Chat with Mo's captain Eric Ott

I had a quick email exchange with Freakin' Eskimos captain Eric Ott the other day. Transcript is below:

Me: Eric! Dude, I need to fire off some questions to you for our stellar breaking news blog. After all, the defending champs are heading into the playoffs on a tough loss. Are you worried? Who do you guys fear the most? Is it true the Eskimos don’t like beer?

Ott: We aren't really worried. This league is just about making the playoffs. Seeds don't really matter as everyone knows the 4-5 teams that you have to go through to win it all. Each one of those teams presents a different kind of matchup, so we just have to be ready for that. Thankfully we have superior coaching and leadership.

As far as fear, Eskimos have no fear. Have you seen where we live? It is a house made of ice. We fish in a hole in ice. We fight off polar bears and sea lions on a regular basis. Ice is our home so playing hockey is just natural for us.

Do the Eskimos like beer??? Does crap stick to a polar bear's fur? What sort of hockey players would we be if we didn't like beer? We drink Bud, Molson, Root, Coors, and so on just like everyone else.
