The Big Show: A Tribute To Espn's Sportscenter

The former tag-team partners of ESPN's award-winning "SportsCenter" shares with readers a controversial list of should-be Baseball Hall of Famers; the pantheon of all-time greatest athletes; the dirt on each other; what superstars and the press really think about them; and much more in this eye-opening look behind the scenes at ESPN.

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 blunderseem 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
