    I wonder who gets the job of listening to the bitch sessions. Maybe they will bring Jake the Snake out of retirement. That would work well.

    I'm expecting Chris Paul to take full advantage of this.
    He will now be playing whilst wearing a Bluetooth wireless direct connection to this Hotline, so as to complain mid-game.

    You need to send in your resume.

    I'd find it hilarious if was Joey Crawford who had to take the calls.

    I'd actually be perfect for the job. I'm a Basketball Referee who manages a call center customer service team.

    I would assume that it is just an automated system somehow. Voice recording essentially. No actual person on the other end of the line. Just a wild guess though. Unless I missed that part in the article?

    Which is the other reason why you would be perfect for this. You wouldn't take any crap from the players, which is what they need.
