How did our school manage to get John Clayton, of all journalists? Well, our college counselor has known him since his time back when he was at school with Clayton at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh. He and I had been talking about Clayton during our semiannual college counselor meeting between the student and counselor, when I revealed my plans to become a sports journalist. That's when he told me about his relationship with Clayton, and we talked for about ten minutes about him. I told him Clayton was one of my idols, because Clayton knows everything about sports. That's why he's "The Professor with No Successor". And then a week ago, at approximately the same time you are reading this, we were informed he was coming, due to my counselor.
So that's the story behind him coming, but now is the important part.
Since I get to interview him, it's the opportunity to make a huge impression. If I do well, I have a potential high profile contact. But in order to do well, I'm obviously going to need questions. I have plenty I'm working on, but I would like to know, of all you who look at this, do you have any questions you would like asked?

It can be anything to do with how he became a journalist, current sports topics, journalism ethics, basically anything! Shoot some ideas in the comments if you want anything asked. If you need a little background for the questions, here is some info:
Clayton graduated from Duquesne University, so he is a big Steelers fan. While being a Steelers fan, he also knows the Seahawks inside and out, being that he lives up here in Renton, WA and covers the Seahawks. He has a weekly sports radio show on AM 710 ESPN Seattle from 9-12 in the morning every Saturday. Clayton was inducted as a member of the writer's wing of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2007, honoring his work as a writer covering the NFL.
