An Interview with Lee Russakoff

“You want to stand out. You want to be different. You want to take controversy head on. To be successful you need to do all three. Misusing hyperbole is often a shortcut … it’s often a way to make a name for yourself – and to move the click needle for your boss – without much research or thought.”

“A lot of writers forget how lucky we actually are. We cover sports for a living. How incredible is that? Someone actually pays me to watch games and give my opinion on issues like MLB replay. Things I was doing in my spare time seven years ago. Things I would do – and have done – for free. It’s not easy to break in. It’s not easy to stay. But nothing great is easy.”
