Any indication at all that Wheaton is irked by the treatment, I'm wondering? I completely agree that it's self-evident that Bryant is the superior talent, so to me it's peculiar how public they're being about stating the obvious...
My hunch is this approach is strictly for Bryant's benefit in terms of motivation. Some people need a kick in the butt, others need a little praise, and right now they seem to feel the latter is better for him. If anything I'd think there's more pressure on Bryant to perform this year. The stick will inevitably replace the carrot, and maybe he won't handle that so well.
Thanks. As you can tell, we really just wing it. I'd think more people would appreciate that format than something that gets all rigid and you have to measure what you say.

DK, love the Morning Java, wish you did more of it! The only thing I'd recommend is getting Josh a mic too. At times it seems like you're interviewing him, kinda, sorta, but not really. Regardless, I love the info, the Pittsburgh backdrop and the informal set up - the mic thing trip me up!
I do love this feature. And it has improved with having the two of you together. It is clear you have great chemistry. And that you have fun. I feel like I'm sitting down with a couple of friends talking Phg sports. It doesn't get any better than that! Awesome. I would echo the second mic suggestion (raised multiple times now), along with a tripod.
