Lowell Cohn spent 40 years in the press box delivering a unique perspective on the biggest stars, events, and storylines in sports. As a former San Francisco Chronicle and Press Democrat columnist, he has seen it all. Cohn’s tell-all book, “Gloves Off,” goes directly into the locker room with him and takes you into the rarified world of sports that you can’t see from the confines of your newspaper.

    Cohn got his Doctorate of Philosophy from Stanford University and was an instructor at the Stanford Creative Writing Program. He became a sports columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle and Press Democrat, was awarded San Francisco Bay Area Sports Columnist of the Year eight times, and he is a member of the Writer’s Division of the NFL Hall of Fame.
