Rating: 5 stars
Summary: hilarious
Review: A book about the show that revolutionized the sports tv show by the two guys who were the stars of the show. Funniest section is where they talk about those little catch-phrases everyone gets stuck in their head. You know like, "from way downtown...bang!!" and "he put the biscuit in the basket". Hilarious!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: not actually live, but totally hilarious
Review: for those loyal 'big show' viewers still in mourning due to keith's departure from ESPN, cheer yourself up with this three-hour dose of madcap medicine. yes, keith and dan read from their book, and it's just like watching them do 'sportscenter' except for the times that keith uses mild profanities. i wouldn't recommend listening to this while driving or operating heavy machinery. you'll laugh so hard you'll be impaired.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best thing since sliced bread
Review: I bought the audio version of Keith and Dan's book in addition to the printed version. While the book contains a lot more material than the tapes, it's great to listen to Keith and Dan banter back and forth for three hours. Take this one in the car with you on long trips--it will definitely make the trip more interesting. This ia a must-have for any true Olbermaniac (like myself.)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This audio-book is simply "en fuego"

Summary: The best thing since sliced bread
Review: Keith Olberman and Dan Patrick truly speak from the heart and give their inside approach to what they think of the sports industry. I've already recomended it to some of my friends and they love it also so BUY THIS NOW!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An entertaining look at 2 of the best sportscasters on tv.
Review: This is one of those books that, becuase of Dan and Keith's style of delivery, is better heard than read. Both were very accurate in their rebuke of the baseball hall of fame selection process. The 3rd top 10 list was a little boring. Overall the book is very entertaiing.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: SportsCenter junkies must stop by for this rapid-fire chat.
Review: While you'll get to know Keith more clearly than Dan, this book is great because you get to hear how the ridiculous and inspiring world of sports looks to both of these guys. And from their front-row seats in World Headquarters they talk about the show (a 60-minute high wire act playing nightly), the broadcasting business, celebrity, athletes loved, despised, and admired, and sports in America in general. I thoroughly enjoyed their candor and perspective

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: En Fuego Doesn't Start With 'N'
Review: You'll have to read the book to truly appreciate the title of my review. Dan Patrick and Keith Olberman were incredibly great together on air, and they continue this trend with The Big Show.

Not only is this book hilariously funny (two different fonts was pure genius), but it gives you an incredibly in-depth look at the behind-the-scenes making of the greatest sports' news show on television. Yes, today most of topics in the book are outdated, but you can still relate to the athletes they discuss.

The authors also share their totally different stories of their respective rises to the top, as well as discussing larger sports' stories that have been well documented in the news. In doing so, they use easy-flowing descriptive language, intertwined with their vast knowledge of sports on the whole. This funny and insightful book is a must read for all sports fans.
