Geez luis. Are you talking about my profile photo of Rafa? If so, why did you even bother to take time to look at my profile? Too much time on your hands, boys? *rollseyes*
In any event, David, I think the No Strings on Rafa was good. I learned some stuff about him that hadn't been published before -- and it also confirmed to me just how boring fishing can be -- unless you bring along a book. But that was a good transition into how he "hooked" the bigger fish later in the week. I'm sure you all know who that was, as it was shot during Miami. jejeje
I did help the TTC producer a bit, to verify a few facts and things. It was difficult for them, because Rafa speaks Catalan, with a bit of Mallorqui thrown in, so the producer was challenged to get things translated accurately. So the voiceover couldn't be helped. Even folks who are fairly fluent in Spanish wouldn't understand all of it.
I commend TTC for doing a profile on a non-American who has potential, but who still hasn't made the big leagues. Of course, they rushed it into production when they knew he'd be playing the Davis Cup final, which was a good plan.
They did get one thing wrong, however, which would curl Rafa's hair if he knew about it. His favorite futbol team is not Barcelona; it is Real Madrid. *lol*
TTC send me a DVD of it, but the segment does air every so often. I think the next air date is: January 10, 2005, at 1:30 p.m.
