The readers can't compensate for the unbearably pompous prose style of this extended parable about corporate politics and strategy.

An enjoyable history of the beginnings of an influential television network.
The sports network born in the late 1970s as a germ of an idea is now a juggernaut with multiple channels and platforms. ESPN founder Rasmussen details the process and sometimes bumpy steps along the way to creating this sports mecca on the airwaves. Narrator Will Damron makes sure that the personalities of each of the many individuals involved come across through his subtle intonations. Chris Berman narrates his foreword, and snippets of recorded interviews with people close to the genesis of the network, including Bob Ley, Mary Walton, and others, are dropped in. Chapters end with business advice from Rasmussen.
