Jeff Pearlman is one of the most successful and prolific sportswriters on the scene. He's written eight best-selling books on great teams such as the Showtime Lakers and the 1986 Mets, to iconic players like Brett Favre, Walter Payton, and Roger Clemens. His latest book, Football for a Buck, chronicles "the crazy rise and crazier demise of the USFL (one of Donald Trump's great cons). A former Sports Illustrated senior writer and ESPN.com columnist, Pearlman contributes to Bleacher Report, the Wall Street Journal, and CNN.com. He alsoco-hosts the Two Writers Slinging Yang podcast and a self-diagnosed "Twitter addict." On this episode of Write About Now, Pearlman talks about the creative ways he finds offbeat stories, why sports are a lot funnier than we think, and the abject horror of walking into a team's clubhouse to get an interview.
