Eugene David
...The One-Minute Pundit

Friday, December 04, 2009


John Feinstein, a contributor to The Post, is the author of 25 books, including "A Good Walk Spoiled: Days and Nights on the PGA Tour" and, most recently, "Change-Up: Mystery at the World Series."

I think we can agree judging from this blatting eulogy that John's written maybe 22 or 23 books and hundreds of columns too many. I say that because ever since The Four Horsemen sports hacks have had this need to be profound. They forget that the best writing doesn't ape a presidential bellow, or a Congressional eruction. But still, we're a sports hack, and we must be profound. And of the zillions of words spilled over TGM I doubt if a few thousands have been worth reading -- and that includes BEFORE the Cadillac.
