Philet of Soul Interviews DS Kevin Gaines - 09 APRIL 06
This week's second victim subject is veteran DS Kevin Gaines. If you rearrange the letters, it spells Vain Keg Sine.
We're pretty sure that doesn't mean much of anything.
What's your favorite part about playing in Philly?
The fans... the fans are great. They let you know when you're doing bad, and when you're doing good, they're on the scene. Always.
Do you have a favorite cheesesteak house?
Not yet. You gotta tell me one. *laughs* We live so far out, we can't get to Philly every day.
Which is your favorite Jessica: Simpson, Biel, Alba, or Rabbit?
Favorite Jessica?!? I'll say Biel [Bill with a twang?], that was my daddy's name.
Boxers or briefs?
Oh, boxers.
Do you play video games?
Not really. I've played the Arena game. It's pretty good.
Any geeky hobbies?
I collect baseball hats.
Who's your favorite superhero?
It's gotta be Spiderman!
Any significant to your jersey number?
No, not really... when I got it, I made a name for myself in arena football, so I just kept it.
Any embarrassing pregame rituals you don't want anyone to know about?
Naw, nothing embarrassing. Just the normal stuff, I get in there, get
my mind right.
Do you have any nicknames?
Aw, KG, man! Everyone knows that... Hitman... *laughs*
Have you ever climbed the net?
Yeah, I've climbed the net before. The day before a game, the ball got
stuck up there so I climbed up and got it.
Who's the best and worst singer in the locker room?
Let's see... ain't nobody sings in the locker room! *laughs* There ain't no best, so everybody's BAD!
Word around town is that Dallas sucks. What's your take?
Dallas sucks! *laughs*
Mr. Gaines was our first interviewee to have climbed the net. PhiletOfSoul.com's suggestion: spice it up a bit. Say you used the net to save a child from a burning building. Or rescued a damsel in distress. Or stole the shark out of the bear's hands from above and made it your bitch. Think of this humble suggestion as our way of saying, "Thank you for your time."
