Things Not To Say In Your Postgame Interview
Remember the scene in Bull Durham, where Crash is telling Nuke that the only way that you ever speak to the press is in tired, boring; sound-bytes and cliches?
You do? Well maybe someone needs to have that talk with Marcus Brown, who gives us entirely too much information after his teams victory, about what helped him to have a great game:
Dude, I don’t care how much greasing your hands up for the big game worked for you; that is not what you tell the press. Let’s try that again:
“I had a good night’s sleep. I came out ready to play, and I relied on my teammates to help me get the job done. God willing, I hope to perform as well next game.”
That is the boring-ass speech that you’re supposed to give. Not a homage to the gods of porn and popcorn chicken. Gotta love that he fits the phrases, “gotta suck it up” and “grind it out” into the interview after showing the porno love. The subliminal mind will get you every time.
