We're trying something new this week over at the show. Once a month, Kate and D.J. will be discussing a book on the topic of sports or journalism. This was NOT a paid review or promotion by the author or publisher of the book. A list is compiled by Kate and D.J. and the book each month is selected at random.
For our first episode, "Talking to GOATs" by Jim Gray is discussed. He is a reporter who just seemed to be at the right place at the right time for several major sports events over the last 30+ years. We talk Tyson vs Holyfield II (The ear bite fight), Lebron James' "The Decision", Jim's infamous interview with Pete Rose, discovering a very young Tiger Woods, his friendships and relationships he's built over his career and a wonderful Masters story about and tribute to his late father.
Mr. Gray - You have an open invitation to come on the show any time to talk! We really enjoyed the read!
It was definitely worth the read, so be sure to go check out "Talking to GOATs" and next month our featured book is "Lucky Bastard" by Joe Buck. Go order it and read along with us!

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
