Philet of Soul Interviews OL/DL EJ Burt - 09 APRIL 06
Soul OL/DL EJ Burt juggled kids, memorabilia, press, and moms to do this interview. We think that's mighty impressive, and we thank him for his graciousness.
What's your favorite part about playing in Philly?
The fans. They're totally so into it. Nothing better than the fans being there to love you, and there to correct you when you mess up.
Do you have a favorite cheesesteak house?
To tell the truth I haven't even had a cheesesteak yet!
Delilah's or Cheerleaders?
I haven't been to either one yet... we stay so far away from everything, it's tough.
Which is your favorite Jessica: Simpson, Biel, Alba, or Rab-
Alba. Definitely Alba.
Do you play video games?
I'm playing The Godfather right now. I love that game. I'm hooked on it right now.
What's the one movie you're embarrassed to admit that you like?
Wow... that's tough. It's been a while, but I guess I can say Grease. I used to like it back in the day. *laughs*
Who's your favorite superhero?
Hmm... probably Wolverine, from X-Men.
Any significance to your jersey number?
Nah... I've had it since my rookie year and I've just stuck with it. I was 97 in af2, and I was 51 in college. When I came up my rookie year, 97 was taken, so I took 96 and just stuck with it.
Any nicknames you'd like to pass on to the fans?
*laughs* My nickname used to be The Godfather in college. I'm hooked on anything that says "The Godfather" so...
Any embarrassing pregame rituals you don't want anyone to know about?
I can't look into the mirror once I get into the stadium. Every time I looked into the mirror before a game, we lost that game, so I try to avoid every mirror that's in the locker room.
Word around town is that Dallas sucks. What's your take?
Sucks... do you have a word that's worse than that? *laughs*
PhiletOfSoul.com thinks Mr. Burt needs to try a cheesesteak. From Delilah's. Where there's no kids running around, and you can say things worse than "sucks" without the burden of guilt.
