KLAS sent Max Bhett to find the elusive Rounders' GM, TurfToe, and discuss the 2010 free agency period.
Here's a replay of the brief interview that ran on local affiliate, KLAS-Channel 8. Max Bhett moderating:
[ue8bdd32][be8bdd32]Max:[/be8bdd32][/ue8bdd32] Tonight we have Las Vegas Rounders' GM, TurfToe, with us to discuss free agency and the Rounders' transactions, or the lack thereof.
[ue8bdd32][be8bdd32]TurfToe:[/be8bdd32][/ue8bdd32] Thanks Max, and I'd be more than happy to answer any intelligent questions you can but will not muster up.
[ue8bdd32][be8bdd32]Max:[/be8bdd32][/ue8bdd32] *ahem* So, TurfToe, fullback Chris Wisdom seems to have the fans excited this week.
[ue8bdd32][be8bdd32]TurfToe:[/be8bdd32][/ue8bdd32] Max, that's not even a question but I'd be more than happy to address the acquisition for our loyal fans. Chris brings his veteran presence and experience to our club. He will be able to do those things that Jimmy Woolridge hasn't been able to do for us, with specific regards to blocking for Jennings and Greene.
[ue8bdd32][be8bdd32]Max:[/be8bdd32][/ue8bdd32] Does this mean that Woolridge is on his way out?
[ue8bdd32][be8bdd32]TurfToe:[/be8bdd32][/ue8bdd32] No, not at all. Jimmy is still going to contribute in our passing game and do the things that he still does very well.
[ue8bdd32][be8bdd32]Max:[/be8bdd32][/ue8bdd32] Should be an interesting locker room...
[ue8bdd32][be8bdd32]TurfToe:[/be8bdd32][/ue8bdd32] Definitely, because our ban on driveling, dorky, nutless media types such as yourself will still be in effect.
[ue8bdd32][be8bdd32]Max:[/be8bdd32][/ue8bdd32] Hey, is that Jackpot over there?
[ue8bdd32][be8bdd32]TurfToe:[/be8bdd32][/ue8bdd32] Run Len, run...
[ue8bdd32][be8bdd32]Max:[/be8bdd32][/ue8bdd32] Hey Jackpot, can you answer some questions for me? It's Max Bhett, KLAS?
[ue8bdd32][be8bdd32]Lenny Olsen:[/be8bdd32][/ue8bdd32] Hey Turf, I thought you banned these clowns?
[ue8bdd32][be8bdd32]TurfToe:[/be8bdd32][/ue8bdd32] ...and I thought I told you to knock it off with that dumbass shoe superstition thing. Hey, listen Len, I got an appointment - he's all yours.
[ue8bdd32][be8bdd32]Lenny Olsen:[/be8bdd32][/ue8bdd32] What's your name?
[ue8bdd32][be8bdd32]Max:[/be8bdd32][/ue8bdd32] Max Bhett, beat reporter for KLAS here in Las Vegas.
[ue8bdd32][be8bdd32]Lenny Olsen:[/be8bdd32][/ue8bdd32] Hey, aren't you the dude we swirleyed two years ago after we beat Honolulu?
[ue8bdd32][be8bdd32]Max:[/be8bdd32][/ue8bdd32] *turning red* Uh, no, I don't believe so...
[ue8bdd32][be8bdd32]Lenny Olsen:[/be8bdd32][/ue8bdd32] Yeah, dude, that was so totally you! Swirley Man! Hey man, how's it been? It's nice to see that blue dye finally wore off...so what's your question Swirley Man?
[ue8bdd32][be8bdd32]Max:[/be8bdd32][/ue8bdd32] What do you think about the signing of Chris Wisdom?
[ue8bdd32][be8bdd32]Lenny Olsen:[/be8bdd32][/ue8bdd32] I love it! I've known Chris for quite awhile, we do each other's charity golf events and hang out from time to time in the off season. He, Hogan, and I got into quite a bit of trouble after last year's golf charity in Vegas, but that's about all I'm allowed to say about that.
[ue8bdd32][be8bdd32]Max:[/be8bdd32][/ue8bdd32] What are you looking for from Chris Wisdom in 2010?
[ue8bdd32][be8bdd32]Lenny Olsen:[/be8bdd32][/ue8bdd32] Basically, everything he's been doing his entire career. I think we need to see a lot of key run blocks, third down conversions on the ground and in the air, and to be someone the defense has to account for on every play.
[ue8bdd32][be8bdd32]Max:[/be8bdd32][/ue8bdd32] What are your thoughts on the lack of free agent moves besides Chris this year?
[ue8bdd32][be8bdd32]Lenny Olsen:[/be8bdd32][/ue8bdd32] This is Vegas, we build our offense through the draft and build our defense through free agency. It says alot about Chris to see TurfToe go after him like he did in free agency.
[ue8bdd32][be8bdd32]Max:[/be8bdd32][/ue8bdd32] So why no signings on the defensive side of the ball?
[ue8bdd32][be8bdd32]Lenny Olsen:[/be8bdd32][/ue8bdd32] First off, free agency isn't over. Secondly, I'm sure TurfToe made some offers that just didn't work out. He could answer that question better than me. But, if I know TurfToe the way I do, there must be something else in store for the defense.
[ue8bdd32][be8bdd32]Max:[/be8bdd32][/ue8bdd32] Aren't you getting a little anxious to get a ring before you retire? I mean, c'mon, shouldn't you be in Turftoe's ear asking him to help you out a little with some improvements?
[ue8bdd32][be8bdd32]Lenny Olsen:[/be8bdd32][/ue8bdd32] Listen up dickwad, we went 10-6 in the Ring of Fire division last year, that ain't no joke. Had I not been wearing two left shoes towards the end of the season, I wouldn't have broken my ankle and we could've done some damage in the playoffs.
[ue8bdd32][be8bdd32]Max:[/be8bdd32][/ue8bdd32] Uh, two left shoes?
[ue8bdd32][be8bdd32]Lenny Olsen:[/be8bdd32][/ue8bdd32] Yes, two left shoes. I was wearing two left shoes for a few games. It was a superstitious thing that you wouldn't understand.
[ue8bdd32][be8bdd32]Max:[/be8bdd32][/ue8bdd32] You're right, as I am completely confused.
[ue8bdd32][be8bdd32]Lenny Olsen:[/be8bdd32][/ue8bdd32] Yeah, most people are, but hey, f#ck it, I'm a millionaire and I can be eccentric if I want to be. We had a great season and the trainers turned out to be right this time, it was a bad idea. What are you going to do?
[ue8bdd32][be8bdd32]Max:[/be8bdd32][/ue8bdd32] Well, for starters, I would suggest wearing a left and a right shoe...
[ue8bdd32][be8bdd32]Lenny Olsen:[/be8bdd32][/ue8bdd32] You're pretty quick, as I'm doing exactly that. I'm going to be wearing my left shoe on my right foot and my right shoe on my left foot. If that doesn't work out, I'm going with Plan B and wearing two right shoes. Gotta run, see ya...
That's it for me, Max Bhett, with KLAS wishing you a good night and for a better assignment.
