We’ve grown increasingly accustomed to the in-home Zoom interview in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. And in a sense, it’s given sports networks an extra method of booking guests.
But hey, it can still be a lot to ask to get someone’s full, undivided attention during these unprecedented times.
Washington Wizards guard John Wall was a guest during the latest edition of Monday Tailgate on ESPN — an NFL show hosted by Jason Fitz and Field Yates. Wall is a diehard Dallas Cowboys fan, so ahead of Monday’s game between the Cowboys and Cardinals, Wall agreed to jump on Zoom for an interview to discuss his favorite NFL team.
He just also happened to be playing cards — evidently, spades — during the live interview.

OK, that’s pretty hilarious.
Wall was handling the multitasking well at first until he got distracted when Yates asked a question about the terrible NFC East.
Honestly, I’m a bit surprised that neither Fitz nor Yates asked Wall about the card game. They just played it off like a regular interview.
To Wall’s credit — aside from that one question — he was able to conduct a live ESPN interview whilst playing cards way more efficiently than I would have expected.
