Gimme Back My Sundays! Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 That was fantastically awkward and cringeworthy. Gottlieb was asking him normal questions that one might hear in a radio interview and Mora was just dismissive, abrasive, and generally a douchenugget. Example (paraphrase): DG: What do you think of Philly fans that boo Donovan McNabb JM: I don't know. How do you expect me to talk about how people feel? Who cares? and... JM: I don't know, I don't live in the past, pal, even though you might. Any time somebody busts out a word like "pal", you know it's on like mahjong.
Drew026 Posted September 30, 2010 Author Posted September 30, 2010 DG: Jim Mora on NFL access this saturday thanks for your time JM: Yeah you were a real joy
Buftex Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Are we talking Jim Mora Jr or Jim Mora Sr here?

DanInUticaTampa Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 (edited) haha, this interview is grand. Though I have to admit, some of the questions were a little odd. Edited September 30, 2010 by DanInUticaTampa
BobDVA Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 I do believe that I will side with Mora on this, the questions were stupid. If Vick wasn't so lazy in Atlanta, Mora might still be the coach there? How do you answer a question like that except to get mad. I do not blame Mora at all.
dayman Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Sounded like Mora's first interview to tell you the truth
NaPolian8693 Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Yah, his questions were very insulting and unprofessional. In a nutshell, he was saying: "Wow you must have been a horrible coach in Atlanta because you didn't get maximum production out of Vick."
Flutie Flakes Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 http://thebiglead.com/index.php/2010/09/30/jim-mora-doesnt-like-doug-gottliebs-line-of-questioning-is-this-your-first-interview/ Thanks for posting up the link. Although I believe that Jim Mora could have been a little more tactful in his responses, it certainly sounds like Gottlieb did not prepare for this interview. Questions were ridiculous. I have heard better interviews given by communication students on college radio.
BUFFALOTONE Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 The issue was way before the interview. Gottleib runs his mouth about everyone the same way Coward (spelled purposely) does and once the guest comes on they kiss their ass and say how great they are. Doug has been a weasel forever. The guy got caught stealing money from a team mates locker and bounced around 3 different colleges I believe. He knows basketball and that is it. At least Coward admits he caters to the bigger markets because they are the ones who bring in the cash. They are all tools.

joejoebills Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Jim Mora is right on....i love that guy....lol
The Tomcat Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Ha...thats pretty good radio right there. Had he been there in person we may have seen another Rome/Everett confrontation.
cantankerous Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Gottlieb is the jackass not Mora. What a terrible interviewer.
dpberr Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Ha...thats pretty good radio right there. Had he been there in person we may have seen another Rome/Everett confrontation. +1.
Green Lightning Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Gottlieb sounds like a rookie college sports journalist. Like to hear Mora with Dope and the Lapdog w/ Sully sometime. Would be an interesting exchange.
