ESPN has been around as long as I can remember and after my brother, ESPN: the magazine and Bill Simmons is a big part of why I'm interested in following sports. I really enjoyed reading about how the network grew over time and about the random things that led people to play a part in its growth. I liked how the author had the people involved tell the story, rather than summarizing it in prose himself, and that he included both (or multiple sides) of a story on occasion.
