Dan Patrick's dry wit, encyclopedic knowledge, and obvious love of sports has made him one of America's most respected sportscasters. Where Patrick shines brightest is as an interviewer; his no-holds-barred style disarms his subjects, who respond with great candor. In these selections from his ESPN The Magazine column, Outtakes, Patrick talks to 25 great athletes, from Barry Sanders to Gary Payton, and Dennis Rodman to Jeff Gordon. Each offers up personal gems; tough guy Brett Favre admits he cries when the Packers lose, Mr. Niceguy Pete Sampras disses Barbra Streisand ("She's what I call a pitching wedge. She looks good from about 150 yards away"), and Julie Foudy encourages her U.S. women's soccer teammates to celebrate by taking off their jerseys and begs Phil Jackson to become coach of the L.A. Lakers (both wishes came true in the months following her interview with Patrick). Even regular readers of Patrick's column in The Magazine will find new material here; each interview is prefaced with his frank reflections on the exchange. As usual, Dan Patrick is en fuego. --M. Stein

Dan Patrick exemplifies outstanding sports reporting. In Outtakes, he engages his dry sense of humor and mixes it together with his extraordinary knowledge of the sports world. Outtakes is a candid collection of interviews with sports' celebrities of past and present. He is not afraid to ask the questions that everyone truly wants to ask, and the word associations are outright hysterical. Patrick is one of the wittiest people on the face of the earth. Outtakes just shines with this. The book is an easy read, and has a good, steady flow to it. It is one entertaining ride into the insightful mind of Dan Patrick, sports' guru. Just hold on, because the laughs come hard and fast.
