Rumor all season among us media types has been that guard Rich Ohrnberger is one of the funniest players on the team. I had not been privy to the big fella's sense of humor until yesterday morning.

In a conference call with reporters, Ohrnberger revealed his lighter side. He said he's started to open up a bit this season because "the coaches were gaining more confidence in me as a player." In fact, he said he's more confident now, which means he's also more loose around the team.

"I promise you now I'm pretty comfortable and I'll crack jokes," he said.

He'll jabber with the opposing defensive linemen on Saturdays, asking about the weather or if they've seen any recent movies. Or he'll talk to the referees about golf.

"I don't know a ton about golf," he said, "but I think I can hold my own in a 30 second conversation during a TV time out."

Reporters also asked Ohrnberger about the offensive line's Thursday evening barbecue and film sessions, which turned into a manifesto his teammates' eating habits.

"Gerald [Cadogan] will swing by [my apartment] every once and a while looking for snacks," he said. "Sometimes you'll have, maybe, hidden treats or something for yourself."

He paused and added: "I can't think of any fat jokes at the moment."

So, who on the offensive line eats the most?

"I guess [Dennis] Landolt," Ohrnberger said. "He probably eats more peanut butter sandwiches than I previously thought humanly possible. He takes the cake. Literally."
