4.0 out of 5 stars Fun for fans, May 17, 2001

This review is from: The Quotable ESPN (Paperback)

I like this book; it's fun for sports fans, especially those who enjoy the Sportscenter-esque humor. There are plenty of funny quotes, a few memorable ones, and a few inspiring ones, too. The only problem is that the book becomes a little dated as the years pass. It's fun, especially to have a few quotes to splice into conversation, but it's not overwhelming, either.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, light reading for the sports fan, March 31, 2008

This review is from: The Quotable ESPN (Paperback)

With the large number of people interviewed, it is not surprising that it was fairly easy for a collection of outstanding quotes to be prepared. This book contains many of them and it is easy, light reading for the sports junkie. As befits the breadth of ESPN, all sports are covered and at all levels. The quotes are funny, serious, and occasionally on the edge of incomprehensible. However, in all cases they are entertaining, which makes this book one that you can reread with pleasure several times.
