Mike Golic

You do not have to listen to the radio show to like this book. George Will writes a very funny introduction that sets the tone for the book. You learn the history of the morning radio team, their opinions on certain rules in various sports. There are also "chime in"s from show regular's such as Bob Picozzi, Mike Ditka, Jaws, Buster Olney, Stink. Their are reprinted e-mails from fans who commented on a show topic and photographs. Lot's of photographs. This book is the radio version of tv if one did not have a tv set to watch it. The photographs could have gotten out of hand but the way they intersect with the text makes it worth it.

The surprise for me was when the subject of basketball was approached. There is a reprint of a an on air comment from former player Tim Legler and a mini essay by Mike Goldberg on Dennis Johnson that blew me away. Note: The Mike's are not known for their knowledge or love for basketball. Football is number one with them.

This book was fun to read. I enjoyed it.… (meer)
