Amazing writer, probably one of the finest in the world in my estimation. He can write about any sport and he'll find nuance and insight veteran observers haven't noticed.
His points about Urban Meyer are interesting. I think Urban has an unhealthy obsession with winning that did him in once he stopped winning. He started acting like a sociopath once his philosophies didn’t work with the Jaguars, which was his first coaching experience where a team of his struggled. I think he’s an absolutely brilliant coach and at his core a good man, he just allowed the pursuit of winning to corrupt him as a person.
And yet, what does Tiger do just a few weeks later? And you claim to know the mind of Tiger Woods? You will NEVER know or understand what beats in the heart of true champion and legend unless he tells you PERSONALLY
Not unlike Andre Agassi watch fans emulate him while not knowing who he was. We know that money and fame don't = happiness, but that doesn't stop 99% of folks from pursing it for that purpose anyhow.
I still come back to this interview years later. Amazing interview thank you!

Unbelievably fascinating. As others have said, I could listen to Thompson talk for hours.
Loved listening to this interview today. Definitely plan to read his book.
I love wright. can't wait to read his book.
What a fascinating and insightful writer. I would have loved to hear more about his thoughts on Ronaldo and Messi
Wonderful interview with one of the best sportswriters alive.
This is the best guest next to Reggie Miller on the show. I've love his thought process and analysis.
Reggg is the best
This interview was outstanding. I wish it was longer.
Great writer ....just an amzing storyteller.
Amazing interview and Book. Read it!!!!!
Cristiano is amazing still up to this day he keeps dominating.
Great interview
Loved this
Wright Thompson is a genius
Tremendous insight. Although Jordan is a tough minded introvert. Tiger is a very sensitive guy who feels deeper than most of us can comprehend.
Wright is right. The best.
Wright Thomson is the guy who has one blazer that he wears for every occasion and washes it once a year😂😂
Wow...I need to get this book

When you realize that the people who are in Eldtick Woods world have non disclosure agreements tells you a lot about the man.
What a fantastic interview. Can’t wait to read the book!
It's not going to happen, but I would like to see his take on Jon Jones or the Gracie Family.
Bobby Fischer, perfect example

Momma says I have a reading problem but I sure would love to read his book..mmmmhmmm
jordan's idea of forcing lebron left is still so funny. lebron is left handed, dude.
pat riley story... wow
Wright really needs to get some time with Tiger
And yet, what does Tiger do just a few weeks later? And you claim to know the mind of Tiger Woods? You will NEVER know or understand what beats in the heart of true champion and legend unless he tells you PERSONALLY
Bet he likes golf now!
There's no "there... there"
Good Sh-t!
How can one speak about someone else’s life .. about someone else’s thoughts I don’t get it .
Because we're all the same.
He probably is off the charts empathetic and off the charts intelligent

This guy's trying to go so deep and get inside their head he has no idea their real thought process and decisions they made lol
It's not impossible to know what people think. You just have to put yourself in their circumstances. Every little detail. Then ask what you would do.
Tiger woods is selfish, conceited, and narcissistic. I'm not sure that anyone needs to read this book to know this.
Damn that was a great interview
This guy’s on his last 2 minutes here, poor bastard.
Not unlike Andre Agassi watch fans emulate him while not knowing who he was. We know that money and fame don't = happiness, but that doesn't stop 99% of folks from pursing it for that purpose anyhow.
This guy is brilliant.
Good interview.
