Yes, that's my voice. Shut up.

Here I am on the radio (it's the last 20% of the podcast). It lasted five minutes, felt like 30 seconds and I didn't get the chance to say 1/10th of what was on my mind. It was a thrill though and if the Spurs do their part, who knows maybe they'll invite me back.

colorado? mace did not like that.

instead of applauding the fact that you did not sugar coat (or play homer) the spurs strengths and weaknesses, he wanted to expose you for being less than confident! he’s a tool.

i just thought it was funny he thought you were “chippy”. You did a good job of representing us all (spurs fans) Stamp. thanks

Great job, Stampler. Extra props for not caving when they tried to imply that the RoHo foul was the key to our postseason 07. You came off intelligent, articulate and poised; and not in any way unsure like they claimed. Way to represent!! Let us know when they call back, next time we ought to all flood the lines…

Great job, Michael

What you said dramatically improved the broadcast after the way that they were arguing about whether Lakers-Suns or Lakers-Spurs would be the better series.

Ditto what 4Him said. It was a tough podcast to stomach.

I don’t think you sounded chippy, by the way. All in all, it was a good show, Michael. Congrats. Hopefully you’ll get more chances to speak up.

Especially if we keep on winning and ruin all those stupid Hollywood storylines the annoying guy kept pushing for.

well, you know...

Excellent showing. Coming from Mason, I would take “chippy” as a compliment – like a pro boxer commenting on an amateur who didn’t fold and panic right away. You sounded decently prepared and came out swinging at the Lakers. My only suggestion would be (and I mean this as constructive criticism in the absolute best way), if you get called back on, you should practice cutting down on the “you know”’s. All in all tho, pretty good.

chaos... panic... pandemonium... my work here is done.
