Keep expecting big things from this
young woman in the coming years.
Trust me, she won't disappoint.

ine rest 01 tne Dest interviews:
UTs amazing quarterback Peyton Manning
(who is now well on his way to returning
my beloved Colts to the Super
Bowl).
McKie (be sure to ask him about
our recent H-O-R-S-E match up), Kentucky
Head Basketball Coach Tubby
Smith (they don't make them any
classier), Softball's Kendra McCutcheon,
football's Arturo Freeman and Jamar
Nesbit.
UT Head Coach Phillip Fulmer,
Arkansas Head Coach Houston Nutt
and New York Knicks guard Charlie
Ward (I interviewed Ward last year for
a story on former USC QB Anthony
Wright).
Who else? Let's see.
USC men's tennis coach Kent DeMars
always "gave good quote," as did
women's coach Arlo Elkins, academics
counselor Kris Kordonowy and former
USC basketball player and current radio
announcer Casey Manning.
Herbert Lee Davis is also a fun person
to interview, but I wouldn't recommend
asking him how he fared
against me in our last H-O-R-S-E game
(I think he might still be a little sore).
OK, then, what about the worst interviews?
Well, with my apologies to Auburn
Sports Information Director Kent Partridge
(who next to our own Kerry Tharp
is undoubtedly the nicest SID in the
business), the prize would have to go
to former Tigers QB Dameyune Craig.
Not only was Craig arrogantly flippant
and belligerently unresponsive,
the only time he did open his mouth
xl X J _ - _ X 1
wnnoui derisiveness was xo merely recite
the standard sports cliches.
Some of those included: "playing
within myself," "stepping up" and
(my personal favorite) "letting the game
come to me."

Tremendous athlete, but a bum interviewee.
Some other bad ones?
Definitely Brad Scott, Cincinnati's
Melvin Levett (the only athlete I know
of to have ever intentionally "hawked

Clemson QB Nealon Greene (Heck, anybody
from Clemson capable of putting
together a complete sentence would be
refreshing), USC women's tennis player
Leigh Eichelberger (Wait a minute,
that one was actually my fault?I spent
the entire interview tiying to figure out
exactly how I was going to ask her
out on a date).
Florida football coach Steve Spurrier
("Who the *&#% transferred you to
this number?") was also bad, as was
Florida freshman forward Mike Miller.
And last but not least, the charming
Jackie Sherrill of Mississippi State.
Sherrill promptly instructed me to
"go and *&#% myself' when I asked
him whether he got in trouble with the
animal-rights people for castrating a
bull in front of his players in an unorthodox,
motivational ploy a few years
back.
Well, there you have it, the best and
worst of my Common Folklore interviews.
So much for going out with class.
Oh well. Next week, I'll take another
look back, this time at the best
and worst sports headlines of the
past two years (provided I don't get
that, um, "interview" with Inga Hammond
in Atlanta this weekend). Remember
to sign up for your own column
this fall.
Obviously, anybody can do it.
