We all want answers. We demand them, actually. From revered coaches, from players making history, from execs we’re convinced are up to no good. Every time one of them answers a question from us – the reporters, the fans – it reveals a small, unvarnished truth about them and about the games we love.
ESPN The Magazine’s debut “Interview” issue on newsstands Friday, December 2, features Green Bay Packers’ Quarterback Aaron Rodgers and his thoughts on having the greatest season of his life, Chicago Bulls’ Derrick Rose about why he refused to attend negotiations between the NBA players and owners, and Detroit Tigers’ Justin Verlander about how he gets from 97 to 100 on the radar gun.
