About the Author

Rich Eisen has been the signature host of NFL Network since its inception in 2003, anchoring its most popular programs, NFL Total Access and NFL GameDay. For seven years, Eisen served as a lead anchor of SportsCenter on ESPN, which discovered him on the local sports desk in Redding, California, in 1996. Eisen worked as a play-by-play announcer and late-night studio host for CBS Sports’ coverage of the U.S. Open Tennis Championships and was also a mainstay on VH-1’s popular anthology series I Love the ‘70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s. He runs a 6.43 40-yard dash in lace-up Zegna Crocs and lives in Beverly Hills with his lovely wife, Suzy, and lovable rescue dog, Hudson.

Editorial Reviews

I've always admired Rich Eisen's work, so it's no surprise to me that his book is very entertaining. What is a surprise is that he's somehow found time to write it in between the NFL Network's 6,347 hours of coverage of weak-side linebackers who could be draft-sleepers. That sort of programming and this book about it are both genuine public services.” —Bob Costas

“A lot of things in our lives are far less than as advertised, but this book advertises Total Access and gives you Total Access. That's right. Total Access! I'm not kidding. I liked this book and I'm not a reader.” —Tony Kornheiser, columnist for The Washington Post and co-host for ESPN's Pardon the Interruption

“Rich uses his great sense of humor to detail the life of an on-air NFL personality. It is a world I know well, but still I couldn't stop turning the pages. It is a great read—-a must for anyone who loves television and Pro Football.” —Joe Buck, Fox Sports
