RIP John Feinstein

Certainly seemed from that clip that Wilbon respected him immensely, but the two were not friends.

I found that a bit weird too. I know it's the PTI format, everything short, but still. Maybe if Kornheiser was there it would have been more.

Wasn't much of a tribute.
Anyone who knew John has a story of where he was less than diplomatic to them. But we also know the times he helped or cared far outnumbered the former.

True dat.

Here's another one, from the golf world, with a tease:

On a sports journalism forum, the veterans gleefully predicted I'd never land a job.

I wonder if we could find that thread.

This is a really nice tribute by Shane.

John was someone I knew personally from covering the same sports events from time to time. I found him splendid company and liked him immensely. But I could also imagine that if I were a c0-worker at the same publication, I might find him trying from time to time.

I don't know, I appreciate the "measured" tributes to him.

None of us are perfect or saints, so it feels like a more honest appreciation of him, rather than the "he was Jesus on Earth" takes that so often come out after a person's death.
