Overview for anyone who cares;
What does he drive - A couple of cars, in TO he drives an escalade
Like what - A suburban, Aston martin, dodge charger.
What do you drive in Houston - depends on the weather, mood and gas. Usually use the hummer for workouts.
What did you buy your mother when you got the 1st contract - Nothing, I bought myself a hummer H2 (customized). But later I bought my mother an escalade.

Grant Hill!!!!!! Yikes!!
But seriously. I have this sneaky suspicion TJ realizes he's on the ledge with TO fans. I think he's great. He was having a great year before the injuries took over. His game was on the "upswing" from last year.
But let's face it. Jose has taken control. People are talking about Jose and the all-star game. Best PG in the east. Comparing to Nash.
TJ wanted to be an all-star this year.....but does anyone think he was going to make it? And aside from all that.... TJ is now injury prone. Jose will demand (his agent will, other teams will come calling) more money this summer.
There's no way in heck we could say good bye to Jose and count on TJ's health moving forward.
Anyways, my point...... Is TJ doing this radio stuff to stay on the good side with the fans?

Way to give ammunition to the TJ haters! TJ hates the environment! Jose rides a bike!

Thats what I was thinking, slowly but surely TJ has been fading into the background with Raptors fans now raving the new flavour Jose and everything about him. TJ has been great and he maybe could have been All Star considered. But since he has now become injury prone, Jose has taken not only control of the team, but the All Star consideration away from Ford. Fans rave everything Jose does, Big or Minor, and now it gives fuel for Jose/His Agent to demand Max Money.
Matt Bonner was a fan favourite and well liked, but some were angry that he left. Jose is like Matt Bonner x10, but if he leaves, it will make people go WTF?! and maybe stage a protest or something.
TJ Ford knows that he is being pushed aside as fast as LeBron did to Moon. Im sure that he is doing everything he can to make sure he is still around and noticable, not like the other forgotten man, Garbajosa. So he will probably try everything in his power to stay in the Fan's eyesight, but he will probably have to become Jesus or something (ie. Work x10 as hard to reap x2 the reward) for him to be on par with Jose Mania sweeping the city. Its going to be a tough uphill climb for TJ for the foreseeable future.
