    Very happy to see the support of "talk about." I was about to quit the field when I saw the first reactions to it because I use it. I guess I'll stick around for a little while now.

    I totally agree with you Cranberry. In postgames I've found most coaches will speak generally and often say the same things... like a politician with talking points. So you give them the "talk about" question to open it up, let them spew their general response, and then you go from there. Take what they said and highlight specific points for follow up questions and/or ask more specific questions. Agree with all that it opens things up a little bit, and that it's awfully pretentious for writers to look down on others for using it.
