Exclusive Jeremy Roenick Interview

Wow, it's been a long time since I chimed in about Jeremy Roenick here on LetsGoTickles. Apparently, forgetting about JR is a pretty easy thing to do. I guess that's why he needs to keep opening his pie-hole to any feckless reporter that will listen, excreting his self-promoting blatherings all over the newspapers like a puppy in training. And as the trade deadline approached, JR made it known to the world that he would gladly accept a trade to a playoff bound team. I'm sure there are a few Kings fans who are still paying off the 05-06 Kings Season Tickets that they put on their credit cards who, for once, were glad they weren't a "playoff bound team". But while 29 general managers collectively peed their pants in laughter, the trade deadline came and went without so much as a "thanks, but no thanks" for Mr. Roenick. Well, in this LetsGoTickles exclusive, I spoke to JR by phone in his first interview after not being traded to a contender.

LetsGoTickles: Hey JR, how are you today?

Jeremy Roenick: Uh, good.

LGT: So are you disappointed that no GM's of "Stanley Cup contenders" were drunk enough to trade for you at the deadline?

JR: Who is this?

LGT: Assholesayswhat.

JR: What?

LGT: Huh?

JR: How did you get this number?

LGT: I think they should bypass the three-year waiting period and get you inducted into the Hall of Lame immediately. Wouldn't you agree.

JR: Well, I'm still playing, so it's a bit early to start talking about the Hall of Fame...

LGT: No, I said "Hall of Lame". LAME. It's not too early for that, I don't think.

JR: Look, don't call me anymore...

LGT: Homosayswhat.

JR: What?

LGT: Huh?

I hope to bring you Part 2 of my exclusive interview with Jeremy Roenick soon, but that depends entirely on JR's ability to block calls on his cell phone. I'll keep you posted.
