That Deserves a Wow

Untold Stories of Legends and Champions, Their Wins and Heartbreaks

About this book

The Emmy Award–winning FOX Sports broadcaster provides a front row seat to some of the most memorable moments in sports history.

Emmy Award–winning broadcaster Chris Myers reflects on his illustrious career as one of the most trusted and renowned journalists in sports media. Myers has witnessed and participated in his fair share of historic events: on the field when the earthquake struck the 1989 World Series; on the air throughout the tragic aftermath of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics bombing; on the sidelines during the Patriots' stunning comeback at Super Bowl LI; and a contentious live interview with the notorious OJ Simpson.

Now Myers offers an inside look at all these moments and more in these candid behind-the-scenes sports stories, revealing the joys and pressures of working with the world's most famous athletes and sharing the experiences and interactions that never made it on screen. He takes readers behind the scenes with the biggest names in sports, including Mike Tyson, Muhammed Ali, Tom Brady, John Wooden, Bill Belichick, Charles Barkley, Barry Bonds, Serena Williams, Jack Nicklaus, Pete Sampras, and even Bill Murray.

Through it all, Chris captures a community that is bigger than sports, one that has banded together through triumph and tragedy, providing inspiring life lessons about excellence, compassion, and connection.

In That Deserves a Wow, Myers takes you into the huddle, the dugout, and the broadcast booth for:

  • Sports History Up Close: Witness the earth shake the 1989 World Series and feel the tension on the sidelines during the Patriots' stunning Super Bowl LI comeback, as told by the man who was there.
  • Legendary Athlete Interviews: Go beyond the stats in unforgettable, never-before-shared moments with icons like Muhammad Ali, Tom Brady, Mike Tyson, and Serena Williams.
  • The Infamous O.J. Simpson Interview: Get the full story behind one of the most contentious and talked-about live television interviews in sports media history.
  • Inspiring Life Lessons: Discover powerful stories of triumph, tragedy, and connection that reveal the human element of competition and the bonds forged by a love for the game.
