Vaseline Podcalzone has been captain of the Seattle Argonauts for way too long to count by this point. Thus, the idea of participating in press stuff on behalf of the Argos feels like an obligation that he knows is simply natural of him to fulfill. Indeed, even before he was captain, he understood how important it was for him to have a good public image not just for his personal brand, but to represent who the Seattle Argonauts are. Recall that the Argonauts were a fairly new team back then during Podz's early years in the league.
Thus, Podcalzone, upon hearing about this offer, immediately drops everything to go and participate. It sounds cliche, and it likely is, but when an opportunity arises to build some good publicity, that really does go a long way. Sure, by this point in his career, Podz has cemented quite a legacy in the sim league universe equivalent of Seattle, but a few more good boy points never hurt anyone.
