SAN FRANCISCO — Super Bowl week is rife with unorthodox questions, and seated on a riser at the Santa Clara Marriott, Will Campbell fielded one on Tuesday morning that led to an entertaining story.
The Patriots rookie left tackle was asked what his greatest irrational fear in life was. After a pause, the questioner rephrased, and asked Campbell what something that bugged him was.
“Cats,” Campbell replied.
Apparently the feline feud dates back to a night in high school when Campbell was staying over at a friend’s house.
“So crazy,” Campbell said. “I went in the room that I was sleeping in and it was pitch black, dark. You couldn’t see your hand in front of your face. And I take my shirt off, I’m about to get into bed, and I just hear (a screech). And a cat jumped out from under this bed onto my leg. I booted that thing.”
He kicked it?
“Yeah, I kicked it,” Campbell said. “(It was) biting me. I’m not gonna just let it.”
The rookie was asked whether he’d like to apologize to the cat.
“No, it needs to apologize for biting my damn leg!” Campbell said.
