“Fast, funny, entertaining and revealing. The best part? The unavoidable image in the reader’s mind of Linda herself machine-gunning her own story at you like a fascinating edition of Sportscenter…Dah Dah Dah, Dah Dah Dah.”
- Kurt Russell
Award nominated actor, star of “Miracle” and former second baseman for the California Angels
“Lets put it this way. After reading her book I now know things about Linda Cohn I couldn’t even have suspected from roughly 1000 hours of SportsCenters. And I have reached the following conclusion: Linda is the top Cohn-Head since Larraine Newman.”
- Bob Costas
Sportscaster, Author of Fair Ball: A Fan’s Case for Baseball, winner of the Curt Gowdy Award, the Dick Schapp Award for Outstanding Journalism, and multiple Emmy Award and National Sportscaster of the year Award winner
“Life isn’t always pretty, but Linda’s story is a beautiful one. It’s a compelling tale of courage, perseverance, and ultimately hope. Her humor and authenticity shine through in every page and make it impossible not to become a fan. And truth be told, Mark Messier notwithstanding, Linda is the reason we won the Stanley Cup in ’94.”
- Mike Richter
Former New York Rangers goaltender and 2007 Yale graduate
“Wow!!! Linda Cohn’s fascinating narrative of life and love in the testosterone driven world of American sports and ESPN is an excellent tale of one dynamic woman’s charging crusade to have it her way. Cohn-Head bares it all personally and professionally; from battles won and lost, to dreams realized and shattered. As with all things Linda Cohn, we can’t wait for what’s next, and Cohn-Head is our time traveling spaceship with Linda at the controls…Hold on everybody and enjoy the ride!!!”
- Bill Walton
Hall of Fame Basketball Player, former All-Star and MVP, ABC/ESPN sports commentator
“Linda Cohn is far hotter than her ‘girl in the locker room’ persona would suggest. I’ve been with her backstage at a rock and roll show….I know.”
- Kevin Cronin
Lead Vocalist for REO Speedwagon
“I enjoyed Linda Cohn delivering the sports on radio and TV before she ever made it to ESPN, and after all these years working alongside of her, the enjoyment is tenfold! She does it the old-fashioned way…Sports by a sports fan for the sports fan.”
- Chris Berman
ESPN Personality
“Cohn-Head is both painfully honest and laugh out loud funny, filled with anecdotes and insights. Come along for the journey of a self proclaimed child geek who grew up to be the swan of sports.”
- Leslie Visser
CBS Sportscaster, first female sportscaster on “Monday Night Football,” winner of Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award and Billie Award.
“Linda Cohn grew up on Long Island yet becomes a Big New York
Rangers fan, then she goes to college at the snowiest place on earth where she excels as a goaltender. Out of college she gets into the man’s world of TV sports and becomes a star. Who wouldn’t want to read about this lady.”
- Barry Melrose
ESPN NHL Analyst, former NHL player and head coach
“Linda Cohn has been instrumental in the advancement of women in the media. Her wonderful book tells her story so well.”
- Tim Kurkjian
ESPN’s “Baseball Tonight” analyst, Author of Is This a Great Game, or What?
“Cohn-Head is a candid, sweet, humorous and intensely personal story of one of America’s most recognized and well-liked sports media personalities. Linda Cohn is courageous enough to be introspective in a way that gives us insight into her personal evolution, from the difficulty of busting into the boy’s club that is the sports television industry to battling through her inner conflicts to become a mother and role model. The kind of juggling act her male colleagues can observe but never experience.”
- Michael Wilbon
Co-host of ESPN’s “Pardon the Interruption”, sports columnist for The Washington Post
I have been sending out demos and even started my own sports blog on Twitter. Still no big break as of yet. It is first job in broadcast the toughest to get. I love the book and bought on game seven of 2008 Stanley Cup Finals.
I would like to read your book and possibly promote it on my website.

I love it when you are on Sportscenter it brightens my day. I don’t know if its possible but could you please send me an autographed photo of you please? You will fit very nicely all framed beside my Michael Jordan, Barry Bonds and Tim Lincecum autogrpahs I have on my wall. My address is Ken Harvey, 3205 Northwood Drive #353, Concord, CA 94520.

Hello I am loving the book. I was curious how I could go about obtaining a signed bookplate to place in the cover?
Hello my loved one! I want to say that this post is amazing, nice written and come with almost all vital infos. I would like to peer more posts like this .
Linda,
I am a huge sports fan outside of Philadelphia and am currently a journalism major in my second year of college. I’ve watched you on television for years now and appreciate what you bring to sports. I am a huge fan of yours and have tried tweeting you a few times as well..haha but I would just like some advice on what it takes to make it in the sports journalism world. I was raised by a single mother and have seen tough times but I am trying to keep progressing. I also was a former hockey player in high school and even was named captain my senior year! If you’re ever in Philly again I’d love to get the opportunity to meet you, if possible. Keep going strong and GO FLYERS!!!
p.s. If you took a minute to tweet?follow me @dat_korny_buhl it would mean a great deal to me..Thank you!
Dearest Linda,
No, I’m not famous. Just an average person who has enjoyed watching you over the years. I have always enjoyed you on ESPN. I enjoyed reading about the woman behind the camera in your book. It was fascinating to read about what made you who you are. You’re not a hired actress reading a teleprompter. You’re a true sports fan that found a way to professionally do what you love. That alone, receives a lot of respect from me. I wish you nothing but the best. Thank you for being you.
Linda…Our Soldiers are using ice hockey as therapy. As a Sept 11th survivor, I’ve been trying to get them ice time and introduce them to other hockey playing Soldiers so they can help each other. Please tell our story…Noodle Soup for the soul…possibly your next book. (The entire story of how this unfolded is pretty incredible)
Dear Linda,
Allow me to thank you with all my heart, for the work and education that you continue to offer.
I live in Canada, and I am from the Democratic Republic of Congo. I left my country as a refugee in 2005 because of the war, Canada has given me a new chance and opportunity to start new life, and I’m grateful for that.
When I see from human being like you (What you are doing) , I continue to believe that HUMANITY exist.
Once again, thank you very much, continues with the good work you are doing, and
God bless you.
