David Duchovny

Lesley and David Duchovny got off to a bad start. She bought his book "Bucky F### Dent", thinking he was a Red Sox fan. But no, he's a crazy Yankee fan, having grown-up in the post-Mantle years where he "cried when Mel Stottlemyre lost" and "loved Bobby Mercer." Even though he actually met Ted Williams once, he still makes fun of Fenway Park. He has opinions on everything from palming the ball in the NBA to Kobe getting too many calls in a conference final. A summa cum laude graduate of Princeton, Duchovny studied Pete Carril's "offense that was their defense" and wants to develop a basketball show. He called the 1970 Knicks "the most beautiful basketball ever played until the Golden State Warriors." His favorite book as a child was "The Open Man" by Dave DeBusschere - this from a man who's a few credits shy of a doctoral degree in comparative literature from Yale. And, oh, he's also written four novels and recorded three albums. You'll enjoy the conversation.
