The problem with Internet leads.

I always loved that guy. I had a chance to interview him when I was a sportswriter in college. We (Miami) were playing at IU and I was given about three minutes to spend with him. I was lucky to get that. Bob had a certain disdain for sportswriters, let alone college ones.

The first two minutes he gave me one word (yes or no) answers. Then, I casually mentioned something about all of the hunting and fishing pictures on his wall (no pics of family or players). One thing led to another and he talked my ear off for the next 15 minutes about his passion for hunting.

I always liked him after that. Of course, I always liked John McEnroe too!
