Great phrase. But that’s why I didn’t post the Curry interview yesterday, because while it was silly and fun, there wasn’t anything really interesting to take out of it.

But as far as Morrow mentioning Jack, yeah it did cross my mind that they would ask about Jack’s distractions next, but I can understand why Fitz didn’t do it. Partly, the issue is starting to quiet down as Jack starts playing, and he has promised to shut up, so no reason to stir it up now. And partly it’s because Fitz does travel with these guys, so I understand that he doesn’t want to trap any of the players in an interview, since he’ll have to face them on the bus and plane later. Not to mention he’s probably developed more of a bond with these players than say, Ralph or Tom, just because he’s with them so much. To a degree, he’s sort of one of them, so he has to support them.

So because of this, I understand that Fitz will usually focus on ways to pump up a guy during his interviews, or just have fun, instead of cracking down on them with harder issues. But that’s why I also don’t try to take too much out of his interviews. Jim Barnett sort of does the same thing, but he’s not as overly and annoyingly optimistic and enthusiastic as Fitz is.
