John Feinstein Interview Coming Up

CY18 · Feb 3, 2006

For those who read his books or know who he is on Feb. 15th I will be talking to him about his new book Last Dance Behind the Scenes at the Final Four. It's a good read thus far as I have read over 170 pages, but anyone who has any general questions for him I will take a few of them.

Junior Feinstein ? Same dude Tony K always talks about. I think they are good friends... should be a good interview. Good luck.

CY18 · Feb 3, 2006

He's a sports journalist who has written a lot of insider books. My grandfather who has been to every Super Bowl accept like six or seven of them loves his writing and I said why not. So I called the publisher, got the book, and got on the interview schedule.

He's from the DC/Metro area...had the pleasure of meeting him and conversing with him via email a few times a couple years ago. Really nice guy, great writer, should make for a good interview.

CY18 · Feb 3, 2006

Thanks Skins. How you been sir?

SkinsRaj28 · Feb 3, 2006

Been alright man...wasting my time on here as usual instead of doing anything productive. How bout you? GL with the interview.

CY18 · Feb 3, 2006

Just working on upcoming interviews, doing the usual college work, and some reading. Being productive as always. Hang in there man.

Ask him what he thinks of the NCAA's attack on gambling and if he thinks they are blowing it out of proportion or if they are doing too little to stop it.

CY18 · Feb 3, 2006

I don't mind asking gambling questions, but I like the sports fans sports related questions if you get what I mean. Then again I am not a big wager guy like a lot on this board and it's just a small hobby.

John "Junior" Feinstein is a longtime Kornheiser guest and friend. They worked together at The Washington Post. Great author. A Good Walk Spoiled, A Civil War and A March to Madness are my favorites. Ask him to describe tennis players vs golfers. He tells some great stories about how spoiled pro tennis players are and how likeable pro golfers are. Good luck with the interview Chris.

CY18 · Feb 3, 2006

Got it. Thanks.

Hey Chris. One of my favorite books of all time is A Good Walk Spoiled. He really gets behind the scenes of the PGA.

Ask John who the biggest prick on tour and who is the nicest guy on tour. I am sure he will say Nick Price is the nicest guy. He had nothing but great things to say about Nick. It would be interesting who he thinks is the biggest prick.

Good luck on your interview.

Ask him if he has been hunting with Knight.

You miss the point Chris. The NCAA claims gambling is the biggest scourge out there and would like to know if Feinstein shares the opinion, that's all. I would be interested to see if he makes any remarks about the hypocrisy of the NCAA and all big time sports in acting as if gambling is ruining the game while driving up the money pumped into sports to all-time highs.

I too loved that book, and I think that's a great question, especially the prick one.

CY18 · Feb 4, 2006

I will use the pricks and gambling questions. I appreciate the insight. Some of you guys actually have real good questions I probably would never think of. Got 160 pages left to read of the book.

He is definitely known for "Season on the Brink", but my favorite has to be "A March to Madness" - if you love the ACC it is a MUST read.

Ask him how shady he thinks Jim Calhoun's program is?

disgruntled MD fan, loser of Rudy Gay.....
