Will Leitch does anti-ESPN book

[playthrough]

I'm pretty sure Leitch's book isn't solely about ESPN. I think some of you are getting confused by the Post story.

It's called God Save the Fan, and is populist, take-back-the-game rant that will include anecdotes about ESPN clowns, but hardly focus on them.

Correct me if I am wrong -- didn't Mike Lupica already right this book and call it "mad as hell" or "angry as hell" or something?

Mad as Hell. My Dad thought it was a masterpiece; he'd probably like Leitch's book too. But he's the definition of a populist sports fan, the kind who thinks I can get him comped tickets to anything and that I live for free food in the press box.

Leitch's book is less about content than about selling to a cult following. And about as meaningful as seeing guys line up to meet Simmons on his book tour.
