    This guy really knows how to do interviews... I don't think I've ever heard him interrupt anyone... he asks really good questions... and he really listens to what they're saying... and you can usually tell that by his response to what they just said ... he seems to do is homework and comes prepared.
    Why in the world CAN'T most other people do interviews like this gentleman ? Some of them are horrendous , with interrupting and cutting them off at the best parts.

    Dang Joe, you knew better than to let your guard down when you were playing against the Silver and Black back in those days. They weren't playin', LOL! Those were the days when the NFL played "REAL FOOTBALL"....not like today. Love the way you tell these stories, so funny! Glad you made it "out" w/o too many bad injuries, we both know it could have been a lot worse. I was an avid fan back in those days, gooooooo Raiders, but now that they've changed the rules/regs so much due to safety precautions it just ain't the same (but I don't wanna see anybody get badly hurt like they used to either).

    The game didnt get softer, the money got better and the player is an enterprise that must take care of themselves. If Joe was making money like the top quarterbacks or even some backup quarterbacks such as chase daniels or mccown, he wouldnt play thru those injuries. And it is the players right to choose not to and their right to get paid what they get paid.
