Summary
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 blunder seem 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!

Keith Olbermann
Keith Olbermann was rescued from a sinking barge, and raised by wild ocelots in the Brazilian rain forest. Years later, he was found by a touring band of would-be soccer play-by-play announcers and brought back to civilization (well, Bristol).
