Doc Emrick announced his retirement and has a new book out this week


I'll admit, I don't read many books these days. I lack the free time to sit down and commit to a few hundred pages of material. But Tuesday I went ahead and bought Hockey Hall of Fame broadcaster Doc Emrick's new book Off Mike: How a Kid from Basketball-Crazy Indiana Became America's NHL Voice. I rammed through 162 of 225 pages last night. Doc, who actually has his doctorate, takes readers on his journey from being a teenager interested in baseball to his first hockey game in Fort Wayne, Indiana. This move instantly flipped a switch in his head and led to an obsession with hockey. The book travels through the low minors all the way to Emrick's rise to the NHL and introduces the reader to characters Mike meets along the way. 

Emrick, 74, announced this week he won't be returning to NBC when the next NHL season begins. 

And in positive NFL news, the Saints have been approved to let fans into the Superdome. November home games will have up to 6,000 fans, a that number goes up to 15,000 in December.
