Shawne Merriman: Virtual Asskicker

Shawne Merriman is another one of those athletes with a presence in the vast world of gaming. Apparently he's got some game in development, but frankly I don't speak gamer all that well. Fortunately the interview primarily focuses on the bone-crushing (sorry Priest) linebacker himself, and it's peppered with gems...

I knocked this one guy through the fence. It just sounded like a loud hit, but it was actually him going through the fence that made it that much louder.

Cyberball is the coolest game of all time because that's how people look after I hit them. They break up into little pieces and you have to go buy new ones.

The Lights Out dance was stupid and he got busted using an enhancer, but I still love that crazy fucker. I'm gonna have to buy one of those Xboxy thingies. Anything to befriend Gilbert...
