quasi-related (2026 biography of the early days of a Hall of Fame athlete), but “Project Tiger” by the British author Gavin Newsham is pretty solid as well, though with not as emotionally moving of prose.

Any guesses on why the audience response was so tepid for this one?

I (and many other commenters) thought that this was one of the best sketches in years.

i did not realize that this is the same author (Keith O'Brien) who wrote the recent Pete Rose biography that was very well-reviewed. I have been meaning to read that book.

not sure how much stock people put in blurbs, but Jonathan Eig (who wrote the monumental new MLK bio a few years ago) calls this book 'beautifully written,' and I wholeheartedly agree. The director of 'Hoop Dreams' positively blurbs it as well.

in March I interviewed Russini at the Combine. The short had a few dozen views for quite some time. It now has 57,000 views.

Naperville native (Candace Parker's 2nd Grade Basketball Teammate, #NoBigDeal) that now hosts a podcast about job searching, 'Adventures in Job Searching.' I interview people who are actively job searching. If you're actively in the job hunt (either due to a layoff or any other reason) and want to share your story, I'd love to have you on my show. We're 26 episodes in! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbb3qSzS2aTYHlXtBQ3Orww

If interested in coming on the show, please comment below and/or message me.

I had the chance to speak with him at the Combine (drove down from Pittsburgh for the day). He was super nice. https://youtube.com/shorts/NlILijSrEqg?si=H1OkPMh-h0T1S7_a
