Episode 271 of the Sports Media Podcast features an NFL conversation with Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post and Lindsay Jones of The Ringer. They are followed by Susan Slusser of The San Francisco Chronicle, who remembers her friend and the writer and editor, Gwen Knapp, who passed away last week at age 61. In this podcast, Jhabvala and Jones discuss how they would approach covering Niners-Eagles and Bengals-Chiefs; the challenges of covering postseason games if you are a beat person from another market; how to differentiate your stories at a Super Bowl; what they want from an NFL analyst and play by play; an update on the possible sale of the Commanders; the best sites for NFL statistics; what they would you say to fans who love the NFL but also hate certain aspects of the game and more. Slusser discusses what made Knapp such a unique and nuanced writer; Knapp’s career as a columnist and writer in Philadelphia and San Francisco; her being one of the first sports journalists to raise doubts about the validity of Lance Armstrong’s performances; her brilliant July 4, 1993 piece after the Phillies completed a doubleheader at 4:40 in the morning; why she move to the editing desk at the New York Times; the outpouring of love for her and some of the pieces that were written on her this week, and more.
