heh...and Rudy is on KKRW(Classic rock 93.7) right now... nothing current...just talking about stuff.
He's just promoting his celebrity softball tournament...don't look for too much juicy info as teams and players are restricted from discussing anything until the new CBA is completely ratified.
well....the teams are anyway. but I wouldnt expect much as far as juicy info...I seriously doubt Tmac is gonna let go with anything managemnt is up to.
Update.. Blah.. plug.. plug.. I like baseball and speaking of baseball these are some softball questions huh?? We are going to be in the playoffs next year, Stro is going to help us if we had him last year the playoffs we could have been over the top.. Stro is a beast. talked of Stros dunk on "his boy" (YAO) With the coachstaff we have it's going to be great. T-mac said he lobbied hard for Stro and it says alot that Stro came here and wants to win. Looked up to Charles Oakley and Kevin Willis to help him get his head on durring the early years in the NBA Said Stro is going to the piece of the puzzle the rockets need to win.. Said he loves to bring a smile to JVGS face.
What comes to mind? Jeff Van Gundy- "Best coach I ever played for" "Wish he would smile, can't please him, such a competitor"
GOOD LORD, Granato is a horrible interviewer! Granato- What's the first thing that comes to your mind when I say TJ Ford? TMac- (awkward silence)..........uh.....I don't really know TJ Ford that well.... Granato- What about Clyde Drexler, do you know Clyde Drexler? TMac- No, not really... WTF kind of interview was that? He barely mentioned Swift or Head. Actually TMac was the one that brought up Swift. It didn't occur to John to ask about him?
lol. The 2 biggest acquisitions of the summer so far and they didn't even ask him about them?! Insane. "Soooo.... Jell-o... what's your favorite flavor, TMac?" "Uuuh"
I think he's not allowed to talk about the team till the CBA is done. And his only real reason for going on air was to promote his softball game. oh yeah the 610 morning ppl aint that great
Aaah, if that's true, then it makes sense... I guess. But then he's lobbied for Stro in public hasn't he? And technically he is talking about the team if the paraphrasing of what he said is accurate.
He also mentioned batting practice with Roger Clemens, he was hitting line drives and making solid hits against him with the aluminum bat. Roger was upset he keeps making solid contact and threw one by his head...then he made Tmac use a wooden bat...he wasn't as successful hitting with the wooden bat...
My God, that was an aweful interview. I can understand that they wanted to plug T-Mac's event, and that's fine, but they could have at least asked some questions about offseason player interests. Granato is an idiot. Here's the interview from 610 (13.5 meg MP3) The interview from 104 KRBE at 8:30 was even worse. Here's the interview from 104 KRBE (9.3 meg MP3)
