Alright, listen up, y’all. We gotta figure out this football stuff, this… whatchamacallit… “jerome ford or brian robinson” thing. My grandson, he’s always yellin’ ’bout these fellas, so I gotta get it straight.
First off, this Jerome Ford fella. Sounds like a hard workin’ boy, you know? They say he’s carryin’ the ball, what, ten times? But only got, like, 28 yards. That ain’t much, is it? Like carryin’ a whole bucket of water and only gettin’ a cupful to the chickens. He did catch the ball a few times, though. Three times, they say, and got a little more yardage. Maybe he’s better at catchin’ than runnin’? I dunno, sounds kinda like my old mule, Bessie. Strong as an ox, but slow as molasses.
Now, they talk about this Brian Robinson fella too. They’re always arguin’ over who to pick. It’s like pickin’ between two tomatoes at the market, one’s a little bigger but the other one looks riper. I ain’t sure what this “ADP” thing is they keep jabberin’ about. Sounds fancy, like somethin’ them city folk use to confuse us country bumpkins. But they say it helps you pick who to put on your… “fantasy football” team. Fantasy? Like them fairy tales my granddaughter reads? Lord have mercy, these young folks and their games.
- Jerome Ford, they say, is a “sleeper.” Sleepin’? Shouldn’t he be runnin’ with the ball instead of sleepin’? Maybe he’s one of them late bloomers, like that corn we planted last year. Took forever to grow, but then, bam! Big ol’ ears, sweeter than honey.
- And this Brian Robinson, he’s always mixed up with this other dude Ford. People keep askin’ “Should I use this guy, or should I use that guy?”. I say, use whoever runs faster and don’t get tackled so much! Seems simple to me.
They keep sayin’ Ford is a good pick for your team. Said he won’t hurt you much, whatever that means. Maybe he’s like that old rocking chair on the porch. Not the fanciest thing, but it gets the job done, right? Keeps you from fallin’ on your behind. That’s gotta be worth somethin’, I guess.
They also got these “experts”, bless their hearts. They look at all the numbers and such. Numbers, numbers, always with the numbers. Reminds me of the tax man comin’ ‘round. But I guess it helps them figure out who’s gonna be good. Like lookin’ at a cow’s teeth to see how old she is. You gotta know these things, I suppose.
So, Jerome Ford or Brian Robinson? Sounds like Ford might be the sneaky one, the one you don’t expect much from but he might surprise ya. Like that time I found a twenty dollar bill in my old coat pocket. Wasn’t expectin’ that, I tell ya! And as for Brian Robinson, well, they don’t tell me as much about him. Guess he’s just… there. Maybe a bit more steady, but not too flashy. Kinda like my old tractor. It ain’t gonna win any races, but it’ll plow the field, sure enough.
In the end, it’s all just a game, ain’t it? Like chasin’ chickens around the yard. Sometimes you catch ’em, sometimes you don’t. But as long as you’re havin’ fun, I guess that’s all that matters. My grandson, he gets all worked up over it. Screamin’ at the TV, jumpin’ up and down. I tell him, “Boy, it ain’t the end of the world if your fella don’t catch the ball.” He just rolls his eyes at me. Kids these days.
Anyways, that’s my two cents on this whole Jerome Ford and Brian Robinson business. Take it or leave it. I gotta go feed them chickens now. They’re probably wonderin’ where their supper is.
