3/22

ESPN Radio: Randy Galloway and Co.

John Salley is on a phone interview with his big promotion with TIVO. He gave the station some TIVOs to give away and a special promotion...so that had me hooked.

Then they got to basketball talk....I don't know how I made it through another one of Galloway's interview's though. They are so bad with his snorting, breathing, and random off topic comments.....

When John Salley was asked what he'd do to STOP Dirk, he replied "hit him in the ribs as hard as I can". Then he proceeded to say it 2 more times "hit him in the ribs as hard as I can to stop his scoring ways. It's what I used to do, and it's what worked back in the day."

He called it the real "manly basketball" that they used to play. Wow, well that just sounds like basketball I wouldn't like to watch in the first place.

Why don't we just hire someone to break his ankles while we're at it. Or better yet, just threaten his family the old mafia way. That worked back in the day too.

The other key's he provided seemed somewhat more logical. "Make him play D so that he has more of an opportunity to foul out," and "put more pressure on him offensively to shut him down"

Galloway did mention that the team played excellent TEAM D, so Dirk didn't have to be the solo stopper to each player. But forgot to mention that other people on the team could take over the game just as easily as Dirk can offensively.
