Pat Jordan

 From Washington Capitals Media Relationship Blog:

One thing you may not have seen yet is the January issue of Maxim, which is now on newsstands. The monthly magazine features a two-page article on Ovechkin and provides some insight into the MVP's life away from the rink. It was written by Pat Jordan, a freelance journalist for 40 years and an author who was recently called "a national treasure" by Booklist.

If you haven't read J.P.'s or my post "Don't buy Maxim", I can repeat it again, don't waste your money to buy it. And not just that, boycott it. It portraits Ovechkin with the stereotype used for Russian Mafia. I googled Pat Jordan and here is an excerpt from his article:

In January, I got an assignment from the New York Times Magazine to write a profile of Josh Beckett, the Red Sox pitcher.

...But, alas, in a single-sentence e-mail from his agent, Beckett declined to be interviewed by me or anyone else. I could understand that. Why would he want me poking around in the closet of his life? Maybe I'd spend four days with him, and catch him saying something derogatory, in a moment of weakness or fatigue, about his manager, Terry Francona, or about Manny Ramirez.

Here we go, he just did it to Ovechkin. Beckett's agent is way smarter than Ovechkin's... Couldn't get an interview from Beckett? Let's try an easy target, a hockey player, he won't refuse...

And one more thing, I am pretty sure Beckett will give an interview to someone else, but Jordan...
