    His funniest call was the "T Mac with a facial. How does that taste? Salty I bet."
    It Was so ESPN OCHO that it will live in my memory forever.

    Great interview as always! Craig’s enthusiasm is contagious and he truly loves his job and is a very good announcer. My only beef is him saying he hopes there’s no national games again this year so he can call all 82. We need at least 4-5 national games!

    His comments about KPJ are not surprising regarding his character and likability, and he’s correct that he and Alpi were the two best players last season.

    Keep the great PODS coming!

    Thanks Don. It was an honor to get to interview a legend. He’s meant a lot to Rockets fans in this city. I wanted him to know we appreciate him.

    I got to meet him at the draft party and he talked to me for at least 30 minutes. Really nice guy. Great experience. Going to have Vanessa on soon too.

    There was a car in Austin that had black vanity plates with a Rockets logo and said “Voice” I wonder if that is Craig’s car?

    Interesting that the only trade he didn’t like was the KMJ trade. Finally found someone who agrees with my thoughts (and fears) about that transaction.
