I thought that was an excellent job. Simple, getting some anecdotes that perhaps are firsts, because you seemed interested in what you were doing. There's so much politics and PC in the sportsrooms, these days, that you wonder if they all want to become 'hard news' reporters, or are even that interested in sports. We've got local 'sports talk' here with guys who seem to want to talk about everything but sports for maybe a half an hour soild. So it's nice to see someone who is just into football, and wants to know something about the history.

Great work Brian! Please keep these interviews coming. It's great to hear from the heroes of yesteryear. I have been a fan since '79 so I remember when Roger came into the league with that highstepping style. I think he knocked a couple of people out with those knees. Did you get to ask him about his thoughts on the current Niners?

Roger Craig: I speak with Ronnie Lott, he's a great guy in and out of football. I also speak with Frank Gore regularly and yeah, I still go to games to cheer them on.

Good idea, I may do that!
Thanks ever so much for the feedback guys, it's good to see. I've had a fantastic opportunity here and the article writing that I started this year has paid off. Hopefully we may get another name or two by the end of the year. We've had Andre Caldwell and Chris Baker last week from current players.
I also interviewed the presenter from the Late Sunday game show and Saturday morning magazine show, just before season start for the season.
Bengals WR - Andre Caldwell
Patriots Tight End - Chris Baker

Your interview is great. I have a question though if you don't mind (I am very protective of our 9ers). I figure if Roger gave you an interview you deserve it and he felt you would pass it on in a positive light. The lure for you will be to use it to simply build your portfolio. I am hoping you really understand the good cheer and attitude that team brought from that time and if you do grow in your profession, if you are truly a 49er fan, that you help bring that forward !
Are you game ?
