Never heard of him. That's not exactly true. We were like brothers.

From espn.com 3-30-05 regarding several active and former Carolina Panthers players obtaining steroid prescriptions days after Super Bowl 38:

CBS said Mitchell and Steussie did not respond to repeated calls and letters seeking comment. The network said that when it contacted Sauerbrun by phone, and asked him about Shortt, the punter said, "I like the guy very much."

Ten minutes later, CBS said, Sauerbrun called back to say he had been confused and that he did not know Shortt.
---------------------------------------------------
You wonder what phone conversation took place in the interim - a call to an agent perhaps? Or a PR guy? "Yeah, what's up with this Shortt guy everyone's calling me about? Under investigation by the DEA? Really? Oh. Have to call CBS back, gotta go."

Somewhere, a Gramatica brother is laughing.
