What IF Bosh plays the 3 position?

Barg as a PF could roam around the arch, JO in the low post area and Bosh with the ball in his hands around the ark. We all kno Bosh can make a drive to the rim, if there is no rotation opposition PF would have to play Barg tight. So many options, he can fake the pass to Barg or JO and drive, drive and pass to JO, drive and pass to Barg for the 3pt attempt, and thats not even involving the guards.

Thank You, as for what Jack said I respect and value his opinion a lot and I was quiet surprised to here him say that. He wouldn’t say it if he didn’t believe it. I am confident the Raptors can advance to the second round, The conference finals would be the perfect season to happen. Raptors are part of a group of teams that can challenge Boston.

Nice interview with Jack.
Do you agree with him when he said that the Raptors are good enough to make the conference finals if there healthy?

I think the most interesting is what Bosh’s College coach from Georgia Tech told Jack. It has really played out exactly as he laid out to Jack on that first night when Bosh played.

I have said it a few times in the blog before watching Bosh grow in front of my eyes with Raptors has been a true joy to watch. It is one of the best things I can remember since watching the Triplets in Dallas start out and go all the way to Superbowl.

Bosh is a Cowboy fan too so that is another plus for me for CB4

lots of Chris Bosh endorsement from Jack. CB4 does seem very genuine as a human being and is obviously an outstanding athlete. let’s just hope that he is ready to lead this team to playoff success sooner than later.

How Jack and I got together was thanks to Eric Smith of the Fan 590. Eric is also the one who hooked me up with Paul Jones. I have known Eric from back in the days when I was in college(1998-01) I was doing radio and Eric and Chuck Swirsky were guests on a segment called the round ball review on the radio as part of a show called Jock Talk.

I for personal and family concerns had to put my media career on hold. That is in part how the Dino Nation Blog was born. When I started up the blog I re-connected with Eric and explained to him that one of my regrets back when I was doing the Radio Show was not being able to have Jack on with me. I was not sure how to ask people like Chuck and Eric how to hook up with Jack back in those days. I didn’t want to offend them as being on a small station I was lucky to have them as guests. So I had wrote a blog about Jack and asked Eric to pass it along to Jack.

I got an e-mail back the following day and Jack has been a frequent guest ever since that time. I think the point that I take pride in about the guests I am able to have Jack included is they all have agreed to come back when called upon to do so. I value the relationships with them and see them as important to myself, my blog and it’s readers.

I think all of this can be found in The Dino Nation Blog Hall Of Fame in which Jack Eric and Paul were all put in by me for the tremendous help they have been as guests and just people willing to help. All great people and I am happy they choose to work with me.

Yoooo…how do you get access to him? I wouldn’t mind interviewing him, pretty sure he wouldn’t come back after the first one but it would be fun.

Good job.

Keep in mind a couple things:

A) This was the 1st time in doing this so it was a test run.

B) The Dino Nation Blog is not exactly on par with major media in terms of budget and equipment .

The audio is a good idea – but the audio quality was very poor – I think until you get a clearer way to record audio you might want to stick to the text version.

But in the long run, a great idea!

Just my two cents…
