Post-game interviews

I always find it funny when, right after a big win, an athlete is asked "what's going through your mind right now?"

And I get why it's asked -- it's more of a curious "it would be so freaking cool to have just thrown a no-hitter. ZOMG I wish I could just jump into your brain and know how it feels"

But honestly:
Who is ever aware of what's going through their head? It reminds me of zoning out during a conversation a few weeks ago, having a friend assume I was in deep thought, and me answering the same question with a disappointing "I was thinking of where I could stop for coffee on the drive home."

(Best ever answer to this question was by Clay Buchholz after his no-hitter in 2007. Was so humbled by the moment he couldn't even answer the question. Wish there was an MLB link to the no-no, but, well...)
