I've thought since the days of the
Sports Century series that ESPN was missing Osborne as a compelling person to feature, having later entered government. Heck even that GQ article from way back made him out to be fascinating despite his rigid dullness. (As I recall there's a whole page of wallet-size photos in the article, with barely perceptible facial expression changes. The article quotes (I'm paraphrasing) the photographer as having pled with him to change his expression and his reply, "I'm not a contortionist.") That ESPN still has not done it tells me that they don't believe there is much of an audience for it.
