Paul Dehner Jr.

Paul Dehner Jr. covers the Cincinnati Bengals for The Athletic, but our conversation on this podcast isn't about the Cincinnati Bengals. 

It's about how he covers them.

Paul is a friend of mine, but beyond that, I'm a huge fan of his work, and his approach to his work.  So I talked with him about how he's avoided being a crusty sportswriter. 

We also discussed how he chose to go into sportswriting, why he chose not to get into television, how his relationship with Marvin Lewis evolved, and what it was like covering sports in Key West, which not only sounds like my dream job, but also included coverage of deep sea fishing tournaments.

If you're a Bengals fan, you'll enjoy this conversation.  If you couldn't care less about the Bengals, you'll also enjoy this conversation.
