Before we go, we want to take a moment to remember author, sportswriter and a frequent guest on our program, John Feinstein, who died just today.
John wrote about basketball, football, golf, and other sports, much of the time as a columnist for The Washington Post. He also wrote more than 40 books, including “A Good Walk Spoiled,” “A Civil War,” novels for young readers, and his breakthrough in 1986, “A Season on the Brink.” That chronicled a tough season for the Indiana Hoosiers and their explosive coach, Bobby Knight.
John was incisive, he was funny, and he could be biting too, whether he was criticizing the NCAA or the NFL, as he did in his 2021 conversation with Judy Woodruff about his book “Raise a Fist, Take a Knee.”
