I have never heard him ask a blunt question. In almost every interview he throws softballs right down the middle.
"Ok, Mr. Athlete, tell us about your struggle/hardship/short-changing and how you had to go through years of intensive therapy before you could even contemplate the thought of returning to the game. I mean, you absolutely stood right up to the plate and gave it your all. You went out there and manned up. Share with us how the hard work changed your life and has effected your loved ones. What we are talking about is owning it. You stepped your game up and admitted it. And now it looks like you have what it takes to be a champ/take it to the next level/be a leader on this team..."
"yeah, Jim. It wasn't easy, you know?"
If I were an athlete I'd be happy to go on his show and be guaranteed a positive opportunity to raise my profile. The higher my profile, the bigger my cheques.
I know he's popular, I just don't see the brillance.
I agree his show is unique.
