Ich schrieb hier ja schonmal, dass man Jeremy Roenick einfach lieben muss!
Gestern wurde ein Interview auf sportingnews.com veröffentlicht, in dem man dank der tolleb Fragen des Interviewers auch mal einen etwas ernsthafteren Einblick gewinnt, wie Roenick über sich selbst, seine Karriere und seine Zukunft denkt:
I’m one of those guys who doesn’t care if he looks like an idiot. Embarrassment isn’t in my vocabulary.
SN: What’s going through your mind when you see yourself on television?
Roenick: I laugh. Sometimes I laugh at myself. Sometimes. I’m like, ‘Why did you say that? What an idiot.’ Other times, I’m like, ‘That actually sounded like I knew what I was talking about.’
SN: How has your media-friendly attitude affected your career?
Roenick: I haven’t become as popular as I’ve become in the sport just because of my on-ice numbers. People know me because of the things I’d say. There are a lot of people who say negative publicity is what opens up doors — whatever kind of doors it opens. Nobody wants to hang out with blah, ‘We came out, wanted to work hard tonight.’ Nobody wants to hear the cliches that go around way too many times. They want to hear, ‘Screw that guy or the refs sucked.’ The media has made me a lot more popular, but they have thrown me under the bus, too.
SN: So what will it be after you retire — television, radio, movies, coaching …
Das komplette Interview hier, und natürlich kommt auch der Spass nicht zu kurz. Hey, es ist immer noch Jeremy Roenick
