Public Service Announcement:
Ok, here we go! Rookie, rookie, who gets the cookie? Diet Pepsi Rookie of the Year. Who’s it gonna be? Who’s gonna be the next Chuck Foreman. The next Anthony “A-Train” Thomas. The next Randy “Moonshine” Moss. The next Curtis Martin. The next Eric Dickerson. The next Louis Lipps. You too cute to play defense. The next Mean Joe Greene. The next Wally “the Cleaver” Chambers. The next Dana Stubblefield. The next Brian “the Deek” Urlacher. The next Mike Haynes. Side note on Mike Haynes. If he stayed on the Pats, he would have been my favorite football player of all time. I remember my brother would take me down to Bryant College to watch the Patriots preseason workouts. Rookie Mike Haynes talked to me for like 1/2 hour. I was hooked. Signed everything I owned. Signed it with the number 40. Then he went out and got himself 8 picks and 2 punt returns for TDs. Yowza! I watched all of it. Mr Excitement.
Ok, sorry, I digress. Diet Pepsi Rookie of the Year. For the offense: St Reggie? I love this cat, but no. If he goes nuts in the next few games, maybe. But right now? No. Marques Colston? The best rookie on a team with St. Reggie. Close. No. Nick Mangold? C’mon, he plays the line. And he plays for the J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets. Absolutely not. Marcus McNeil? What did I just say? No linemen. Laurence Maroney? I wish I could say yes just cause, but I can’t. I do love the way he runs. I’m a big fan of the stiff arm, but unfortunately, no. Joseph Addai? Edge who? No. D’Brickashaw Ferguson? Great name. But, are you listening? No Jets. No linemen. Paris Hilton’s baby daddy boyfriend? Warmer. My pick for the Diet Pepsi Offensive Rookie of the Year goes to Mighty Vince Young. Mr. Electricity. You knew it was coming. The new Comeback Kid. The quarterback Michael Vick aspires to be. I have seen the future of NFL football, and his name is Vince Young. He is 5-2 in his last 7 games. Willing his team to victory against the New York football Giants. Willing his team to victory against Archie’s boy’s Indianapolis Colts. Mighty Vince Young became the first rookie starting quarterback in history to rally his team to wins in consecutive games after trailing by at least 14 points. Mighty Vince Young passed Hall of Fame QB John Elway for the biggest comeback by a rookie quarterback in NFL history. Mighty Vince Young, your Diet Pepsi Rookie of the Year.
For the defense. DeMeco Raynes? Another great name. Leads all rookies in tackles. No. Kamerion Wimbley? Leads all rookies in sacks. No. Mario Williams? May prove to be worthy of that number one pick yet. No. Mark Anderson? Unheralded DE for the Bears? No. My pick goes to the new Mr. Excitement. Devin Hestor. I know, I know, he’s a return guy. This cat is explosive. This cat is quick. This cat is elusive. Most of all, this cat reminds me of another cat. Mike Haynes. Mr. Excitement himself. There you have it everybody. My picks for the Diet Pepsi NFL Rookies of the Year.
Peace out homies. Six Two and Even! josh q. public
