I’ve gotten the chance to talk to about 60 pro athletes in person and over the phone. I try to ask questions — usually more on the fun side — that wouldn’t normally be asked in press conference or locker room interviews, and ones that fans would really want to know the answer to but perhaps would never think of asking.
