Reporters caught up with a strangely reclusive Freddie Mitchell today as he thought up a fake injury to keep him out of practice:
Reporter: "So Freddie, why have you been so quiet this year? To be honest we miss the old Freddie"
Freddie: "The old Freddie? I haven't changed a bit. But usually I only talk when there's a reason to, and this year we've been steamrolling our competition so badly, it's not worth it"
Reporter: "You've had a poor statistical season so far; any reason for this?"
Freddie: "All that matters is 12-1. And without my blocking our running game wouldn't be as dominant as it is today. I do the dirty work and get no respect for it"
Reporter: "Any comment on dlee's recent words towards the UN?"
Freddie: "The fact that they won it all last year, and we beat them in a scrimmage, shows the weakness of the pathetic Lion Conference. I can't wait to take them down again in a few days. dlee... sounds a lot like D3, and the UN owns both of them"
Reporter: "Speaking of D3, what's your take on the recent events surrounding him and the Centurians?"
Freddie: "I'll miss having willm as an owner in our league because his gameplans were pure comedy. As for ME-3, it's nice to know that he's already fighting with his new owner, who is a good guy by the way. ME-3 really thinks he can pick who he should be traded to? What a joke... run for more than 23 yards against us, then we'll talk"
Reporter: "How are your off-field ventures going, Freddie?"
Freddie: "Better than ever. There are now 180 'Freddie's Foxxxes' franchises throughout Africa, including 15 new ones in Djibouti - those Djiboutians can't get enough of the Foxxxes - and although the label is holding back my rap CD, it just leaves me more time to record my latest ME-3 diss track, '23 Yards,' which I promise will be a huge radio hit in Africa, at least to the 17 people in Africa who have radios"
Reporter: "Well it was good catching up with you, now are you ready to guarantee a win against a solid NEThawks team?"
Freddie: "Consider it done. If 'Blown Coverage' is listening, after the game, the Pepto-Bismol is on me."
Reporter: "So Freddie, why have you been so quiet this year? To be honest we miss the old Freddie"

Freddie will be eating turf come Saturday, that is if he gets the ball. I have a SS sitting out there just waiting for him, and I dare him to try to block him! I'm having a hard time containing him as he has declared Freddie as his NEXT VICTIM!! He hopes to have the opportunity to rattle Freddie's cage, you know, knock a little mucus loose! HA, you'll be known as the "Sultan of Snot"!! Also, with all of your supposedly largely profitable ventures why isn't the first level of your stadium done? Why don't you have all of the seats filled in on the sections you currently do have? I could go on and on with this, because of course we have the money to do so
