An Excellent Interview With Justin Verlander
« on: November 17, 2017, 10:58:14 pm »
I was looking for the "Condensed Game Five" on YouTube and ran across this interview with Verlander. I'm not familiar with the show or interviewer but he did a great job.

He breezed him, one more time!

That was fantastic, thanks for posting it.
There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

The stuff from JV on pitching in big games, to meeting his teammates to his wedding story.   Just a great interview, highly recommend.

Like Texifornia, I have never heard of Build, they appear to be associated with AOL.  The guy doing the interview is excellent.

I watched it last night and thought it was fantastic.  The questions went beyond the superficial level we're accustomed to and really drew some great insights out of Verlander.

Fantastic interview.   Thanks for sharing this.

Verlander has it freaking together.   The interviewer nailed it in closing,  few athletes have the "raw honesty and authenticity" JV has.

What an addition.

Verlander and Kate were on Fallon last night. You didn't miss anything.

Thought it was interesting why Justin thinks rosters should be expanded to 26.

Great interview.
Often wrong, but never in doubt.
