Respect #85

(Note: A.F.O.M.G. will be in with a post this afternoon so keep checking in for that.)

Not sure I know a baseball player who ever wore the # 85. That doesn't mean much to me. But I can comfortably say this.

As much as I hate Wilmer Valderrama, especially the show "Yo Momma," and as much as I plan on becoming famous just to start a celebrity beef with him just so I can get to the point where in front of millions of people I can announce that he became famous by being the most suitable latin herb, I feel like now is a time to sing a higher praise.

Now's the time to give a shout to the man who may be the most colorful man since Rickey announced that it was Rickey Time.

More colorful than the Rickey Henderson who stood in front of a mirror, swinging a bat over his head, while ass naked, shouting to the mirror: "Rickey's the best!"

Today, a quick tribute to # 85.

Chad Johnson, the star WR for Y2K Super bowl pick the Cincinatti Bengals, came out with about the best press conference I have heard in sometime.

While we here at Y2K like to focus on the Mets or hating the Yankees, or, failing those, New York or even the deli on my block, I felt like Chad deserved a serious shoutout.

Seriously, who is going to stop #85?

Leading up to this week's game against the Atlanta Falcons, and of much greater significance, his one-on-one matchup with pro bowl CB DeAngelo Hall, the Chad felt like it was his time to step up.

He referred to Deangelo Hall as Deangelo Fall.

He guaranteed not one but two touchdowns.

He guaranteed not deuce but dos td's for #85.

This is #85. Maybe the most marketable player since #4 for the '99 Mets, my hero and favorite player, Rockin' Robin Ventura.

There is nothing better in sports than good television. Yankee fans haven't seen that in years because their players are not allowed.

We as Mets fans haven't seen a good soundbite in sometime.

But Chad, or the Chad as he so neccesarily deserves, is the 2nd resaon why we watch sports.

After love for the game or a certain team, we watch sports to be entertained.

Chad, well, he entertains.

An early VCD,

Sip
