For the long-time faithful fans of the Georgetown Hoyas, news of the passing of legendary sports writer John Feinstein on March 13, 2025, at the age of 69, might stir a confluence of emotions. Feinstein, a longtime columnist for The Washington Post and a prolific author with numerous bestsellers to his name, held a prominent place in the landscape of sports journalism, and his career was intertwined with the story of Georgetown basketball and its iconic coach, John Thompson Jr.
John was an absolute titan in our industry who I admired from afar growing up reading his books and columns.
