You have to withstand some criticism, particularly from economists from the leading newspaper in your own backyard.

Welcome to the Jim Rome Podcast and welcome to episode number 328 where my guest this week is an 11-time Emmy Award winning

investigative journalist he's a best-selling author and a television and film

producer he has written 13 books including six New York Times bestsellers. He is

none other than my guy Armin Kitan. Armin has been a fixture of quality sports

journalism for decades. He has been a correspondent with CBS News, ABC News, E-SPans

Outside the Lines, and HBO's Real Sports with Brian Gumble. His latest book is

called The Price, What It Takes to win in college football's era of chaos,

and obviously it is a fascinating and topical subject.

So it seemed like the perfect time

to invite Armand back for his return

to the original side hustle, so let's get right to it.

It's episode 328 with the legendary multi-platform journal Armand-Kitan and it's coming at you right now.

So Armin, it's been more than a minute since you and I last chatted.

Bring me up today before we talk about your great new book.

How are you living?

How has your summer gone?

What's going on, Armin?

Well, I'm a grandfather for two times now.

We have a two-year-old, two years and two months, Brooks, he's a piece of work.
