Deford is witty as ever in this compilation of sports commentary. Spanning a period of time in his career, the commentary not only gives a look into Deford's own views, but also at the sporting landscape of the time. Not a sport is missed (not even bowling) and it includes longer pieces on such prolific sports icons as Wilt Chamberlein and Bobby Knight. Anyone who has ever watched a minute of sports on television or listened on the radio would not be able to put this book down.
Greatest sports writer of all time. Bobby Knight feature is outstanding.
#36 for 2008.
