Thanks for the tip, Matt in the Crown. I'll try to be mindful of making annoying noises during interviews. Never heard that before but I'm always trying to get better.

As for how I interview the guests... I'm pretty fucking good at it because 1) I'm coachable 2) I've been coached. The guy Justin Craig brought in from Canada a few years ago enlightened those of us who paid attention:

1) ONE QUESTION AT A TIME. Ask double barreled questions and you give the guest control of the interview.

2) AVOID HYPERBOLE UNLESS IT'S ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL. We have four hours everyday. The reason to get a guest on is to get HIS opinion.
3) DON'T ANSWER THE QUESTION AFTER YOU'VE ASKED IT. Self explanatory.

Those are Cliff's notes on the seminar. They're all excellent tips. Now listen carefully and see if I practice what I just wrote.

Dan, please explain those two points to Mully and Hanley in detail.

nsj, I think it was Ben Gordon.

He's British so Mully loves him.

Ok, but he's not from the UK; he went ot UConn.

Yes, it was Ben Gordon. I don't think I've ever heard a worse interview where the subject could actually speak English. It was abysmal.

Seriously.

Also, can you resume your efforts to demand the proper pronunciation of "Urlacher?"

I don't know if this was anywhere else, but speaking of interviews, the Michael Irvin interview was outstanding. I normally PTFB if Irvin is on any platform.

Yep, you two beat me to the punch. Mully does this with EVERY guest they have on. That's why I thought it was awesome a couple of weeks ago when Cooper said, "Well, I'm not really sure what your question is but..."

redskingreg: i've been aware of "yestuhday" .... my version of schuster's "evybody"... and i don't think i've said it in awhile. lemme know if i do again and i'll donate $50 to the charity of your choice.

your memory of mjh and the canadian interview coach is accurate. we bitched and moaned about it for several days leading up to the seminar. less than five minutes into the dude's lecture.... i realized how much all of us in sportsradio need stuff like that.
