Leave it to ESPN Los Angeles' Scott French, who incidentally looks like a hybrid between Terry Richardson and his excellence David Hirshey, to knock out probably the lengthiest written piece on Goldenballs since The Beckham Experiment. It may not be a book but make no mistake this is a long, damn near ginormous article that might actually be worthy of being described with the much-overused adjective "epic."
If you've got the day off, are retired, are currently imprisoned or just don't give a damn about doing actual work this morning you should definitely give this a read. It's engaging stuff. Just be sure to grab a coffee or go the restroom first because this could take a while.
