I thought it was Mad Dog. He usually talks about it first for several minutes and then asks "can you talk about that"

That phrase drives me nuts too. Jim Rome does it a lot. One of the reasons I stopped listening to his program.

I'm not a big fan of interviews in general. Just play the games. I really don't care what happens before or after.

I don't expect much from Mad Dog, but when you see/hear alleged "professionals" do it, it's so painful. Always reminds me of the Chris Farley/Paul McCartney skit..
