Biography
Mike Lupica (b. 1952) is one of the best-known and widely read sports columnists in the
United States. He began his newspaper career with the New York Post in 1975, at
the age of 23, covering the New York Knicks. In 1977, he became the youngest
columnist ever at a New York paper with the Daily News, where he currently
writes four syndicated columns a week. He has also worked for New York Newsday
and The National. Since 1987, Lupica has written "The Sporting Life"
column for Esquire magazine. His work has also appeared in Sport magazine, World
Tennis, Tennis, Golf Digest, Playboy, Sports Illustrated and Parade. Lupica is
also a regular on ESPN's Sunday morning show, "The Sports Reporters."
Lupica has written or co-written several nonfiction books: Reggie, the
autobiography of Reggie Jackson (Villard, 1984); Parcells, an
autobiography of former Giants and Patriots coach Bill Parcells (Bonus Books,
1987); Wait 'Till Next Year, co-written with novelist and screenwriter
William Goldman (Bantam, 1988); Shooting From The Lip, a collection of
columns (Bonus Books, 1988); Mad As Hell, exploring the divisive issues
compromising professional sports (G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1996) and Summer of '98,

In addition, he has written several novels: Dead Air, Extra Credits, Limited
Partner, Jump, Full Court Press and Bump and Run, a satire
about the world of professional football (G.P. Putnam's Sons, 2000). Dead Air
