Podcast appearances and mentions of John Eisenberg

Longtime Baltimore sports writer John Eisenberg returns for another season of Orioles baseball and an announcement about his continuing journey through the history of the franchise – even as he enjoys the present and opines about the future. And, of course, the venerable columnist brings out his journalism sniffer on the Justin Tucker scandal and the NFL investigation. The post John Eisenberg joins Nestor to discuss more Birdtapes, Orioles updates and Ravens realities with Justin Tucker first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.

My guest for Episode #523 of the Lean Blog Interviews Podcast is Mike Eisenberg. He's been a filmmaker since 2010 with his production company, Tall Tale Productions, after completing his B.A. in Journalism at Marietta College in Ohio. Episode page with video, transcript, and more Mike's father, Dr. John Eisenberg, was a leader in national patient safety efforts as the director of the Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality (AHRQ) until his passing in 2002. His legacy is prevalent throughout Mike's presentation, as well as his approach. His new documentary, released last September, is titled “The Pitch: Patient Safety's Next Generation.”  He previously joined us in Episode #329, where we discussed his film "To Err is Human." In 2006, Mike was drafted by the Cleveland Indians in the MLB Draft and played 3 seasons of professional baseball before beginning his filmmaking career. He now speaks at hospitals, universities, and conferences, where his insight provides a new perspective on a problem that persists across the globe. In today's episode, we explore the evolution of patient safety and the transformative role of technology in healthcare. The conversation dives into how innovations—from advanced command centers to cutting-edge virtual reality and AI applications—are redefining how hospitals prevent and respond to medical errors. The discussion challenges the conventional blame-and-shame approach and instead highlights the importance of building systems that foster trust and resilience among healthcare professionals and patients alike. We also examine the nuances of integrating technology into complex healthcare environments, discussing how effective communication, standardized protocols, and smart design can work together to minimize human error. Drawing insightful parallels with industries like aviation, the episode offers a fresh perspective on the critical need for systemic improvements and the potential for new technological solutions to drive the next generation of patient safety. Questions, Notes, and Highlights: How is technology transforming patient safety in healthcare? What role do advanced command centers, virtual reality, and AI play in preventing medical errors? How can healthcare shift away from a blame-and-shame culture? What strategies build trust and resilience among healthcare professionals and patients? How do effective communication, standardized protocols, and smart design minimize human error? What lessons can be learned from the aviation industry regarding safety and error management? What challenges arise when integrating technology into complex healthcare environments? How can innovation drive the next generation of patient safety? This podcast is part of the #LeanCommunicators network. 

This Day in Legal History: United States v. Peters DecidedOn February 20, 1809, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its ruling in United States v. Peters, a case that reinforced the authority of federal courts over state legislatures. The dispute arose when the Pennsylvania legislature attempted to defy a federal court order regarding a financial judgment. Chief Justice John Marshall, writing for the Court, held that allowing states to override federal judicial decisions would threaten the constitutional structure and weaken the judiciary's role as an independent branch of government. The ruling reaffirmed the supremacy of federal law, a principle later cemented by cases like McCulloch v. Maryland and Cooper v. Aaron.The case stemmed from a long-running legal battle over a prize ship seized during the Revolutionary War. A Pennsylvania state court had refused to comply with a federal ruling ordering restitution to the ship's rightful owners. In his opinion, Marshall emphasized that state governments could not interfere with federal judicial authority, warning that such actions would lead to anarchy. Pennsylvania resisted the decision, but the ruling set a lasting precedent that federal courts have the final say on legal disputes involving national law.This decision played a crucial role in shaping American federalism by ensuring that states could not undermine federal judicial power. It reinforced the constitutional principle that the judiciary must remain independent to uphold the rule of law. In doing so, United States v. Peters helped establish the judiciary as a coequal branch of government, capable of enforcing its decisions even in the face of state opposition.President Donald Trump has announced plans to nominate several former advisers from his first term to key Justice Department positions. John Eisenberg has been tapped to lead the national security division, while Brett Shumate will head the civil division. Shumate, currently acting in that role, has been involved in defending the administration against lawsuits related to federal worker dismissals and agency restructuring. He previously worked at the law firm Jones Day and defended Trump's unsuccessful attempt to limit birthright citizenship.  Eisenberg, who served as legal adviser to the National Security Council during Trump's first term, has held multiple senior roles in the Justice Department and clerked for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Patrick Davis is set to lead the Office of Legislative Affairs, marking his third time in the department. All three appointments require Senate confirmation.  The nominations follow Trump's directive to remove all U.S. attorneys appointed by former President Joe Biden, claiming the Justice Department had been politicized. This move underscores Trump's continued efforts to reshape the department with loyalists from his previous administration.Trump picks first-term loyalists for top Justice Department posts | ReutersMastercard's £200 million settlement of a long-running lawsuit over card fees is facing opposition, raising concerns about the future of UK class action funding. The lawsuit, originally valued at £10 billion, was brought on behalf of 44 million British consumers, meaning each claimant would receive only about £2.27 if all sought payment. The deal is being challenged by litigation funder Innsworth Capital, which stands to receive half the settlement, arguing that the terms are unfair given its £45 million investment in the case.  The Competition Appeal Tribunal in London must now decide on the first contested settlement in the UK's emerging class action framework. The case comes amid growing uncertainty in the sector following a 2023 Supreme Court ruling that invalidated many litigation funding agreements. Further legal tests are expected, as the Court of Appeal is set to review funding arrangements for lawsuits against Apple and Sony later this year.  Consumer advocate Walter Merricks, who led the case, and Mastercard defend the settlement, stating that economic assessments now value the claim at under £200 million due to prior legal setbacks. The tribunal's decision could significantly impact future litigation funding in the UK.Mastercard landmark deal challenged in test for UK class action funding | ReutersA U.S. judge is scrutinizing a Justice Department request to drop corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, raising concerns about political interference. The request, ordered by a Trump-appointed official, has led to multiple resignations within the Justice Department, with critics arguing it ties Adams' legal fate to his cooperation with Trump's immigration policies. Adams, facing reelection, has denied any wrongdoing, while some Democrats fear dismissing the case would make him indebted to the Trump administration. The Justice Department's request to drop the charges "without prejudice" leaves the possibility of future prosecution, a move former federal prosecutors warn could be used as leverage.  The judge overseeing the case, Dale Ho, is a former civil rights attorney and Biden appointee whose nomination faced Republican opposition. Ho has a background in voting rights advocacy and previously challenged Trump administration policies before the Supreme Court. His handling of the Adams case will be the most high-profile decision of his judicial career. Legal experts note that while Ho cannot force prosecutors to continue the case, he can question their motives, particularly the timing of a potential re-filing after the New York mayoral election.  This case underscores broader concerns about the Justice Department's independence under Trump, with critics accusing his administration of using federal prosecutions to reward allies and punish opponents. Adams has previously claimed, without evidence, that the charges were political retribution from the Biden administration. Meanwhile, New York's political establishment is divided, with some calling for Adams' resignation and others waiting to see how the case unfolds. Governor Kathy Hochul has reportedly met with political leaders to discuss Adams' future, further intensifying the controversy.US judge questions 'unusual' request to drop Eric Adams case | ReutersWho is Dale Ho, the judge deciding whether to drop Eric Adams' case? | Reuters This is a public episode.

