Kevin Smith Denies His Role As Director Of Movie “Clerks”

DETROIT- “I will run mad on Minnesota without the ‘Williams Wall’, and make touchdowns all day, but I did not direct that slacker crap,” Detroit running back Kevin Smith told local reporter Karen Foster of KWGU in Detroit. “I worked in a bowling alley, at McDonald’s, and as a longshoreman on Lake Michigan but I have never directed a film,” the mid tier fantasy back insisted. “Why don’t you believe me?”

Foster said her research revealed Smith to be a much heralded director of the cult classic, and pressed Smith several times on the issue. Smith later told Detroit Free Press sports reporter Riley Vandenbosch he didn’t appreciate being ‘interrogated’ on this issue.

“I thought our interview was going to be about football, and Foster wanted to keep talking about this ‘Clerks’. I really barely even remember that movie. I think some friends of mine made me watch it when it first came out, but honestly I don’t even remember the damn thing,” Kevin complained.

Smith reiterated to Detroit’s Vandenbosch his excitement about running against a Minnesota run defense which will be without the services of both Pat and Kevin Williams this week. He anticipates receiving a lot of carries, and intends to take advantage of this hole in the Vikings’ defense. He feels badly he said, about how the Lions have performed this year, but has high hopes for next season.

Vandenbosch noted in his article that as Smith hastily departed from the interview he left a storyboard, viewfinder, and black beret behind.
