When I first started to talk about the book with Doug, I thought it was going to be too technical for me, but that was exactly the opposite. I really enjoyed the read and had a hard time putting it down. It really held my interest.

“Ready One..Take One” is an easy read, without the technical talk that might have lost me. Doug tells the story of the complex efforts and timing necessary to present programming that we take for granted. The book is interlaced with stories and comments from many sports personalities. It’s an insightful and entertaining story of his career in broadcasting. Hopefully this book will be a great help for the next generation of producers and directors. It’s a must read.

When I first started to read the book, I couldn’t put it down. All the nostalgia in the first chapter blew me away.
