Philet of Soul Interviews FB/LB Raheem Orr - 05 FEBRUARY 2006
Belatedly resuming our interviews from 2/5, PhiletOfSoul.com presents to you Soul FB/LB Raheem Orr.
What's your favorite part about playing in Philly?
It's gotta be the fans. They love sports down here. Being from the area, and actually coming in and playing in Philadelphia, I see fans on the street. They say, "Hey how you doin'! Don't you play for the Soul?" and things like that. I actually got that a few times this week after winning last week. So I'll have to say the fans.
Pat's or Geno's?
Don't know.
Utz or Herr's?
Utz. I've got a few bags in the house to be honest with you.
Delilah's or Cheerleaders?
Both! Both.
Which Jessica? Simpson, Biel, Alba, or Rabbit?
Simpson.
Do you have any embarrassing pregame rituals you don't want anyone to know about?
You want an honest answer on that one? Before we come out of the tunnel, I kinda tear out. Not crying, but tearing. I think it's because of being away from football, and having another opportunity to come back and play the game again. I get so emotional, and I thank God for getting another professional opportunity.
Do you have any nicknames?
Coach Pat Downey calls me 'Heem.
Who are the best and worst singers in the locker room?
I don't think we have any good singers in the locker room, so I'll say we're all the worst. *laughs*
Have you ever climbed the net?
What, that net? *points* Noooo no, I'm scared of heights. You won't ever see me climbing that net.
Word around town is that Dallas sucks. What's your take?
No comment. They've got a message board up there, so no comment. After we've played them, I'll let the fans get their own view. As for me, I stay away from grudges like that.
An admirable view, Mr. Orr. Unfortunately, it's not quite as chant-a-riffic as "Dallas Sucks." On the bright side, we all now know that the Soul's line coach is named after the favorite pastime of Wachovia Security.
