Anyways, aside from the pregnancy group here I am getting more involved with the United Furry Football League and helping that grow. So this is a short interview with Kennith Shrader from the UFFL's North Florida Renegades, a player I made last year. And just to try to keep things in order between him and Leon DeCanta, I will have Shrader's text in orange.","content":"WFST - Tallahassee's home for all of your furry sport's needs!\n\nAnd we are back to the Leon DeCanta show! \u0026nbsp;I'm Leon DeCanta, the rat that is a sports fanatic. \u0026nbsp;With us now is a guy that really doesn't need an introduction but we'll give him one anyways. \u0026nbsp;He is a UFFL Defensive Lineman for the North Florida Renegades and he is Tallahassee's favorite rookie of the year, beating out a couple of others from the FBA's Typhoons. \u0026nbsp;Let's give it up for Kennith 'The Shredder' Shrader! \u0026nbsp;Welcome back, Kennith.\n\nOh, it's good to be back here, dude. \u0026nbsp;Thank you for having me and thank the fans for choosing me as Tallahassee's rookie of the year.\n\nNo problem, man. \u0026nbsp;Now let's get right to business and talk about last year's numbers. \u0026nbsp;You missed two weeks for a concussion; but other than that you had 53 tackles, five of them resulted in a loss of yards and you only had four sacks. \u0026nbsp;That's actually not bad for a rookie season. \u0026nbsp;Should we expect more of that this season?\n\nWell, considering that we have the toughest defense in the league, I would say that is some good stats. \u0026nbsp;We're all doing our jobs on the field and sometimes we make good plays. \u0026nbsp;So yeah, you should see more of that not just from me but from every other defensive guys.\n\nNot only that but with the new picks from the draft, I feel that your defense will be much tougher. \u0026nbsp;I can't wait to see what you guys will do this season. \u0026nbsp;Now as far as your training goes, has that changed at all? \u0026nbsp;You seem to be a bit more buff than when I last saw you here.\n\nNot really, Leon. \u0026nbsp;Although we do have our club gym to our full use, I still have times where I go outside my home and chop wood as well as move them to a storage area. \u0026nbsp;Sure, it is not as cold here as it is in Indiana, but you can't be too prepared.\n\nOh yeah, it is usually tropical out here, Kennith. \u0026nbsp;Speaking of Indiana, how is your family doing? \u0026nbsp;Have they made trips over here to see you play?\n\nMy family is doing well. \u0026nbsp;My dad came over for the home opener and then the family returned during Thanksgiving. \u0026nbsp;My mom had plans on redecorating my house but I had to tell her that I am a bigger boy than when I lived with them.\n\n**\\*Chuckles\\*** \u0026nbsp;That is definitely good to hear; having family support is important. \u0026nbsp;Now we go from your family to the family here being your team. \u0026nbsp;The draft has passed and we have three new players to join the squad; Michelle Housley at quarterback, Thomas Cassidy at Defensive Line, and Aaron Foster at Safety. \u0026nbsp;What do you think about each of them?\n\nYou know; there's something about reptiles that draws me to them. \u0026nbsp;Justin Brown being a gecko at Vegas, Irvin Colbert and John Gradkowski being alligators and then Hendrix Blake... dude, he's a T-Rex! \u0026nbsp;So seeing Thomas Cassidy come in as a cobra... you have no idea. \u0026nbsp;We hit it off immediately; we have a good connection on and off the field. \u0026nbsp;I know he will bruise any opponents that goes his way. \u0026nbsp;Aaron Foster... if you came in the locker room and smelled nuts, then be sure he is cooking and is letting everyone try out his finished product. \u0026nbsp;Most of the time it is good; if someone wanted a meat alternative, then this is your guy. \u0026nbsp;Aside from that, he is quick for a squirrel of his size. \u0026nbsp;I would love to see some interceptions from him in a few games. \u0026nbsp;And Michelle Housley is quick as well. \u0026nbsp;I have seen a lot of running games from her even though she is a quarterback. \u0026nbsp;I think the coach is helping her out with scrambling better and running when the time is right. \u0026nbsp;I would say about halfway the season she should be primed for the postseason.\n\nWhoa! \u0026nbsp;Already talking into the future! \u0026nbsp;We will get to that in a minute. \u0026nbsp;I want to stay with your new players. \u0026nbsp;Now two of them, Housley and Foster, are from Canada. \u0026nbsp;In fact we saw quite a few rookies coming in from the north. \u0026nbsp;What do you think about these players coming here to play professional football?\n\nLet them! \u0026nbsp;If they have the skills and they know they are working hard to be noticed, then the teams here will notice; as you said a good number of them are playing as rookies now. \u0026nbsp;And don't forget the ones that are already playing.\n\nOf course. \u0026nbsp;I wasn't trying to imply that they shouldn't play here. \u0026nbsp;But of all the ones that have been drafted this year, people are talking about the number one pick, running back Jean-Entienne Tremblay... (slightly mispronounced)\n\nJean-Etienne Tremblay\n\nYeah, however he is pronounced.\n\nMichelle Housley had us pronounce their names over and over until we got it right. \u0026nbsp;Quite funny hearing some of them actually say the names. \u0026nbsp;The french is not strong with them.