ESPN’s history covers 700-plus pages

A new book about ESPN mixes a detailed corporate history of the 24-hour-a-day sports network with off-camera gossip and after-hours tales about the personalities there.

Called “Those Guys Have All the Fun: Inside the World of ESPN,” the book is due for publication Tuesday, but some copies were distributed Thursday.

Weighing in at well over 700 pages, the tome is an oral history, with co-authors James Andrew Miller and Tom Shales saying in the introduction that they interviewed more than 550 people for it.
