Chris Bortensen caught up with Freddie before his formal introductory press conference.
Bortensen: "Congratulations Freddie. This move surprised a lot of people out there; why did you make it?"
Freddie: "I've spent my entire career listening to that 'all for one' 'no I in team' bullshit. When I'm on a team, I AM the team, and there's a 'me' in team, anyways. I want a place where I can shine, sell jerseys, and be recognized as the goddamn superstar that I am."
Bortensen: "That's all fine and good, but ABD has been in APL for their entire existence, never sniffing the newly created World League. Does that concern you?"
Freddie: "Man, I've been to the World League, so I can take this team to the next level. Just get me the ball every other down and we'll be fine, you know? God didn't give me these hands for nothing."
Bortensen: "Do you think ABD is going in the right direction?"
Freddie: "Of course! They just signed me."
Bortensen: "Both you and ABD are going through long playoff droughts. What makes the fusion of team and player here into a formula for success?"
Freddie: "When Freddie is allowed to be Freddie, there's nobody better. There aren't any coaches here who will try to rein in my greatness."
Bortensen: "The APL team The Chad OchoCinco has talked a lot of trash directed at your new team. You haven't been a target yet, but do you have anything to say to them?"
Freddie: "Well first of all, tell their corners that they're on MY list and I'll be sending THEM Pepto-Bismol before our game this year. Thanks in advance. Anyways, they haven't played a game in APL yet, and I'm a legend, so what is there to say? Will they be carrying our bags on road trips? Tell them to be extra careful with the Asian midget whores I shove in my red duffel bag, and I only tip in pennies, so bring a glass jar."
Bortensen: "Right... er... see you on the field."
