John Feinstein is one of the most prolific American sports writers in history, authoring 44 books including 23 best-sellers. He joins D.A. for a conversation about his roots as a Mets and Jets fan growing up on the Upper West Side in the '60s and the old days of getting into standing room only at Shea Stadium. Feinstein discusses how his all-access book "Season on the Brink" changed his life and how his relationship with Bobby Knight was extremely complicated after that. He goes into the ill-fated National daily sports paper and how sports media has changed since he began writing for the iconic Washington Post sports department with Tony Kornhesier, Michael Wilbon, and Sally Jenkins. Feinstein's latest project covers David Feherty's lifelong battle with addiction and his next book about Ivy League football. It's an episode that covers the life of one of America's most well-known sportswriters.   To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
