          cosign, great read.

          Golf fans should really check out the books by John Feinstein (A Good walk spoiled, the majors, the open, a few more I'm forgetting, all great books).

          Rick Reiley's golf books (Who's Your Caddy, a few others)

                  Oh just thought of another book and it's far superior to the movie.

                  Monday Night Mayhem: The Inside Story of ABC's Monday Night Football


                  The book was published in 1989 so it's dated BUT if you want to know about the Cossell era this is the book for you. I thought some of the comments on Cossell towards the end was a little rough but probably justified.

                            both are great books by Rick Reily. the second one is a sequel to the first.
