Literary heads-up: "Those Guys Have All The Fun: Inside The World Of ESPN" released tomorrow

[Condem]

Since a bunch of us here were there at the birth of ESPN (and, yes, it changed my life) I've been waiting for this one. The contents have been top secret. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/16/sports/a-publisher-drops-no-hints-on-contents-of-new-espn-book.html?scp=1&sq=Richard+Sandomir+ESPN++May+16%2C+2011&st=nyt

1. This is going to be good.

I love this kind of shit.

ESPN is my preferred viewing most of the time I'm watching TV.
Shit, I'm watching the Dallas vs OKC game right now.
ON.
ESPN.

I'm surprised Rupert Murdoch hasn't try to buy it.

2. ESPN is owned by Disney

For some reason, I get the feeling Murdoch doesn't want to go head to head with Eisner and Co.

3. Hulu is owned by both

Though I think with Fox Sports they see themselves as direct competitors to ESPN but if there is money to be made, they'd make it work.
