[ Reporter Peter King is sitting down with two Linebackers that play for San Diego Chargers. He sips his coffee, and gets ready to interview Jerry Frank and Homer Taylor]

Reporter: Thanks for joining us today Jerry and Homer, very glad to have you.

Jerry: Thanks we are glad to be here

Reporter: So first thing is first, how was your offseason?

Jerry: Well Peter, it was good. I had a monthly subscription to 24/7 hour fitness, and I really feel like I improved my Conditioning and Strength. I wanted to improve my physical abilities, and lead the Defense to a playoff win.

Reporter: Nice, What about you Homer?

Homer: Well it was very good for me. I got drafted at pick #11, and going to a very good team. I love being a winner, and that always helps my morale. For Off season workouts, I did  football drills and improved my football game. I acknowledge that I must improve my Strength, however I wanted to improve my skills more than anything, since I am moving to a higher level.

Reporter: Well explained.. Now, you guys both played at Ohio State, and you guys both won a championship together. Tell me how you guys first met, and how your relationship has been.

Jerry: Homer has been my best friend for 5 years now. We have been close, even after I left OSU. I first met Homer in a High School football game. Not many people know this, but I was raised from Madeira, Ohio, and Homer was raised from Akron, Ohio.  I was a Senior HS football player, getting ready for a semifinal playoff game. We were playing Akron Senior High School, and Homer was a sophomore LB. I was playing Tailback, and it was 4th and 2 with the game on the line. The QB snapped the ball, and hand it off to me.. I thought I got the first down, then out of no where, Homer comes in, and delivers the biggest hit in my career. We were 2 inches short of the first down, and Homer’s Akron High School later won the State Championship. After that hit, I knew I had to congratulate him, and get to know him a little. We talked a little, and later became friends.

Homer: (chuckles), Yeah I remember that hit. That was my best hit of ALL TIME.

Reporter: Nice story, and congrats Homer for winning both HS and College championships. Now, both of you guys commited to Ohio State to play football. Tell me, how they got you guys.

Homer: My hometown was Akron, Ohio, and Columbus was just an hour away. The Hometown advantage played a part of it, and they gave me lots of expensive gifts, such as Cars, and a nice MAC Laptop.

Reporter: Gifts?, Isn’t that illegal to give gifts to recruits?

Homer: Well, yes it is, However I needed those things, so I gladly accepted .

Reporter: Alrity then, another former OSU player fessing up.

Homer: Yup, the truth has to be told.

Jerry: I agree, even though I didn’t receive any gifts, what they did was wrong.  Regardless, I will always be a Buckeye and so will Homer.

Reporter: This question is for Jerry Frank. Jerry, you have accomplished a lot in the EFL already. You have been a 2x pro bowl starter, and the leader of the Chargers Defense. Your future looks very bright right now, and I must ask you, what else do you hope to accomplish in your career?

Jerry: This is easy, I want to win championships. I lost out in HS, but got one in College. Now I hope I  can win one on the biggest stage (pros).

Reporter: Thank you, and this question is for Homer Taylor. Homer, you will be a rookie Linebacker for the Chargers next season. What is your ultimate rookie goal?

Homer: To win games, and perform. I understand I might not be the star I was in college, but I want to perform, and win games

Reporter: We want you guys to win also. Final question for both Gentlemen. Which team is your biggest rival? Which team do you hate the most? Could be college or pros.

Jerry: Got to be KCC. They play dirty, and have no class. They are not that good, and talk way too much trash. Every time we play KC, i want to rip their heads off.

Homer: Mine is Michigan. Sorry Jerry, but Michigan is just horrible. They always feel sorry for themselves and give us excuses why they lose to us. Michigan’s HC Alan Berry even went as far as making out with my girlfriend. I F**Kin hate them. Sorry for my language.

Reporter: Haha it’s alright. Well thanks for joining me today Homer and Jerry. I wish both of you guys luck, and go CHARGERS!!
