When one of the absolute legends of a sport you cover wants to know what got you in the same room together ... well, you better have a good answer. Here's mine.
Loved this piece Rob. It reminds me of the many events and individuals that you experience in the crazy profession of covering sports for a living. I, like you, got hooked on the adrenaline rush of covering a major event and the opportunity of interviewing individuals responsible for making that event special. So your piece resonated with me on so many different levels.
There really is no life like it, right? It's the reason I got into this business in the first place (and I'm sure it was true for you, too). It is something I miss day to day on the job, especially now that I live in a world in which breaking news doesn't seem to matter as much anymore. I think I may do some more pieces like this over time, just to delve back into the 'good old days' of my journalism career. Glad this one hit home with you in many ways.
