Here you go brakos, that line has rimshot written all over it.

I didn't get to see the interview damn it. I guess I can get a replay on espn.com?? I hate Rome but boring interview of not I'd like to see it.

BTW, I can't keep it straight. Was Rome Beevis or Butthead back in the day? i know, i know

Deeds, not words.

I'm thinking AJ probably adheres to something along that line of thinking, just kind of the way he carries himself, or so it seems to me.

Agreed. Maybe throw Marvin Harrison in there as well.

Yeah. Marvin lets his gun do the talking for him.

I thought AJ did very well. It was nice to see some national coverage on our premier receiver. I know a lot of people don't like Rome because of his sarcastic nature, but he is consistent in telling it like it is. You may not like the way he presents it, but he is pretty straight foward.

Good Interview

thats actually what i like about him the most besides being good. his interviews are so interesting because he talks soooo slow and it's facinating to me. he's one of my favorites for sure.

**beerlover** · 09-02-2008

its all about entertainment, he prefers to do his talking on the field as opposed to his friend Chad Johnson, oops "Ocho Cinco" who spends more time working on his next celebration move. In that sense AJ is a fan just like any of us who look forward to the ESPN highlights to see what the top performers do both on & off the field

Rome is a solid interviewer, one of the best actually & really likes Mario Williams along with AJ seeing the Texans as an upcoming NFL power. personally I hope it starts this weekend

I don't necessarily find Andre dull just because he's quiet, and I don't get a lot of enjoyment of watching the usual Mr. Personality blowhard acting the fool while saying nothing.

All I know is I'd prefer a player like Andre as a member of my community more than many, many others we could all probably name.

* I know you all said basically the same thing after the parts I excerpted from your posts.

Thanks Showtime.
There were a couple of other interesting vids on that site too
- like "NFL X-factors: Houston Texans"
...no real news though; the 8-to-80 connection has to stay healthy and click like last year and Mario has to have another great year to save our secondary.

...we can always count on ESPN for in depth analysis.

We just went through 20 years of Biggio interviews, "one game at a time", "that's baseball" etc.

I'll take 12-15 years of monotone mumbling from AJ for a HOF career.

Yes, 2005. He hurt his knee and I believe he was out for half the season.
