Lot of good stuff here. I have always found Shapiro an interesting and impressive character. I remember several years ago there was a picture taken in his office of the slogans he collects and writes/pins on a noticeboard. One was 'no dickheads' which he got from the Sydney Swans Australian Rules Football (AFL) team. I was amazed as the Swans really emphasised team culture - and they set the record for most consecutive (in the AFL) appearances in the playoffs. Hopefully it works for us too!
Nothing really insightful to say except that was a fantastic write-up. Really enjoyed reading your analysis of what we were hearing. That Bichette interview was incredible, too. Sign me up as someone who would be perfectly happy for him to join the coaching staff again in whatever they want to call the role...
Thanks so much man. Yeah, I definitely like doing those types of pieces and need to work them into my rotation more I think.
And Dante is definitely great. I have a whole transcript I typed of a 2020 Zoom call he did where he just talked hitting for a half hour and I still go back to it sometimes. Very interesting guy.
