He still hasn't gotten a review of his Los Angeles-centric book here in L.A., but Donnell Alexander got a break today -- his Deadline L.A. appearance ran for an extra half hour due to a technical snafu on KPFK's network. In the second half of the show he even made a bit of news. Alexander, a former writer for ESPN Magazine as well as the LA Weekly, let slip that he may ghost write an autobiography of baseball star Barry Bonds. A non-disclosure agreement prevents him from talking more about it.
