They really do have all the fun!
This book tells quite a lot about what was originally known as "The Total Sports Network" - from their early years, where the unknown early rounds of the NCAA Men's Basketball tournament, the pioneering coverage of the NFL Draft, and - of course - Australian Rules Football, to the current day, with various sports programs - and telecasts of actual sporting events - taking center stage, if you will. This book is worth the money, and is a very good read.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
