وصف الناشر
The amazing and blessed life of popular ESPN reporter and correspondent for College GameDay, Marty Smith, whose mission in this thoughtful and funny memoir is to return fans to the true soul of sports in this country.
You know Marty right? The guy during College GameDay hanging off the back of a pickup truck while zooming around the Clemson athletic facilities. The guy who visits Nick Saban's lake house and somehow gets Coach to jump in the lake. The guy who sits down with Dale Jr. at Daytona to talk through tears about his miraculous return to racing. The guy who interviews Tiger Woods, Tim Tebow, Peyton Manning and Jimmie Johnson -- the guy who gets paid to live the fantasy of every sports fan in America.
Never Settle is the funny but oh, it's true story of how Marty got here, and a revealing look at his journey. Never Settle includes all the best stories and behind-the-scenes moments from Marty's wild life, covering topics including: college football, racing, fathers and sons, how sports can bring us together, and how it all goes back to growing up on a farm and playing high school ball in Pearisburg, Virginia.

Perfect
Absolutely awesome book. This book is not only for the sports fan but for anyone who has a pulse. As an avid NASCAR and CFB fan, Marty Smith is a sacred name in our household. Hearing the stories that made him who he is today was inspiring and incredible. I especially appreciate the stories from his grandfather who served in WWII. May he rest in peace and thank you for your service.
Couldn’t put it down
Every chapter was captivating. As a long time sports fan all the names discussed were athletes that I followed with great detail in their playing or coaching days. It’s fun to see the other side of them through this book. As a veteran it was refreshing to read about his grandfather and WWII. I 100% recommend this book for entertainment and inspiration. Marty keep up the great work!!
