Interview with Galen Beers - Redstar Player of the Game (Sandy Point 3/25/07)

HeinekenLacrosse.com:We at Team Heineken and our numerous avid fans would like to find out more about Mr. Galen Beers who was recently named the Team Heineken Lacrosse “Red Star Player of the Game” for his efforts against divisional foe, Sandy Point.

Galen Beers: First of all, it is an honor to be chosen as the "Red Star" player of the game. I am even more humbled that the "World" would like to know more about G Beers. Being born into a family with the last name Beers has come with many perks. One that I am most proud of is my ability to consume massive amounts of beer with no consequences. The fact is, that I am immune to the negative effects of beer. For example, last Friday I drank approximately 20 beers. To any normal human being this would result in many bad decisions, arrest, vomiting, and possible alcohol poisoning. Hate to tell you "regular" people, but I possessed the motor skills and cognitive abilities of a top doctor, preparing for surgery. From what I remember the night went well. I woke up the following morning with only a slight gash under my chin. I apologized to Kelly, my “challenging on the eyes” bed partner for the large spot in the middle of the bed and the fact that I called her Tammy many times throughout the night while "trying to get some"(that’s her wording, I happen to know that I am an active sleeper and was probably just dreaming about Heineken Lax). It turns out her name was actually Rachel, and by approximately 20 beers I mean 6 to 8.

HeinekenLacrosse.com: When Team Heineken approached you with their generous signing bonus, what enticed you to decide to join the team?  Is it really true that you have a clause in your contract that entitles you to free quesadillas after every game?  And if so, would you be interesting in sharing these so called “bonuses” with your teammates?  Is there anyone on the squad that you would be against sharing your bonuses with?

Galen Beers: This is true, I not only get free quesadillas after every game but I receive a complimentary service by Andy “too busy to lax or hang out” Murray. And as many of my teammates know, I’m not very good at sharing.

Galen Beers continues to prove as illusive to the camera as he is on the field. This only known photo of Beers was snapped back in 2002 while posing for the Cornell yearbook. The photo was later used in a 2005 Baltimore City wanted poster. His disdain for the cameraman and other "regular" people comes through well in this photo.


HeinekenLacrosse.com: In a recent game, you killed an entire 3 minute "illegal stick" penalty all by yourself.  What was going thru your head while you were running around?   Do you feel any angst towards Mike Haertel for taking such a penalty and polluting the game with his cheating antics?  Have you spoken your mind to him concerning the issue?  And what advice can you offer to long poles in situations like this that may occur in the future?

Galen Beers: I have no hard feelings for Mr. Haertel. The refs, who have yet to call a fair game in my opinion, screwed him, no lube. I really wish that there were a way to make the refs pay for their horrible decisions. Since my wining doesn’t seem to work, maybe we can make them listen to Justin Berry talk about himself. This would be extremely painful and never ending.

HeinekenLacrosse.com: Everyone thinks that you're lying when you stated that you went to "Cornell University".  After some digging, we found that this information was in fact true!   Ethan Haire and Will Phillips are claiming to be smarter than you because they went to rival Ivy League school UPenn.  What do you think of these allegations?  Which institution has better looking babes?   And are these lads jealous b/c Cornell is 5-2 in the past 7 meetings between the two teams?

Galen Beers: I have to agree with Will and Ethan, if I am accepted to a school; it probably means they are not looking for the cream of the crop intellectually. I feel sorry for both of them if they had lesser talent “babe” wise. Sorry to say that we have them stomped in the lax category though. 4-0 during my tenure and I won’t even mention the score this past Saturday.

HeinekenLacrosse.com:The fans (especially the females) want to know what type of lady you look for.  Many have changed their daily lifestyles just to get a glimpse of you playing lacrosse, brushing your teeth or just taking a nap.   Where can these girls see Galen the person out on the weekends?  Where are your hangouts?  What types of activities take place?  And lastly, would you think it was inappropriate if a girl did not offer to pay on your first date?

Galen Beers: First of all, you’re assuming that I’m not gay, and I thank you for that. I spend most of my time and money drinking Heineken at Portside, obviously. I can occasionally be found in Federal Hill arguing with Phillips and Lauer about who can drink a case faster.  

HeinekenLacrosse.com:Can you explain the absence of young Andy Murray this season? Might it be that Justin Berry's constant personal jabs toward Murray finally drove him into hiding?

Galen Beers: I have to be honest; I have no explanation of Murray absence. But I do think he’s been to as many games as Berry.
