I think you should explain that shirt. There's your rookie, dressed all nice for the draft, and you've got on some weird white and green thing...

Yeah, uh, seems like you made the right decision. Can't imagine anywhere bein' a better fit for you than Pittsburgh. But it's their job to second-guess, I suppose.

...no, we do not do anything like that.

One, it's grey. Two? It was freaking cold out that day, and I was going to put on a damn sweater. Three, I've earned my rights to look like a homeless person at any point within my locker room so long as I'm comfy, which I was.

Who, the press? Their job to ask stupid questions, too, I guess.

We're clearly better.

One, it looks white in the picture, so that ain't my fault. Two, have you heard of jackets? Three, ...yeah, ok.

Yup. I'm familiar with 'em. Somebody asked me last night why I wasn't happier with the win. ...forgive me if our closer reinjuring his elbow is more important than the win...

Or clearly more ridiculous.

I mean it's white-and-grey, not grey-and-green, douche. Two, yes, it's called all-my-hoodies-were-dirty-cause-I-was-too-lazy-to-do-laundry-and-it-wasn't-cold-enough-for-a-jacket. Three - damn straight. I don't expect cameras in there anyway, and who cares? *smirks* Turnin' fashion conscious?

*shrugs* I think they're convinced we're egotistic jerks. "Sure, my teammate got hurt, but...I won!"

Blow me. I don't see no big clamor for baseball stars in the off-season for TV shows.

I've been watching Battle of the Gridiron Stars while I've been stuck at home with my knee. *grins* You're right, that is pretty funny stuff. Almost makes me miss the bells and whistles you get put through at the All Star game.

I wonder if you can write in and suggest events for the show. Roller hockey would be a good one..

Damn entertaining, ain't it? Yeah, Joey Porter's my teammate, linebacker, the guy doin' doughnuts with the sea doo. Crazy bastard. Love him to death though. *grins* You guys get to go to Hawaii for your All-Star game?

No, roller hockey would not be a good one. First off, many of us got contracts sayin' we can't skate. (People don't know it, but there's loads of stuff we're contractually not allowed to do. Jet ski, ATVs, etc.) And second, trust me, none of those football boys can skate, we're too damn big, and you'd never get us to try. Now. Street hockey, maybe...
