Well it's finally Super Bowl Sunday which means we no longer have to watch interview after interview with Tom Brady and read multiple profile pieces on Randy Moss, Bill Belichick, Eli Manning and Tom Brady's boot.
But during this crazy week leading up to the game, after passing on one-on-one sitdowns with chumps like Brady and Michael Strahan, we had an interesting chat with former hyped-but-later-failed-in-an-awful-way quarterback and pretend baseball player Drew Henson.
As most sports fans know, Henson played behind Brady at Michigan for two years, but while Brady quietly went about his business and performed admirably enough to get drafted 199th by the Patriots, Henson was the greatly hyped golden boy, supposedly destined for greatness. In short, it didn't exactly pan out that way and since Henson had no other media requests, we caught up with him earlier this week to get his thoughts on his former teammate as well as the big game.
"I gotta tell ya, all this Tom Brady stuff kinda sucks," said Henson, shrugging his shoulders and looking off into the distance. "This guy already has three rings, he's shtuping every gorgeous supermodel that walks this unfair earth, he has that cool dimple chin and he keeps upping the ante each week with his striking outfits. Watching this from my couch while basically not playing anything kinda blows, it really does."
When an attempt was made to pry a game prediction out of Henson, he interrupted and continued on Brady.
"Look at it this way, if he takes a shit it's news. He leaves his apartment it's news. It's even news when he goes 'ahhhh' after taking a satisfying, refreshing sip. Look at me, if I go out and rob a bank, I make the news but it's still not even in the sports section. It's like that guy who played Calogero in A Bronx Tale, I didn't know what the hell happened to his career until he participated in a Bronx shootout. It just sucks."
Henson never offered up a prediction but did mention that he plans to watch the Super Bowl blindfolded.
