Smith: Well folks we are here once again with Bratislava Watchmen forward Donny Carter. Donny, that playoff series did not go as planned. What went wrong for the Watchmen and why was Rome so dominant?

Carter: Thanks for having me Joe. It really was a tough series to be a part of. They had a swagger to them and just kept control of the puck a lot. We knew it would be a tough series and unfortunately we couldn't get enough scoring going.

Smith: It certainly wasn't an issue for you! You had, let me just see here... *Joe checks his notes for a solid 20 seconds, adding in phrases like: yes, yes and oh where'd I put that...* 5 points in 4 playoff games, tied for the team's lead in points with Jlloyoid Blloyoiderson. How did you personally feel about your game.

Carter: I was pretty good to my own standards, and thought my compete level was decent. I do wish I could have helped more to win at least one game.

Smith: That's right you are now on a 12 game playoff losing streak, is that affecting you in any way or are you just playing.

Carter: I'm trying not to think about it but I would be lying if I said that wasn't in the back of my head. Definitely tough as I've only won one playoff series coming out of the VHLM and VHLE.

Smith: That's right! *Donny looks confused as Joe stares directly at him silently for 2 seconds* You are on your way up to Riga this year as part of the young core you guys have. Reuniting with Spaz from your Philly days, you two are part of the youth movement for the Reign. How is that looking for you and what are you looking to accomplish in your first season with Riga.

Carter: Well I'm super excited to get a chance with Riga, and while the perfect season would have me win rookie of the year, I just want to be a solid contributor for the team. Nothing too special but maybe also put in 15 goals and 20 assists as the point goals. I would not be disappointed in any way with that.

Smith: As we've seen from you recently, those goals are definitely reachable. Now as long as I'd like to sit here and talk, we have another guest here on the show today, so Donny thank you so much for joining us today.

Carter: Appreciate the time Joe.

 

*Show's theme song plays as the camera fades to commercials. After they play the show's theme song plays once again as the shot of the two chairs fades back in, this time to reveal Joe Smith sitting across from Don Carter, new AGM of the San Diego Marlins*

 

Smith: And welcome back folks, today we have a new guest on the show. The newly appointed AGM of the San Diego Marlins, Don Carter. Don how's it going.

Carter: It's going pretty good today, how are you?

Smith: I am doing just fine. Now Don, first time in management. How are you feeling so far?

Carter: I'm feeling great about it. Talking with the GM JB he's a great guy and I'm really happy to have been given the opportunity to help lead the Marlins to some success in the season and hopefully the playoffs.

Smith: If you are able, what have you and JB been talking about so far for management duties?

Carter: Just planning for the offseason you know, scouting for the draft and stuff like that. I'm definitely excited to see where we will be picking because that does determine a lot looking at who's gonna go around where you know?

Smith: *clearly is confused* So you can predict where players are going to be drafted?

Carter: Well no, we are just using their stats and how good they are to guess.

Smith: Ohhhh. Okay. Well that's gonna be it for today everyone. Don thanks so much for joining us and I wish you the best of luck as the new AGM in San Diego.

Carter: The pleasure is all mine Joe, thanks for having me!

Smith: Cut!

Review: This was a good article and a fun way to talk about your player and management role in the same media spot whilst keeping it in character. I would suggest using more obvious methods of splitting up the interview (have one in italics or a different font colour) That way it is just easier to read. I like the effort to add some humour and not just make it a stock standard interview. However I would usually write more in the first line explaining the interview like they do on tv. Good article 8/10
