What The Reviewers Say
Ebersol refuses to provide any real insight about the bigwigs he's befriended. Controversial figures like Daniel Stern, Don Ohlmeyer, Jeff Zucker and Robert Kraft all come across like saints. Michael Phelps gets so much love you'll want to give him another gold medal. The only darts he throws are at NBCUniversal chairman Steve Burke, who nudged Ebersol out of his lofty position — and the tips are pretty dull.
... thoroughly entertaining.
The author entertainingly recounts inside stories about working in this fast-paced environment, especially as the business of televising live sporting events was rapidly building into a lucrative, global enterprise.
