Veteran New York Times Business & NFL reporter, Ken Belson, will discuss his deeply reported account of how the NFL鈥檚 Commissioner, Roger Goodell, and its two most powerful owners, Jerry Jones & Robert Kraft, turned the league into a cultural phenomenon.
Mr. Belson鈥檚 new book was just released: EVERY DAY IS SUNDAY: How Jerry Jones, Robert Kraft, and Roger Goodell turned the NFL into a Cultural & Economic Juggernaut
The talk will appeal to fans of the NFL, students of the business of sports and anyone interested in perhaps America's last form of mass entertainment.
Mr. Belson will also discuss his methods for reporting the book, what it's like to write about billionaires, professional athletes and network executives, and how to balance holding down a day job while working on a three-year book project.
This will be a discussion event, with time for some audience Q&A at the end.
Location: Constant Hall 1002 in the Strome College of Business.
Date and Time: 12:30 to 1:15PM
From 1:15 PM: There will also be an opportunity to meet the author and get a personalized signed free copy (limited number) of "EVERY DAY IS SUNDAY鈥 in the atrium outside Contant 1002.
Pizza will be available to enjoy during Mr. Belson鈥檚 talk.
