Distant & Happy
I do have a message for Drew Brees ... wear your dark pants.
Today, most consider Patrick Willis to be the best overall linebacker in the
league. There are probably many others in that debate. For all
Patrick's skills, etc., my money day in and day out is on EJ. By the way,
Mr. Brees, EJ wasn't in New Orleans last January but I think he is quite eager
... "to meet your introduction." {Forrest
Gump}.
On Thursday, September 9th, 2010, I'll be exactly One Thousand, One hundred
& Forty Three Miles away from New Orleans which is just about the right
distance. Why? Because EJ Henderson scares me to death. If
given the opportunity I'd interview both Chad Greenway and Ben Leber together on
tape for the purpose of asking them just one question ... "Does EJ scare
you?" My dream is to sit side by side with EJ to watch his reaction
to Chad's & Ben's response. Keep in mind that Ben & Chad are on
the same side ... making that response doubly intriguing.
On the one hand, it could break EJ up ... on the other hand ... well let's just
call what I expect is a throated, "measured response" ... based in
respect. Ben & Chad are awesome ... EJ, on the other hand ... is like
trying to contain fire ... about a micro-inch from its Flash-Point. I
wonder if big Pat & Kevin can keep these guys free ... like they're
planning?
I've been hundreds of miles away watching EJ on all sorts of tape and my skin
begins to crawl. He's just giving a soft spoken interview but clearly the
cauldron boils deeply within this one. He refuses to allow you to stare
into his eyes ... he averts the engagement knowing that his X-ray-like stare
could reduce you to ash. Call it a contained pulverization.
As much as I've enjoyed watching the elite linebackers in this league over the
years, with EJ, there is no comparison. I've seen Butkis on tape ... he
had it. Watching EJ, on the other hand, is like a very hot and bothered
... perturbed Butkis on steroid's. Tweaked!
In 2008 and 2009 EJ was clearly posting not just Pro-Bowl numbers but
"All-Pro" numbers. He never got the opportunity to finish.
My hope is that he finally gets to finish this season ... on his own
terms.
Just far enough ... I'm good! Dude! Where dark pants!~
