(S10) - PT 2 - Pregame Hype

[kckolbe]

Unlike a lot of QBs, Fitzpatrick doesn't listen to anything to hype himself up. He is already a pretty high-strung guy, and his biggest pre-game challenge is to keep nerves from getting to him. In his case, he listens to music to relax him. He is quite particular about what he listens to. The biggest rule is no covers. Yeah, there’s a chance it will be Doug Anthony All Stars, but the odds are very much against him. He could end up with some “You Are My Sunshine,” which, if you listen carefully, reveals the sound of the vocalist dragging a razor blade across her wrist. Mash-ups are perfectly acceptable, as those are light comedy, which is exactly his thing. Anything by Tripod is generally a safe bet as well. Sometimes, if feeling retro, he’ll put on American Pie, since that is a low-key song, but also long as fuck, which makes it appropriate for this PT, which also feels too long. If he’s in a bad mood, though, he’ll put on some music that Asipi left in the locker room, crank it up to full blast, and have a good laugh as they all make fun of how bad it is.
