Consider it a make good for forcing the Chicks to add 5 pounds in liquor weight since the NFL season opener. Consider it a shift in karma due to our sincere words of comfort to a distraught Falcons fan who bemoaned the reality that an elderly kicker may soon very well be the best player on his team. For whatever reason, (though likely due in great part to one cunning Chick's killer instinct), Deuce McAllister has agreed to actually let US interview him! (And surprisingly enough, we didn't have to resort to sexual favors...not that we're necessarily above that...)
That's right, we're "Chick Chattin" with Dulymus himself.... and we've got more questions than a preteen watching his first porno. The good news is, we're no selfish Chicks. We know there's something you die-hards out there have been dying to know. Well, here's your chance to get your questions answered. Just Email the Chicks your questions for Deuce. We'll post the answers to the best questions on the site once the interview takes place. Be sure to include your name in the e-mail so we can give you credit for your oh-so-insightful query. You can make your questions as professional or profane as you please. Just keep in mind, we're only getting so dirty with #26. (That's our story, and we're sticking to it.)
While you're thinking up something good, we'll start practicing our "serious reporter head nod" in the mirror. Not to mention, we gotta work off these liquor pounds before the big day.
Stay tuned...
Chick Chattin' With Deuce
Why Dulymus is Dy-no-mite!
Before chants of "Drew! Drew! Drew!" rocked the dome and countless screams of "Reggie, take your shirt off!" (okay, maybe that was just me), there was one man giving the faithful Saints flock a reason to believe. C'mon, shout it out with me..."DEEEEUUUUCCCCEEE!!!!"
While it was easy for many of us to get caught up in the Reggie hype, Deuce McAllister in rather dramatic fashion made us all remember why he's one of the most respected runners in the league. In case you missed it, he ran for 143 yards and scored 2 touchdowns in the Divisional Playoff Game against the Eagles and carried about 17 lineman (that's right, some of them came off the sidelines to help out) into the end zone. And at the end of the day, he still remains the same 'ole humble guy he's always been since he first donned a black and gold jersey.
What few may know about Deuce is that he didn't exactly get the welcome mat rolled out for him when he joined the Saints roster in 2001. Rumor has it that Ricky Williams really let his "fool flag fly" when McAllister signed on with the Saints, chiding him about his Rookie status and not exactly going out of his way to help McAllister adapt to the team's offensive scheme. Might sound like typical treatment for a rookie, but when it came McAllister's turn to play the big brother role, he did just the opposite. He welcomed Reggie Bush with open arms and went out of his way to make the much hyped draft pick feel right at home.
