My pick will have to be Matt Leinart from USC…
I love how he throws the ball and his drop back abilities
Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s the number 1 pick in the 2005 NFL Draft next April
However… A good dark horse candidate you should keep your eye on is the True Freshman running back from Oklahoma Adrian Peterson who you know a lot about if you are always on Rivals.com
I know he hasn’t played a collegiate snap but he was the number 1 recruit in the country for a reason and he is gonna be in the backfield for a Sooners that should be early favorites to win the National Championship in 2004
Also helps that his quarterback is the reigning Heisman Trophy winner Jason White (And I don’t think he repeats as the Heisman)
I'm talking to you about the only person in this world that you control and that's you.
Interesting to hear “Candy Girl” and “New Edition” be mentioned in this interview
Receive a signed card back from one of the last living from one of the last living players from the period in time the Cincinnati Reds were the Cincinnati Redlegs Jay Hook
Received a letter with my questions answered with the help of his granddaughter telling me that when he was part of the New York Mets expansion draft in 1960 that “It was a new experience. Interesting to be in New York, I found out I was drafted while driving home with my wife!
He also told me that Craig Anderson was his favorite teammate and that Hank Aaron was his favorite player he pitched too
Also that his favorite moment in his career was pitching the first win in New York Mets franchise history
Also received photos and cards signed back from Cubs and MLB The Show play by play announcer Boog Sciambi
Jay Hook took 3 weeks to get back
Boog Sciambi took 1 month to get back
Joe Buck-2 weeks
Adam Zucker-4 to 5 months
Zucker also wrote back to my letter answering my questions
He told me that working at CBS Sports is like family to him and that Greg Gumbel was a great mentor and friend to him and that he misses him everyday
Also that his favorite event to do is mostly the Army-Navy game and that his favorite moment of his career is always the next one
Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants is underrated
Or am I just that gullible? Lol
One of the last living Cincinnati Redlegs Players Orlando Pena-3 to 4 weeks
NFL on ESPN analyst Mike Greenberg-3 weeks
Andrew Calaton-1 week
Jackie Brandt-2 to 3 weeks
Charley Rae-2 to 3 weeks
Charley Rae also responded to my letter but unfortunately it was ripped
He told me that his favorite teammate was Frank Robinson also that his favorite player to pitch to was “All of them” and that his favorite moment of his career was throwing 2 straight no hitters (I guess that was in the minors
