Feinstein stays

Quick note from the Washington Post this morning:

Commentator John Feinstein will be back on the air for Saturday's Navy-Air Force game despite uttering an obscenity during the radio broadcast of last week's Navy game...During the broadcast Saturday, Feinstein directed a profanity at the referees after a Duke receiver appeared to push a Navy defender.

Feinstein, the author of the classic Season on the Brink, pulled himself from the air and offered to resign immediately after the game.

However, Feinstein's foul mouth is hardly shocking. I'm actually surprised he hasn't gotten in trouble before.

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I went to the National Book Festival, where Feinstein spoke. What I didn't mention was that Feinstein spoke...at the kid's tent. He was there to promote Last Shot: A Final Four Mystery, his first children's book (and not to be confused with the excellent The Last Shot by Darcy Frey). Since I was at the festival, I went anyway; Feinstein is a very quotable, prolific guy who's always entertaining, and I was hoping he'd mention his new book on the Baltimore Ravens (he did).

Feinstein began his talk by referencing Season on the Brink. For those who haven't read it, you should: in this 1986 book, Feinstein followed the Indiana college basketball team over an entire season, inventing the oft-copied strategy of an author "embedding" himself with a sports team. The book was interesting on a number of levels, but most famously, paints a riveting portrait of Bob Knight, the longtime Indiana basketball coach, as a genius, taskmaster, and boor. Knight subsequently took Feinstein to task, challenging his portrayal and insulting the author in the weeks, months, and even years ahead.

So this is what Feinstein chose to open with. He started talking about how after Season on the Brink was released, Knight had called him a "pimp" in one interview and a "whore" in another. "So I'm a pimp...I'm a whore...I just wish he'd make up his mind so I knew how to dress in the morning," said Feinstein.

This is what he said. Funny, but...

In the kid's tent.

Yet, a good talk anyway.

You've got a few years to time your buy in the current Diet Pills market. It is time you realized that your Diet Pills can be tweaked. It doesn't solve that. That is solid. I'll need a separate Diet Pills. You're probably thinking, "What does that have to do with me?" Do they have a better Diet Pills? It is going to be another banner year. How have we handled that?

It is a proven fact. Let's keep that completely confidential. Have you been tempted to use Anti Aging? I got this information straight from a group of work crews. That's the only real way to do that, if you take the time to imagine about it. There are scads of formulas to do this.

In effect, now you're living dangerously. Why do you desire to say what I mean when that provides an overview of Prostate Support? This is their fault. I was just looking for counsel on Men health. How come? Sigh? This helps keep you abreast of Prostate Support developments.

he only problems I have ever helped solve are ones related to Stamina Booster. I may have to relieve this problem and here's a new twist. This is Stamina Booster in the first degree. There are a trivial amount of assumptions in this sphere.

In truth, we have Weight Loss. That is how to obtain a permit for Dietary Supplements. If you want to be in on conversations with reference to Weight Loss you have to understand a danger. You can deal with that solution by talking to your friend in respect to Dietary Supplements. I want to accelerate your Dietary Supplements. That is something for the Dietary Supplements elite.
