Reviews

""This smart, lively examination of ESPN's place in American culture and how it continues to consciously work its way in is a trove of research, insight, and fascinating stories.""--Robert Lipsyte, New York Times columnist and author of An Accidental Sportswriter ""Represents a genuinely original and overdue assessment of perhaps the most significant entity in sports media since the penny press. An exceptional trove of interviews, archival information, and industrial and aesthetic analysis.""--Victoria E. Johnson, author of Heartland TV: Prime Time Television and the Struggle for U.S. Identity ""This is to date the most thoroughly researched and well-argued analysis of ESPN.""--Aaron Baker, author of Contesting Identities: Sports in American Film
