With only a few days until the Superbowl we would like to thank Omar Epps, Head Coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, for taking the time to sit down with a few of us from FaF and answer some questions.*

Omar Epps, Head Coach of the Steelers

 

Fourth and Fifty: Thanks for taking time from your busy schedule to interview with us.

Omar Epps: No problem guys, its actually my pleasure. We have been taping all week, and I needed to get out.

FaF: Taping? I didn’t know you worked with Bill Belichick… So tell us, has it been hard keeping everybody focused with the media circus going on all week?

OE: Media circus? Umm… well, its been just a regular week for us, I wouldn’t say that we have had any more media attention than normal this week., with everything else going on.

FaF: So I guess its true what they say, that you do treat every week like its the Super Bowl, right down to having crazy media days and everything. Is that why your team has had so much success and is favored this week?

OE: What? uh… I think you guys have mistaken me for someone else, I don’t have anything to do with the Super Bowl this week… Don’t you know who I am?

FaF: Of Course, Omar Epps, Head Coach of the Steelers. So do you think Whisenhunt has an advantage being a former Steelers coach, or will LeBeau still be able to confuse him with different looks and blitz packages?

OE: Umm… I think you are thinking of Mike Tomlin, I am an actor. You know House MD, the crappy sequel to Major League: Major League II, and The Program?

FaF: Whaaaaaat?

OE: You know House, the asshole doctor who is addicted to pain killers and inexplicably gets all these walk-in patients with mystery diseases on the brink of death, and while they are about to die, House crosses some line that should get him fired, but makes the diagnosis that no one believes is right even though he’s right every time then saves the patient while all the other doctors secretly wanted the patient to die just so that he would be wrong and they could say I told you so.

FaF: Oh yeah… Sorry we thought we had the right guy… Are you sure you’re not fucking with us?

(a few seconds pass)

FaF: So this is awkward….

OE: I’m outta here…
