With no matches to keep us amused, interviews with football legends can provide some welcome entertainment.
Having made 386 appearances for Celtic and been capped 20 times by Scotland, Murdo MacLeod is the sort of ex-pro who must have stories by the bucketload.
Macleod played for and managed Dumbarton, and when the Sons arranged a Q&A with him they would have been expecting a few memorable anecdotes.
Nothing, though, could have prepared them for the astonishing revelations that followed.
Compared to these explosive revelations, Frost v Nixon and Bashir v Diana were minor distractions.
It's hard to digest all of MacLeod's stunning admissions in one sitting, so I've selected a few of the most eye-opening quotes.
Who is your favourite player of all time?
"I don't have a favourite player"
Who is your favourite player in the current season?
"That changes during the season"
Who inspired or influenced your career the most over the years?
"All of my managers had an impact on my football career"
Have you ever been starstruck by anyone famous you've met over the years?
"I don't think I have been starstruck. When you meet a hero, you feel great"
What was better - playing or managing the Sons?
"I loved them both"
Incredibly, there were even more astonishing details that MacLeod was willing to divulge.
Asked who the craziest player he played with was, MacLeod responded: "I don't think I played with any crazy players."
