Summary: Less Bob
Review: This book does a nice job of including a wide variety of sports and personalities from boxing to baseball to the women's world cup win. This book seems to have something for every fan. The photos throughout the book are fantastic. My problem with the book/cd is so much of the cd is taken up with Bob Costas yacking. One of the things that makes these moments so great is the fact that they happened out of the blue, or that they seemed to occur against all odds (snatching victory from the jaws of defeat, etc.) For most of the audio there is not much more than a couple seconds that leads into the broadcast exerpt. You get the exhileration of the moment but it doesn't mean nearly as much if you don't also get the minute or so prior to these clips, the utter sense of hopelessness that usually precedes 'the miracle finish'. In many of the tracks Costas is actually talking over the broadcast which is extremely annoying. I understand that some of the audio could be in extremely poor condition and that may have a great deal to do with the brevity for some tracks, but I would've taken the fuzzy, barely intelligible voice of a broadcaster watching it and describing it live as the story unfolded than Bob's summarization.

Summary: Good book, but would have rather had the video.
Review: This is an awesome collection of works that definitely raised my adreneline. Bob Costas was definitely the reason I purchased the book. I only wished there was an attached video so that I could have thoroughly enjoyed reminiscing through yesteryear!!! My daughter gave it to me as a Christmas present so I can't complain!!!

Review: What an amazing companion to the similar book "We Interrupt This Broadcast" that I own! Both are such clever ideas, and so well written. Everything from the pictures to the writing to the extraordinary cd's...they are outstanding! Kudos to the editorial staff, and everyone who worked on it - well done! I'm going to tell all my friends about it!