This is Part Two of our conversation with longtime columnist and author JOHN EISENBERG. We talk about his golf game, and he faces (and aces) the dreaded SIX PACK! We talk about his new book, "Rocket Men", which offers an inside look at the Black quarterbacks whose skill and grit transformed the NFL; and some of his other books including "The League", which focuses on the pioneering sportsmen who kept the league alive in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, when its challenges were many and its survival was not guaranteed; and "The Streak" the book dedicated to Cal Ripken pursuit and eventually takeover of Lou Gehrig's Iron Man record. This is a great listen from a terrific storyteller.

As a kid, I dreamt of going to the biggest sporting events; Super Bowls and World Series games, NBA Finals and the Masters. It all seemed to glamorous and historic. We talk with long time BALTIMORE SUN columnist JOHN EISENBERG about how lucky he was to have covered them all. But he also points out that for columnists, who have to write SOMETHING every day, it's a job, and not an easy one. After almost 30 years with the Sun, John evolved into an amazing author of books like "Rocket Men", "The League" and others. We'll talk about that in Part 2 of our conversation, which comes out later this week.

00:00:-30:00: John Eisenberg chats about his new book Rocket Men. From Amazon: In Rocket Men, John Eisenberg offers the definitive history of Black quarterbacks in the NFL—men who shaped not only the history of football but the cause of civil rights in America. From early pioneers like Fritz Pollard to groundbreaking modern standouts like Marlin Briscoe and James “Shack” Harris, Black quarterbacks had to be twice as good as their white counterparts to get playing time—and even then, many never got that chance. That didn't begin to change in earnest until the 1990s and the 2000s, when racist notions about what Black quarterbacks supposedly couldn't do began to fade, paving the way for today's stars like Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson. Drawing on deep historical research and exclusive interviews with Black quarterbacks and players, coaches, and talent evaluators who have worked alongside them, Rocket Men is a celebration of the athletes and activists who transformed the game.

The Black Quarterbacks Who Revolutionized Pro Football.

Election day is almost here. And there is more on the ballot than candidates running for office. Voters in many municipalities are also being asked to consider ballot measures related to local governance. In the city of New Orleans, voters will examine three propositions on their ballots.    Every election cycle, the New Orleans-based Bureau of Governmental Research takes a close look at ballot measures affecting the city and makes recommendations to voters. Executive director Rebecca Mowbray joins us today for more on the organization's review of the Oct. ballot. As the saltwater wedge slowly makes its way up the Mississippi River, residents across the state are preparing to deal with the possibility of salinity in their drinking water. Officials have asked Louisianans not to hoard water, but many are already doing what researchers call “panic buying.” Nina Cleveland, an adjunct professor of emergency & security studies at Tulane University's School of Professional Advancement, studies the factors behind panic buying. She joins us now for more on the science –  and to offer some healthy alternatives. It's football season, which means New Orleans' bars are already packed on Sunday afternoons with the black and gold of the “Who Dat” nation. While more than half of NFL players are Black – a statistic that has remained steady for years – 2023 was the first year that two Black starting quarterbacks faced off in the Super Bowl. Why did it take more than 100 years of NFL history to get there?  That's the subject of John Eisenberg's new book, “Rocket Men: The Black Quarterbacks Who Revolutionized Pro Football.” The Gulf States Newsroom's Joseph King talked with Eisenburg about the grueling journey for Black players and coaches in the league.

