Customer Reviews

A Masterpiece!

Jean McCormick is a truly amazing woman! She has done almost as much for sports programming on TV as any man and she proves her worth in this book. I can't say enough good things about the book or it's author!

Wonderful!

McCormick has written a very witty and educational book that has been a pleasure to read. Great Job!
