Arian Foster Gave The Same Answer 11 Times In A 90-Second Interview

Arian Foster formally talked to media today for the first time since last season ended, but he didn't give them anything useful. The Texans running back basically repeated the same answer, about trying to be the best teammate he can be, for a minute and a half before peacing out. Though some Texans beat writers on deadline probably weren't amused, the stunt's funny to the rest of us.

Dave Zangaro of CSN Houston posted the full transcript of the session. It's honestly not much different than what most players already say:

Question: How do you feel? Were you 100 percent out there today?

Foster: I'm just out here trying to be the best teammate I can be and I'm gonna work hard at doing that.

Q: Physically, you're good to go?

F: Yeah, I'm just out here, working hard every single day, trying to be the best teammate I can be.

Q: What did it mean to be able to get back out here and start working, Arian? And get back with your teammates?

F: You know, being with your teammates and being the best teammate you can be is what you strive to do. So that's what I'm out here for.

Q: Your teammates talk about how they want to see you out here. They know what you mean to this ballclub. What does all that stuff mean to you, Arian?
