<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">This just in: Sam Mitchell does not think Don Landry and Gord Stellick are a couple of puckheads who know nothing about basketball. ``I try to have fun with them," says the Toronto Raptors coach, who has verbally battered the FAN 590 morning hosts every Wednesday since the season began. ``I'm really a fun-loving guy." That will come as good news to Landry, who admits that he wasn't really sure this verbal sparring was all in jest. That would put him in the same position as most listeners, which is why the show has a 9.8 cringe factor at times. ``At first I wasn't sure what to make of him," says Landry, who has never spoken to Mitchell off the air. ``I went into it with a little trepidation, not really sure what to expect. ``Is this guy just a complete dink or what's the deal here? It's taken a few months, but I think we've come to the conclusion he's just having fun with us." </div> Source
This still doesn't change the fact that Landry and Stellick are hockey maniacs who don't know shlt about basketball.
The one thing that I never miss on the Fan every week is Mitchell's segment. To me the Fan should make sure that they never lose him as a guest because he is a rarity in pro sports in that he actually gives real answers and doesn't pull any punches. I howled when I heard his response to Stellick that morning and I found it equally funny to see the cliche ridden Toronto media circle the wagons around one of their own when he was called out and undressed on-air Personally I like the job that Mitchell has done. To me the big thing you look at is that his team has played hard in almost every game which is attributable to the coach. I'm hoping that the rumours of this latest purge don't wind up washing Mitchell out the door. To me, he has talent for the gig Have fun............
yeah this is hilarious, especially the interaction between stellick and mitchell. the radio guys challenged him to a game of "21", he was unsure about it so they challenged his manhood; thats when i almost got into a car accident because i was inebriated in laughter-mitchell says lets jump out of a plane like fear factor or how about sports jeopardy.
