First Interview With Colbert

Colbert had his first interview as Captain on TEAM 1200's Two Dorks with Dean Brown and Gord Wilson. They caught up with him just as he was preparing for practice.

He said it feels great; really exciting. He said he used to come watch the games with his dad (Arnprior native), so to be captain is really exciting. This is his first letter.

When asked if he will change anything now that he is captain, he said that he got the C for the way he plays and played, so he can't see changing too much. He might be more vocal.

Dean asked him if the thought of having to be the go-between with Killer and the team intimidated him. Colbert responded by saying yes, as Killer can be "a little intense".

He was asked if he was going to learn Czech, and he said no, that he had already learned a few words (= swearing) already and that would be all.

He was also told to start practicing the art of directional swearing when dealing with the refs (e.g., "that's a blank joke" versus "you're a blank joke"). He said he would work on that this week.

Colbert said he was feeling great, and he is looking forward to getting the injured guys back. He is looking forward to the re-match with Sudbury.
