I'm a pretty big Jon Rothstein fan and Markus was his guest on "Stuffed" this week. Interview is about half way through the video. (Link below)

I thought it was funny that Rothstein asked Markus to do an impression of Wojo and Markus said one of Wojos favorite things to say is "It's not criticism, it's just facts." That's a good quote for nojos to use.
Not an attack on you, but Jon Rothstein is an empty suit of nothing from a sports commentary standpoint. If he sends one more tweet about rebounding margin I am going to absolutely going to lose my f'ing mind.
I used to find Rothstein incredibly annoying, relying on the most basic stats to form his opinions.
But now that I don't take him seriously as a college hoops analyst, I just find him endearing. Fun personality for the sport.

That's a great line, moves me closer to a Projo.

Fair enough, I find him to be a millennial version of Dickie V
Rothstein is an effin idiot
This was really great interview. Hating Jon Rothstein is like hating fun. Really have enjoyed this new show Stuffed. Had Pritchard and Garza on weeks before. I sense a player of the year theme.
I think he's kind of a doofus and I had his copy paste tweets he always fires out, but I'll give him credit that he doesn't take himself too seriously unlike a lot of his peers.
I will say, I saw him at SJU-Marq last year and in person, he has one of the biggest heads I've ever seen. It's remarkable
Rothstein was once paired with Wally Szczerbiak.
Szczerbiak wanted to play at Marquette. His father begged Mike Deane to recruit Wally Jr. Deane never even met the kid.
Mike Deane is a f#cking idiot.

If we had Pritchard and his leadership instead of Howard we would have unfurled a Big East Champs banner today.