\n\nI see. \u0026nbsp;I guess I should join that group. \u0026nbsp;Anyways, you meet him and the Chicago Outlaws in week three and already everyone is talking about the match-up between you two. \u0026nbsp;He is a big bear at 6'4\" and 255 pounds and you're a big German Shepherd at 6'3\" and 300 pounds. \u0026nbsp;Do you think you can stop him at the short game?\n\nWe have actually talked before the draft and he's a real nice guy. \u0026nbsp;As far as him playing, he may be a challenge but I can take on any challenge coming my way. \u0026nbsp;I know we will meet a few times and I would love to see how he can get around me.\n\n'The Shredder' vs 'Le Pickup'; people are already taking bets at Vegas and they're putting the odds against you. \u0026nbsp;You need to prove them wrong, Kennith.\n\nLook, I play as hard as I can. \u0026nbsp;And if he or any other player get away from me, I know I will get them back at the next play. \u0026nbsp;I always do. \u0026nbsp;And I will always get at the quarterback.\n\nOh yes, speaking of, I heard there is a plush doll of you coming out; the Shrader Sack. \u0026nbsp;I am actually holding it right now; an 11\" version of you in uniform holding a potato sack. \u0026nbsp; The idea is that every time you make a sack, the fans wave this about. \u0026nbsp;Let me tell you right now that the idea is entirely false. \u0026nbsp;They will be waving this doll every time you are on the field. \u0026nbsp;We want to spread that energy to you so that you can make that sack. \u0026nbsp;In fact, we want to see a sack every game from you!\n\n**\\*chuckles a bit\\*** I can't promise you all of that but I will be doing my best to put pressure on the quarterback when I see them open. \u0026nbsp;And I'm proud of how it came out. \u0026nbsp;I think the sack itself was a last minute add-on but I know our fans will enjoy it no matter where they are.\n\nThey will definitely sell out; trust me on that one. \u0026nbsp;Have you sent these to your family?\n\nEveryone in my family has one as we speak. \u0026nbsp;There are also a few players that wanted one. \u0026nbsp;I already gave a couple to Artemis Griner and Coby Carson...\n\nLet me stop you there for a second! \u0026nbsp;I want your thoughts on Coby Carson right now. \u0026nbsp;We have been following him through social media and it seems that his antics have been much worse now than at his rookie season. \u0026nbsp;He is not only hated by the FBA players but even players from the UFFL. \u0026nbsp;I mean he has gotten on a rookie's bad side for talking about his dead father and I'm pretty sure someone from the FBA has beat him up again. \u0026nbsp;I'm almost ready to see him get banned from Tweeter at any minute.\n\nYou know what? \u0026nbsp;He contacted me a couple days ago talking about a condition he's going through-\n\nWhich I don't believe for a second! \u0026nbsp;What kind of condition does he have that would make him act more like a jerk to everyone including his teammates?\n\nI don't know; but it has been confirmed by some of his other teammates. \u0026nbsp;I am told that he is going through some physical changes as well. \u0026nbsp;I don't want to see him sidelined with this; I know he is brutal on the field and I can't wait to see him when he is better.\n\nPhysical changes? \u0026nbsp;I'll believe it when I see it. \u0026nbsp;In fact... whoever is Coby's agent, I want to set up an interview with him when the Bandits come here to play! \u0026nbsp;I want him to personally tell me why he is the way he is. \u0026nbsp;Sorry, I just needed to get that off my chest. \u0026nbsp;Before we go I want to ask about your personal life. \u0026nbsp;Do you have any ladies that is catching your eye?\n\nOh dear... laughs I have too many fan mail and love letters from various groups of people. \u0026nbsp;And yet I am still single. \u0026nbsp;I may be talking to a female or two.\n\nDoes that include Artemis Griner?\n\nWe talk but we're only good friends.\n\nDon't give me that. \u0026nbsp;I have sources that says that you two talk on the phone a lot and that you two were out late at night after the preseason game with the Dons. \u0026nbsp;Tell me there is something going on.\n\nWe did hang out after the game but that shouldn't mean anything.\n\nAll right, all right. \u0026nbsp;We'll keep it a secret between the two of us \u0026nbsp;And that will do it for now. \u0026nbsp;You can catch Kennith Shrader at the home opener in week two when the Renegades face the Texas Ramblers. \u0026nbsp;Kennith, thank you once again and I hope to see you near the end of the season.\n\nYou're welcome, Leon.\n\nAnd we will be right back to the Leon DeCanta show after this word.\n\n**Kennith Shrader and Leon DeCanta are created by me**\n\n**Other UFFL players mentioned\u0026nbsp;are created by their respective players**\n\n**Tallahassee Typhoons is a part of the Furry Basketball Association -\u0026nbsp;[http://furrybasketball.com](http://furrybasketball.com)%2C/**\n\n**North Florida Renegades, Chicago Outlaws,\u0026nbsp;Las Vegas Bandits, California Dons, and the Texas Ramblers is created by the United Furry Football League -\u0026nbsp;[http://faff.wikia.com/wiki/The\\_UFFL\\_Wiki](http://faff.wikia.com/wiki/The_UFFL_Wiki)**\n\n**(Hope I didn't miss anything else from there)**\n\n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"United Furry Football League","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/908889-dons-nation-1.json"}}
