PlayoffBeards

While I reaaaaally hope this is true, please remember this: Ping=Steve Kyler with a paycheck.

Felton Spencer!

3 guys that had but fleeting moments here and are better known on other teams: Derek Harper Danny Manning Jud Buechler (also Pat Ewing)

Sheer idiocy on my part; I do that every time. Donnell Harvey, not Dorrell Wright.

In my cube here at the RDV, I have a wall devoted to 8X10 photos (most autographed) of random/obscure former Magics. I have most of the ones you guys mentioned thus far as well as: Stacy Augmon (I also have his autographed jersey) Dorrell Wright David Vaughn Ryan Humphries Jacques Vaughn Juwan Howard (I refuse to believe he plays for the Heat now) I would love to find Brian Evans, Olumide Olyedehi (spelling?), Amal McCaskill, and Brooks Thompson.

Clearly, I didn't either. Oopsy. Thanks for the feedback, guys.

Happy Playoff Day! If you're a fan of Ryan Anderson (and who isn't?), I encourage you to check out our first Playoff Beards podcast. We spoke with Ryan about his potential nicknames, Playoff Beards, proficiency at the game "Catchphrase", his phenomenal celebrity impressions, and his ability to intimidate. Oh, and dunking without looking at his fingers afterwards. Check it out here. Thanks very much to you in advance for checking it out and to Ryan for giving us 25 minutes of his life (and missing out on going to the lake with his friends in the process). Go Magic!

Yes, for now...but we will be doing this again. I'll give you more advance notice next time. Sorry it was so sudden; we tend to fly by the seat of our pants. We may make another run at it this afternoon. Stand by!

Hello, Magic fans! We just interviewed #33, Ryan Anderson, for our first "Playoff Beards" podcast. He did spot-on impressions of Chewbacca and others. It was 20 compelling minutes. The bad news is, we have 40 or so minutes to fill. So, we're taking your phone calls in our comfy Maitland studio. If you can figure out how to dial 1-866-MAGICFAN, we would love to talk to you about the team, the Playoffs, Playoff Beards, the most bizarre season in Magic history, and Geert Hammink. Ok, not so much Geert...but we welcome your strong opinions. Be a part of this groundbreaking and undoubtedly short-lived broadcasting venture by calling 1-866-MAGICFAN. Where and when will you get to hear the final product? Pending approval (pleeeeease, Dante), on www.orlandomagic.com and soon. 866-MAGICFAN. Doing it. Right now. This offer willl expire tonight at midnight.

Well played.

Don't get your Victoria's Secrets in a bunch; that was intended to be facetious.

Very close. We'll have an intern meet you at the back door with a warm Natty Light for you to shotgun before entering the building. Hope that suffices.

Apologies for not mentioning this earlier, but this is an OFFICIAL podcast put together by a few of us Orlando Magic employees. Not that there's anything unsavory about mere fans putting together such a project, mind you, but this has the stamp of approval from the Magic and will be recorded right here at the RDV in glorious Maitland, Florida. Thank you for your time.

Greetings, fellow Magic fans! I've been a lurker/reader of this board for quite a few years. I'm currently in the process of getting an official Orlando Magic podcast off the ground for www.orlandomagic.com. For our first show, scheduled to record within 2 weeks, we are looking for passionate Magic fans to share their feelings about this season and the upcoming NBA Playoffs. Obviously, you are among the most rabid and passionate (if not level-headed) Magic fans on the planet. My question to you is this: how many of you would be willing to step out from behind your online identities and interact with us with a microphone in front of you? We're looking for the Jareth Cutestories, the Hibachi4thewins, the balljunkies, etc. The well-known personalities of this message boards with strong opinions and (hopefully) a sense of humor. We will record at the glorious RDV studios in Maitland, FL. We would insist upon you joining us in studio as we have no interest in doing it over the phone. PM me if you're interested with a way to contact you. We will be making our choices this week and likely recording over the weekend or during the first part of next week. We can offer you nothing in the way of compensation (other than the joy of having your voice heard by tens, if not hundreds of Magic fans). Thank you for your time.
