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..
