testament, and Koran by God, clarifying what he meant by certain things and providing background for many of the stories.  There are also some random interlude chapters where God dishes on his favorite celebrities, sports teams, and reasons he does certain things.  I'd call it a must read for any Christian, Jew, Muslim, or Athiest.

Since then, I have started reading Those Guys Have All the Fun: Inside the World of ESPN by James Andrew Miller and Tom Shales at the behest of a friend of my named H Daaaaaawwwwwwwg.  As the title implies, it's about the history of ESPN.  It's mostly told from the first-person perspective of the many people who have worked at ESPN over the years.  It's a massive book.  I'm only to about 1985, and I'm well over 100 pages in.  It will be interesting to see what they have to say about Tirico and his groping.
