9/16/2023 0 Comments A Civil War: Army Vs. Navy a Year Inside College Football's Purest Rivalry audiobookAs one former coach says, "At every other school in America, the hardest part of any football player's day is football practice. Feinstein sets the scene by recounting how rigid military discipline and withering academic standards combine to make football at West Point and Annapolis unlike football at any other division I schools. Still, to Cadets and Midshipmen alike, no other event during the year means as much as the chance to wrest honor from their rival academy. Once a contest that factored heavily in deciding the national college football championship, the annual Army-Navy showdown has gradually been relegated to something approaching sideshow status. "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.Feinstein, author of the bestselling A Good Walk Spoiled (1995), again delivers the goods, this time chronicling the 1995 season of the West Point and Annapolis football teams, culminating in their annual game. Rome considers Feinstein to be one of the most intelligent people he's interviewed on the show, and occasionally teases him about an over-the-phone interview that was interrupted by Feinstein's daughter. Feinstein sometimes fills in as a guest host on The Jim Rome Show. The name was given by Tony Kornheiser because of the similarities in his temper to John McEnroe. One of Feinstein's nicknames is "Junior", despite not having the suffix in his name. Feinstein was a sports writer for the The Chronicle while enrolled at Duke University, where he graduated in 1977. Although he offered his resignation to the Naval Academy, they rejected it because of his contrition and have invited him to continue to participate in future broadcasts. He immediately removed himself from the rest of the broadcast, except to return at the end to apologize on the air. During a radio broadcast of the football game between the Naval Academy and Duke University on October 1, 2005, Feinstein blurted an obscenity over-the-air in response to what he perceived to be a bad call on the field. He is also a frequent contributor to The Tony Kornheiser Show. He is a columnist for the Washington Post, an author, is a guest commentator on NPR, and does color commentary for United States Naval Academy football games. John Feinstein is an American sportswriter and commentator.
