From the NY Post’s Andrew Marchand.
On WFAN yesterday morning, former Patriots and Bills defensive lineman Fred Smerlas used derogatory slang for homosexuals in describing the appearance of USC coach Pete Carroll.
Smerlas (above, left), who works for Boston all-sports station WEEI, said in an interview with WFAN’s Chris Russo that Carroll looked “light in the heels” and “fairy.” Russo didn’t challenge Smerlas on the use of the slang.
“He caught me by surprise by saying it,” Russo said via phone. “I came back and I talked about [Carroll’s] presence. It was a poor of choice of words [by Smerlas].”
Smerlas ” who was actually pretty insightful before his off-color remarks ” made the comment when asked about 34-year-old Eric Mangini, New England’s defensive coordinator, who is a candidate to be the Jets’ head coach.
Smerlas brought up Carroll to point out that when Carroll became the Patriots’ coach, his youthful look lacked presence. Smerlas, though, chose the wrong words.
“It was a weird thing to say,” Russo said.
I guess it would be a poor choice of words if I said Fred Smerlas looks like the “Leatherman from the Village People” but “dressed by Peter Allen”.
and he’s friends with Lt. Dangle, too.
I’m pretty sure I have a “movie” in my collection with that motherfucker in it. As I recall, he nutted too quick in dude’s face and didn’t let dude lick it, but bitch-grabbed his head and soaked the nut up himself with his pushbroom. Wait, no, that was “Runaway,” with Gene Simmons.
Fred is the best, TOTALLY AWESOME, on and off the field, THE BEST. I hope he gets this and has a great holiday and gives me a call. I may be in Boston soon and would love to see him. 585-267-9956. BEST WISHES FREDDIE!!

Fred Smerlis is a neo nazi, masogonist, right wing neo con with the IQ that is less than the number on his jersey.
His restaurant sucks and has been cited for health code violations.
We have to suffer through his moronic comments on the radio in Boston, He sounds like he should be in a “special” home for the chronically stupid.
His voice sounds like he’s trying to sound even dumber than he is. He literally sounds like a cartoon character of a big dumb fool, which he is.
