Do NFL or NHL players make for the better interview?

A local Pittsburgh sportscaster was asked recently who made for a better locker room interview, NFL football or NHL hockey players? Without hesitation, he stated that hockey players by far made for the more intelligent and interesting interviews. Having listened to many football players after the game giving their analysis with a hundred or so "you know" in the course of a five minute interview, I would tend to agree that hockey players in general conduct themselves in a more dignified manner than many NFL players. While players such as Peyton Manning are a credit to the game they play and always seem to conduct themselves with respect and dignity, many other NFL players bring the ghetto culture and lingo to the sport, and I usually find myself turning the game off as soon as it is finished.
