Dustin Keller doesn't like pit bulls as much as he used to

New York Jets tight end Dustin Keller(notes) first relayed the story about being attacked by a pit bull on Twitter (Keller's Twitter page is here, scroll down a bit to get to the pit bull updates). Lisa Zimmerman of Sirius NFL Radio, though, caught up with him for a more entertaining retelling of the story.

"I had just had brunch with a friend when it happened. My first reaction when I saw the dog chasing me was to outrun it, which isn't normally likely for someone, but my adrenaline was pumping at such a high level that I believe I would have left that monster in the dust.

" I saw that I was right by that 12-foot fence and when I jumped on and was hanging on for what seemed like my life I couldn't believe how high I was. I just held on for a little and while that was very scary, the height was almost more shocking than the fact I was attacked by a crazy pit bull!"

Well, that's one way to keep in offseason shape. I don't know how he did it, but getting to a height where a pit bull couldn't reach him is every bit the accomplishment of outrunning the thing. I've seen some pit bulls with some insane head-bouncing-off-the-ceiling verticals.

No one was hurt, fortunately. In fact, Keller was in good enough spirits to end his Tweeting on the subject with an "LOL." It always makes me feel good inside to see 6-foot-2, 250-pound NFL tight ends using the "LOL."
