    Default Homer McFanboy: to name a predator



    (photo by Brian Murphy)

    With the way things have gone here at Homer McFanboy over the last couple weeks I was worried we were heading into high school gossip territory. Even though we weren’t saying anything negative, we’ve been sitting here talking about a certain player behind his back lately, and we just didn’t feel comfortable about it. So today, we confronted the situation and pulled rookie safety Chris Horton aside.

    We’ve got to bring something to your attention. It seems the fans have given you a nickname …

    “I think I already know it,” Horton said. “The Predator?”

    This really was becoming high school, with Horton surprising me by already having the nickname get back to him. Rattled, I tried to press forward.

    As a safety who seems to have a knack for being around the football that’s a compliment, right?

    “Yeah, it’s a funny name, but when I think about how that guy looks I don’t know if that’s so much of a compliment,” he said with a laugh.

    My guess is, unlike in basketball or other sports, the fans can’t really see your face. They just see the helmet and the hair as you swoop in and make another play.

    I am kinda hoping we could start a new cheer at games when Horton makes a big play...

    Whoooooooooooooooooooo !!!

    Then Horton could put his hand to his ear as if to say "what is that I hear?"

    I think you missed Pez's point.

    But, yeah, Predator is probably a little more intimidating.

    I'm just going to come out and say it:

    As much as I love Chris Horton; how he plays on the field and how humble he is off it... I can't help but think Kareem Moore is going to be the better player. There is just something about that guy.

    I could be completely wrong, and if I am I'd still be glad. I think we've got a gem in Horton.
