A Look at the best Georgia football players…….to interview

I listen to the players talk with great interest. I’m curious to know who’s got a future in broadcasting after their NFL playing days are over. Or who’s going to be a White House press secretary and offer up the kind of fluff that we expect. Today we look at just a few. We’ll check them out as the season wears on.

Sean Bailey – should be the team spokesman. Not only does he avoid the maddening “you know” and “uh”, he genuinely has something to say. I could listen to him all day long.

Matthew Stafford – I know that he’s the new sheriff in town, but he sounds like Butthead in interviews. Somebody taught him the usual lines; “we just gotta execute and play as a team”, “we faced a lot of adversity” and “blah blah blah, learning curve blah blah blah”. Of course, he’s been very guarded since his keg tossing days.

Fernando Velasco – He’s trying WAY too hard. I know he’s the senior leader, but he’s working too hard to spit it out. Slow down Fernando, we’ll wait.

Thomas Brown – he’s very good, actually. Here lately, he’s been answering a lot of questions about whether or not he would take a medical redshirt in 2007 and he’s handled them sincerely. No canned answers, he just wants you to understand that he’s getting back out there and his knee is fine. I get why Coach Richt adores him.

Asher Allen – See Fernando Velasco.

Mikey Henderson – Mikey is just EXCITED about the receiving corp. He seems like the type of guy who has a lot to say and he’s glad you asked. Something new in each sentence.

Kris Durham – Has apparently been to the “How to talk humble” classes that Georgia offers. But hey, he’s young.

Kelin Johnson – He may not have a lot to say to fans or a press corps, but I bet he can fire up the defense. And in the end, do we really care what they say to us as long as they get it done on the field?
