They were hyping this book on an ESPN sports talk channel I listen to now and then.

They were puffing up Sal Paolantonio's credentials as a reporter so hard, I thought the book must've been written by Frank Deford or somebody like that.

Sal Paolantonio? He's a JAR. Just a reporter. The Philly bias is evident. You could also take the people that he runs down and make the opposite case quite logically. I hope this work dies a slow death. It's all crap.
