At a little after 9:00 on Friday night as I was about to go out to get a bite to eat, I happened to see on CNBC that Wayne Root had just come out to do an interview with comedian/sports analyst Dennis Miller.
After listening to Root yack about himself(in essence he said "I am so great in everything I say and do.") the topic came around to the NCAA Tournament.
When Miller asked who would go far in the tournament, Root stated that he thought "the smart kids" would do well, and two of the schools he alluded to were Stanford and Gonzaga;enough said.
To change the subject a bit, am I the only one who thinks Root is awful as a public speaker?
The reason I say that is just watch the way he flails his arms and hands and continually points his fingers to make points;the way he does it makes me think he is a paraplegic and/or is spastic, and it certainly is a distraction and takes away from what he is trying to say.
Arms, hands and fingers can be effective in speaking if used properly but not if overdone which I think as the case here.
To be perfectly honest I never was a big Root fan anyways and find his overall demeanor obnoxious.
