Swirsky doesn't answer his own emails 

Post#1 » by smokersarejokers » Fri Feb 15, 2008 7:17 pm

I just sent Chuck Swirsky an email, and he responded literally within 2 minutes.

I'm listening to him on the Fan right now, and he was/is in the middle of an interview when he responded. No way he could have written me that response while he's currently on air conducting an interview.

Dang. :wavefinger:

No **** sherlock... He literally gets hundreds of emails in a day, and I reaaaaaaaaaaly doubt he goes through all of them, if any of them. I am pretty sure he has people that will do that for him though...

Are you upset? lol

Lol did you really think that he reads and responds to all of those emails.

Actually, I think he does answer a lot of his own emails. He has a laptop in front of him and fires off a lot of very short answers, usually just a few words. A lot of the answers would be repetitious, meaning he doesn't have to think. And just because he is doing an interview doesn't mean he sent the reply that instant.

I would be willing to bet he doesn't even eat salami and cheese.

I could be wrong but that is just my opinion. Onions, baby onions.

Lol, I guess I'm just gullible. He always talks about how he reads & responds to all his emails and is supposedly so open to the fans, so I guess I just took his word at face value. =(

Yeah, sometimes his responses are pretty canned and he gets them mixed up.

One time I emailed him and asked "What'd you think of Bosh's great game last night?" and he responded with "$200/hr, no greek".

I think you'd be surprised at how much he does reply.. I had his cell phone number, and accidently called him one time during a game (the Raps where in LA).. not even 15 min after the final buzzer sounded, he called me back (I didn't even leave him a message). I was a little confused at first.... I don't know how detailed his response was to you, but I am pretty sure he has mastered the art of multi tasking when it comes to responding to his emails...

A lot of the interviews are taped and aired on a few minutes delay too.

Interviews on the Fan590 are often taped from beforehand too, so it's possible that interview wasn't live...

It was somewhat detailed actually, I was surprised:

I think the Raps are in good shape with Mike Evans and Darrick Martin....but I do agree-a big man would help.

I was wondering what he meant by when he replied "Onions! Baby! Onions" when I asked him how much his speaking fees were and if he had any salad preferences for a conference I was putting together. :D
