This week's guest is former Sports Illustrated writer, and New York Times best selling author, Jeff Pearlman. Jeff talks about the love/hate relationship he has with writing books, how he once hated, but now embraces his infamous 1999 interview with John Rocker, and that time he interviewed a Nazi.
