When the average person thinks about the Ravens' defense, they think about Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, and Terrell Suggs. This New York Timesarticle is going to have us thinking about Bernard Pollard in another light though.
There's at least four essential facts about the guy: he talks very, very loudly ("Ryan Moats, a former running back who was a teammate of Pollard’s on the Houston Texans, said Pollard’s primary mode of self-expression was yelling — not because he is angry, but because this apparently is the only way he knows how to communicate."), takes his defense extremely seriously ("If I came to your house with the doors locked, and I just kicked it down and tried to steal stuff, you’re going to defend your house, right? So that’s the stand I take."), scares the crap out of reporters just because (“I’m going to use my fist on you!” he said. Then he smiled. “I’m joking, man. Don’t sue me.”), and prefers doing interviews in the nude. And that's "nude" as in the dude just doesn't like wearing pants, according to the article:
None
Different strokes for different folks, we guess. At least Pollard wears the pants on the field though. Shout outs to Stevan Ridley.
