Phil Loadholt Likes "Goosebumps," Doesn't Like Snakes, Will Steal Your Milk

Bob Sansevere of the Pioneer-Press did one of those “get to know the player” pieces on Phil Loadholt, the Vikings’ gigantic new right tackle.  Among the things I now know about Phil that I didn’t before:

• He likes to fish.
• He hears the Mall of America is pretty nice.
• If you are eating lunch with him and you grind your teeth on the fork, he will get angry.
• When he was 7, he used to steal the milk out of his baby sister’s bottle and make her cry.  Perhaps that’s how he got so large?
• He has zero taste in movies.
• Ditto books.
• He hates snakes and spiders.  But how does he feel about scorpions?
• Getting busted for DUI was just a dumb mistake.
• He wants to be President Obama for a day “to find out how hectic it is.”  Bullcrap.  He just wants a shot at Michelle.

I’ve read several of these questionnaire-type pieces on players, and not one of them has ever been into Russian ballet, New Wave cinema or the Flemish masters.  Weird.