Big Data is one of the most important resources in the world, yet the rules for its protection are just beginning to develop. The danger comes into focus by the possibility of a nation-state cyber operation attacking Big Data and having a major detrimental impact on the functioning of another nation-state. Consider, for example, a cyber attack corrupting, stealing, or destroying the records of important financial institutions, causing widespread confusion and panic. Would such an attack warrant a kinetic, lethal response, with bullets and bombs? This issue implicates the UN Charter, the Law of War, International Humanitarian Law, jus in bello and jus ad bellum, attempts to formulate rules in the Tallinn Manual, conflicting priorities among nations, and pure geopolitics. Professor Paul Stephan of the University of Virginia Law School and John Eisenberg, Former Deputy Counsel to the President and NSC Legal Advisor, joined us to explore the issue. Mike Lewis was a naval aviator, and then a renowned law professor, widely admired by other scholars and practitioners. He was a great friend of the Federalist Society, appearing at dozens of lawyer and student chapter events, as well as the 2014 National Convention. He was also a member of the Executive Committee of the Society's International & National Security Law Practice Group. Each year, the Practice Group holds a Teleforum in his honor.

Some of the highlights include; 1.27: Best coaching moment: Problem-solving - impacting the way a team and individuals warm up (teaching correct running technique). 4.51: Worst coaching moment: Being an introverted coach (extreme shyness) and being nervous about trying to prove her knowledge. 7.14: Introversion is a superpower - we need a diversity of coaches. 11.07: Sliding Doors: Moving from being a teacher (failing) and becoming a coach and starting the Female Coaching Network. 14.46: What Makes a Great Coach? "Passion for learning." (Empathy, selflessness, and passion). The minute you make coaching about yourself, that is when the problems arise. How long have you been learning while you are coaching? 17.53: Learning about how people hold themselves and how they explain themselves. The importance of female role models delivering their convictions authentically. 23.20: How do you create change? Remember why you exist? To support the athletes. If you are stuck in your ways, either leave or keep learning. How can you adapt to the times? To the athlete? To the sport? Park your ego! 28.12: When did you realize that questions are the answer? 32.45: The backstory of The Female Coaching Network - It's a platform that connects women, asks questions, and then delivers change in a strategic and sustainable way. Early Mission: Convincing sports that we need women. You can't create change by being passive - it's time to get strategic. Nikey Sponsorship: Research the landscape of the female coach and athletes. Mission: Being a bridge between the coach, the athlete, and the federation needs to be successful. 38.49: Male champions of change - Ask questions to gain knowledge and then take action on the answers in order to create change!

In addition to her recommendation of What Makes a Great Coach?, Vicky also strongly endorses the following book recommendations around cultures and systems: Zanballer by RR Knudson - a book recommended to me by a friend who now coaches in the NFL, published in 1972 and probably not in print anymore! Its a fictional story about a girl in high school who would rather play football than be a cheerleader. As a woman of a generation where there were no football teams for girls at school, and certainly, no female coaches to lead many of the sports I played, this book put a smile on my face all the way through and reminds me why day in, day out, I fight for the rights of women and girls in sport. Forty Million Dollar Slaves by Williams C. Rhoden - a fascinating read of the history of black athletes in sport. It gives you a deep understanding not only of the journey of sports rationalisation and how it affected black athletes, but also a view as to how sports governance and structures can be oppressive by taking advantage of talent when it suits. Culture By Design by David J Friedman - a brilliant framework of how to intentionally design, or redesign culture within an organisation. The author has created 8 steps in which to work through, starting with what culture actually is, to how you communicate and live that culture. Whether you follow the steps directly or not, it's a great guide with plenty of tips and advice that are very much needed in today's sporting world. Fix the System, not the Women by Laura Bates - is a terrifying dive into the multitude of areas in which women are discriminated against in everyday life in the Western world. Her book echos our message at the FCN ‘fix the system, not the women' as we push for change in the sports systems that create barriers for the progression of female coaches. Whilst many federations continue to plough resources into creating ‘women coach development programmes', the actual barriers that exist to women reaching the elite levels is the system of poor recruitment practices, bullying, sexual abuse, unavailable networks and lack visibility. The League by John Eisenberg - is a very nerdy look into the NFL and how it became the mammoth league it is today. Whilst it is specific to American Football and the NFL, it gives you a good understanding into the rationalisation of the league, and all its good, bad and ugly we see today. I think it's an important read for anyone working in sports development, for similar reasons as the book 'Forty Million Dollar Slaves', it widens your understanding of the development of sport, how and why it was rationalised for certain groups in society, and why it's difficult for women to break through into its leadership.
