St. Louis, MO (WFN) -- Like many teenagers, Graham Bensinger loves sports and has an after school job. Still, the 17-year-old St. Louis student is a little different. His after school job is his own sports radio show, and instead of reading about Serena Williams or Barry Bonds, he gets to interview them personally. Ever since August, Bensinger has been hosting a weekly show for Sporting News Radio where he talks with top athletes. He recently spoke with Arizona Cardinals running back Emmitt Smith and Minnesota Vikings quarterback Daunte Culpepper and admits his young age has helped him land interviews with stars who ordinarily hate talking to the media. Rival journalists be warned: Bensinger takes his job as seriously as professional sportswriters -- even flying to Eagle, Colorado, to cover the Kobe Bryant rape case. But while Bensinger loves the life of a teen sportscaster, he admits his classmates in high school aren't particularly impressed.
