This week’s guest on Behind the Lines is Jeff Benedict, who you’ll likely know best from his outstanding 2018 biography of Tiger Woods, which he co-wrote with Armen Keteyian.
Jeff is special features writer with Sports Illustrated and the Woods book is one of 16 he’s written. His most recent is out today - The Dynasty, the inside story of the New England Patriots.
We chat about the Patriots and what made them so successful, we dig into the relationship between Bill Belichick and Tom Brady and Jeff also explains the integral role played in the entire dynasty by, em, Jon Bon Jovi.
We also talk about Jeff’s career, and how he ended up beating Donald Trump in court.
And there’s plenty of Tiger talk, too.
Jeff’s picks were: Open by Andre Agassi ; Seabiscuit by Laura Hillenbrand; Friday Night Lights by Buzz Bissinger
