Interview With Neck Dude...Er Jason Hodgson

BSPN: OK so here it goes. I'm just gonna jump right in and ask: did you or did you not have neck surgery?

Jason: The truth about the scar is I was actually attacked by a stranger in the offseason. I wanted to keep it hush hush but there have been way too many comments about it. All I remember from the attack was that he was wearing an "I'm not Kelly Griffin" t-shirt.

BSPN: Well it's glad to see you came out alive. An attack from a coked up bitch like that-you gotta have a big set of cajones to be able to take that. So after a disappointing year in Roswell, what are some goals you have for season 6? Besides the obvious "win teh cup!@!#!".

Jason: We've been pegged to finish in the basement of the league. I've never really been on teams that get much respect (Philly in Season 1 and Brisbane up until last season) so I'm kind of used to it by now. It's always fun to prove people wrong. There is no chance in hell we'll be in the basement under the leadership of Joe and our new coach and former captain when I was running the Clippers, Chris Baird.

BSPN: Who do you think the Aliens future "franchise player" is? Looking at Roswell's recent draft picks, no one really jumps out as a total safe bet, but there could be a few diamonds in the rough. What are your thoughts on these new guys?

Jason: We don't exactly have that superstar player. I think it's pretty well know that we're a team of character guys, buy a guy like Rossi on the front end and Rutka on the back end could turn a few heads in the league and aquiring Karding is huge for the team. The best part of the team is we all get along well, as long as Joe doesn't bring in Pat Maroon behind my back while I am not paying attention

BSPN: But I see Maroon slotting in nicely into your lineup. Wouldn't you enjoy playing aside a player of his extremely high caliber?

Jason: Not when that fat fuck would eat our entire pre-game meal. I know Rossi has about as much respect for the guy as I do, and that's none.

BSPN: Ouch. That hurts man. I'm president of his fanclub ya know. After the recent "attack" which has given you a neck injury, have you given any thought to wearing a neck guard in the coming season?
Jason: I have thought about it, but sadly there isn't a company that makes one in my size.

BSPN: Ah. Well my mom would gladly manufacture one. Would you like some short bread cookies as well?

Jason: Can she make me some chocolate chip ones instead?

BSPN: Hm. I'll have to check into that. Here's some random questions. First off, do you have any pregame rituals?

Jason: I usually have a pre-game nap either at home or in the hotel if we're on the road and then after that take a quick shower, head to the rink and have my pre-game meal.

BSPN: I ask this one to just about everyone: what's your favorite "pump up" song?

Jason: You can never go wrong with Refused - New Noise. I have a few others, but that's one of my regulars

BSPN: Boxers or briefs?

Jason: Boxer breifs.

BSPN: I'll have to remember that...Last one: Do you have anything you'd like to say to the reading public?
Jason: I'm just pumped for the next season and the upcoming world cup and I can't wait to get this started. We're going to shock the world I tell you.

BSPN: When has Canada ever shocked the world at hockey? Psh. U-S-A! U-S-A!

Jason: Umm...when's the last time the US has won anything on an international level...it certainly wasn't the last BHL World Cup and it's not going to happen this time either

BSPN: I'm not here to talk about the past. But the World Cup is for future discussion, thanks for sitting down with us. You're the man...Besides myself of course.

Jason: Thanks, and say hi to your mother for me.

BSPN: Will do!
