The Owner/Writer/Editor/Webmaster of The Sports Bank and The Bank.News has authored a book

No, I Can’t Get You Free Tickets: Lessons Learned From a Life in the Sports Media Industry

You can get it on Amazon right here in paperback!

In “No, I Can’t Get You Free Tickets” Paul M. Banks has penned a book that’s required reading for anyone interested in the past, present and future of the sports media industry.

In recapping he most memorable moments of his career, including a story that inspired memes, t-shirts and a catch-phrase, Banks produces a book that can be classified in several genres.It’s a digital age version of Jerome Holtzman’s “No Cheering in the Press Box” meets Frank Deford’s “Over Time” for the millenials and Gen Xers.

The reader goes on the road with all-access credentials to a world in a way that provides wanderlust to any sports fan or media member.

Writing with the passion of Bill Simmons’ “Now I can Die in Peace,” Banks provides interviews with high profile athletes at a stage in their careers where they’re not beholden, and thus express themselves with the same candor that he does.

It’s not a book about sports, it’s a book about using the lens of sports to convey the state of journalism today and how we as nation are responding to that.
