We are starting off this week with a bang! We are thrilled to have Jeff Pearlman on the pod today. Pearlman is a New York Times best-selling author of 9 books. He was a former Sports Illustrated senior writer, ESPN.com columnist and a former staff writer for both the Newsday and the (Nashville) Tennessean. He has a new book coming out in September called “Three-Ring Circus: Kobe, Shaw, Phil and the Crazy Years of the Lakers Dynasty”.
We can’t thank Pearlman enough for taking the time to hang out and share his story with us. In this episode, we learn more about his background, what triggered his interest in sports and writing, the famous John Rocker interview, some great stories from working on his previous best-sellers, and MUCH more.
The passion this guy shows for his writing has always been clear. For us, his humor and kindness shown in this episode is something we will always appreciate and remember most. He even gave Zach some pointers on how to improve his throwback jersey collection. We always loved Jeff Pearlman the author, but now we’re even bigger fans of Jeff Pearlman the person. We know you'll feel the same after giving this episode a listen.
