5.0 out of 5 stars A detailed and balanced look at TV sports

2.0 out of 5 stars Whoa, does this guy like himself
A kiss-and-tell book which in which Mr. O'Neil attempts to convince us everything he has touched has turned to gold.

Do not read this if you like Brent Musburger, or think John Madden is a bit of a windbag.

5.0 out of 5 stars A detailed and balanced look at TV sports, April 2, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Game Behind the Game: High Pressure, High Stakes in Television Sports (Paperback)
An entertaining memoir from a TV sports producer who
seems to have been an eyewitness to some of the most
memorable moments and personalities in sports, from
the 1972 Munich Olympics to the rise of John Madden.


O'Neil provides plenty of behind-the-scenes information
and avoids insulting the reader's intelligence by
including technical information (e.g., selection of
camera shots during live action) that help in understanding
a producer or director's role.


Unfortunately, O'Neil fell victim to the same politicking
and backstabbing that accompany big-money network
sports. However, this does not detract from the
enjoyment of this book.
