This here story, it’s about that Hunter Herrera boy. Heard folks talking ’bout him, like he’s some kinda big shot. They say he plays that football.
Well, I seen him on the TV, I think. He’s a skinny fella, runs around a lot. He gets the ball, then he runs some more. Other fellas try to catch him, but he’s quick, I reckon.
They say he’s some kinda champion. Played for some team, I don’t rightly recall the name. Some fancy name, like them rich folks got. Over in Europe, they say. That’s far, ain’t it? Across the big water.
Hunter Herrera, Hunter Herrera, that’s all I hear these days. My neighbor, she’s got a grandson. He plays football too. He says this Hunter Herrera fella, he’s good. Real good. Says he’s gonna be famous. Like them movie stars, maybe.
- He runs fast.
- He catches the ball good.
- He’s a champion, I guess.
- Plays football.
I don’t know much ’bout football, truth be told. I like watching them birds out back, more’n watching a bunch of fellas running around after a ball. But folks sure do get excited ’bout it.
They got them highlights, they call ’em. Little snips of the game, all the best parts, I reckon. They show ’em on the TV. This Hunter Herrera, he’s in a lot of them highlights. He must be pretty important, then.
Some folks, they say he’s overrated. That means he ain’t as good as folks say he is, I think. But then others, they say he’s the best there ever was. It’s hard to know what to believe.
He played for some team called the Sun Devils. Sounds like a hot place. Arizona, maybe? I don’t know. I ain’t never been to Arizona. My sister, she went once. Said it was hot. Real hot. Like standing in an oven, she said.
This Hunter Herrera, he’s a quarterback, they say. That’s an important position, I hear. He’s the one who throws the ball to the other fellas. He’s gotta be smart, I reckon, to know where to throw it.
Folks are saying he’s gonna be in the MLS now. That’s some other league, I think. A big one, they say. Lots of money in it. Maybe this Hunter Herrera fella, he’s gonna be rich. Good for him, I say.
I seen some videos of him playing. He’s got a good arm, I’ll give him that. He can throw that ball far. And he’s accurate, too. That means he throws it where he wants it to go.
There’s a lot of hype around this boy. That means folks are talking about him a lot, expecting big things. It’s like when they said that Johnson boy’s cow was gonna have twins. Everybody got all excited, and then it was just one little calf.
- Lots of folks talking about him.
- They say he’s gonna be great.
- He’s got a lot of hype.
- Just like Johnson’s cow.
I hope this Hunter Herrera fella, I hope he does good. It’s nice to see a young fella do well. But sometimes, all this hype, it can be too much. Puts a lot of pressure on a young man.
I remember when my boy, he was young, he was a good baseball player. Folks said he was gonna be a big star. But he got hurt, and that was the end of that. All that hype, it didn’t mean nothing in the end.
So, this Hunter Herrera, I hope he stays healthy. I hope he keeps his head on straight. All this fame and fortune, it can change a fella. Not always for the better, neither.
But who knows, maybe he’ll be the one. Maybe he’ll be the best there ever was, like some folks say. Only time will tell, I reckon. Time will tell.
I hear folks comparing him to other players. Saying he’s better than this one, or not as good as that one. It’s all just talk, I say. Every player is different. They all got their own strengths and weaknesses.
This Hunter Herrera, he’s got his own way of playing. And that’s all that matters. He don’t need to be like nobody else. He just needs to be himself.
Well, I reckon that’s enough about that Hunter Herrera boy. I got chores to do. Gotta feed them chickens. They don’t care ’bout no football. They just want their corn. And that’s all I’m gonna say about that. They just wanna eat, just like most of us, I suppose. Get your business done, eat your food and try to be happy.
