The Daily interviews sports legend Deford

Once in a while, it's nice to hear how the professionals do it. After graduating from Princeton, Frank Deford wrote for Sports Illustrated from 1962 to 1989 and rejoined the magazine in 1998. He appears on NPR's Morning Edition radio show, and HBO's "Real Sports." He has written 11 books, two of which have been turned into movies, one original screenplay, and has been voted sports writer of the year six times by the National Association of Sportscasters and Sportswriters, of which he is a member of the Hall of Fame. After speaking at the EPIIC panel entitled "Scribes, Satellites, and Sports: Media Impact" on Friday, Feb. 11, the Daily had the opportunity to sit down with the man The Sporting News has called "the most influential sports voice among members of the American print media."
