Hey all,

Check out my interview with Corey on PhoenixMercury.com. He talked about the legacy left by Paul Westhead, the challenges he's faced so far in his first training camp as head coach, and previewed next Saturday's ceremonies and season opener.

Well done...I had put a link in the "Training Camp Roster" thread, yet the interview with coach is deserving of its own billing.

Didn't see that, sorry. I am planning on doing these types of audio interviews with Corey and other coaches and players, so look for those as we go forward. Thanks as always.

One hundred percent of the fans I have spoke with say your videos added tremendous value to their enjoyment of the Championship journey.

Please keep up the good work and allow us to live vicariously and have further insight to this great group of ladies and the great staff around them.

Thanks, I really appreciate the support. As bummed as I was about the Suns' premature departure from the playoffs, it was nice to go down and see "my girls," or at least some of them, preparing for the title defense. Corey is awesome to work with and I'm anxiously awaiting the start of the season with the rest of you.

A couple of PM.com notes: We'll be blowing out coverage of Tuesday's Media Day with photos, articles and I've lined up Kevin Ray to host our Media Day video.

We will also, of course, be providing full behind-the-scenes coverage of next Saturday's ceremonies and game.

Finally, and Amber will probably kill me for telling you all this, but I've also submitted master DVDs containing all of my videos from last season's playoff run, including the practice videos, airport returns from Detroit and the Championship Rally. She will be reviewing them this weekend to make sure I didn't mess anything up in the transfer and begin the reproduction process (it was a massive project). I have no idea what do with it from there, but I personally would like to somehow make it available to the X-Factor. I have had several people already ask for this, but please do not bombard Amber (or me for that matter) with requests at this time. I just wanted to make you aware that these videos will be out there and that I will be keeping you all in mind as we go forward.

Thanks again for all the kind words. I do not take them lightly.

Go Merc!

Since you are one and the same, bring friends.

Anyone needing directions may pm me as well as sportsfan...while a gracious host, I expect she is busy.

Carol1, the party starts early, and the 51 (Piestewa Pkwy) is involved in the directions. :wink: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
