ESPN Africa's Chris Bortensen finally took the time to catch up with the continent's favorite WR, the colorful Freddie Mitchell, by phone:
Reporter: *dials phone, message machine picks up*
Machine: "Freddie Ex is in the building, swagga on a hundred thousand, treeeelion... leave a message"
Reporter: "Hi, I'm Chris Bortensen calling from ESPN Africa, I was wondering if you could answer a few..."
Freddie: *picks up* "Sorry, I was in my trophy room, looking for a case for my latest game ball. There's not much space left in there if you know what I mean. You're from ESPN Africa? What took you so long to call?"
Reporter: "Well you know, between you and me, my superiors have wanted to focus more on all the drama surrounding D3, britdevine, etc..."
Freddie: "What?! Why do you spend time on those AAA#2 nobodies? Is this ESPN for toddlers? Anyways what do you want?"
Reporter: "Well, do you have any comments on your latest performance against the Congo Cripplers?"
Freddie: "Yes. I'm the shit."
Reporter: "Errr... I don't think we can print that"
Freddie: "Fine. Congo's defense was shit."
Reporter: "Yeah... I don't think that will work either Freddie... can you try not cursing?"
Freddie: "Ok, ok, be that way... I guess I'd just like to give credit where it's due, it was a team effort and I couldn't have done it without my teammates and coaches. And Congo, you guys played your hearts out, and it was a pleasure to compete against you."
Reporter: "OK, thanks..."
Freddie: "Hahaha, you thought I was serious? I AM the Peacekeepers offense! You gotta throw to me nonstop; when the ball don't stick, the offense don't tick! And to the Cripplers, you guys suck! You think that title game last season meant anything? If the coin flip wasn't rigged we'd have won easily!" *looks in the mirror* "Mirror, mirror, on the wall, DAMN I look good!!!"
Reporter: "Hmmm... that will make for an interesting lead on SportsCenter Africa tomorrow... and I don't even have to make up a story! Thanks a lot Freddie!"
Freddie: "Hey, anytime, and while you're at it, let the continent know that ME-3 is a cun..."
