After the Necaxa-Tigres game, I went down to try and talk to some players and, of course, to take some pictures. I had planned on taking some of Kleber. I just didn't realize he'd be sporting some NFL colors.Maybe Kleber happened on the Colts-Chiefs game on Saturday. Or maybe he just likes blue. Or maybe he was turned on to the NFL and pigskin football when he was in Mexico City. After all, the NFL is very popular in Mexico City. Heck, former NFL commish Paul Tagliabue said that the next time the NFL expanded, it would be to Mexico. Of course, that would have been under his watch and I don't think the NFL would or should expand, at least not in the foreseeable future.
Anyway, Kleber is talking into a cell phone. There are some reporters who actually conduct live interviews from the mixed zones, the area where the players pass through between the locker rooms and their bus. It's funny because these guys will be in their radio voices and dominating interviews and then they'll ask the player to say a greeting to their listeners (Something like, This is Kleber Boas and you are listening to 103.5, or something). It's actually kind of annoying because I don't try and write my stories in front of everyone else but whatever.
