Deadlines and Overtimes



Collected Writings on Sports and Life


Bill Lyon



"This is a Grand Slam by a Hall of Fame writer at his brilliant best. The human spirit comes shining through on every page."
Michael Jack Schmidt, the greatest third baseman of all time



A retrospective of 33 years of memorable reflections from the Philadelphia Inquirer’s voice of Philly sports, Bill Lyon. With columns that cover as many sporting events as Lyon did—including seven Olympics, more than two dozen Super Bowls, 11 NBA Finals, 17 U.S. Opens and dozens of fights, bowls, baseball playoffs and Final Fours— Deadlines and Overtimes is a look back…and through lasting insights, a look forward…at local, regional, national and worldwide sports.
 
With his trademark humor and vast knowledge of the games that form part of the fabric of American life and a uniquely Philadelphia spirit, Lyon captures the essence of sports and sportswriting. Read cover-to-cover or flip through to any page to start enjoying these accessible and insightful gems from a master of sportswriting.
