Well, I think it's really important if you get the right guy, but
The problem is these guys are so well coached now.
You get the same answers.
I used to ask these guys different questions.
You go to the combine and say, who's your hero?
He says, my dad.
Who's your favorite player?
Sidney Crosby.
It's all stock answers.
I used to say to him, what kind of dog do you have?
He'd be like, oh, Christ, that's not on the list.
If he had Brian Berkley's top players, I'd say I have a poodle, Bill Havey.
And I was starting to sweat, and I'd be like, don't worry, kid, I don't care.
I just tried to throw you out.
But I'd say, what kind of watch do you have on?
The kid says, I got a Rolex.
He's rich.
I got a Timex.
He's cheap.
So he's all sweating.
