Gerald Sensabaugh is my homeboy

Gerald Sensabaugh (I hate this term) tweeted that he was going to have a live chat on his website until 7:15 CDT. "Cool," I though. Maybe I'll pop in for that and see what's the happy haps. I got in there at 5:12 PDT (7:12 CDT), and apparently it was just #43 and me. Awesome on the one hand, really weird on the other.

I basically interviewed a player whose career I hadn't followed before March, and who I haven't actually seen play with his new teammates. Awkward! And while I do enjoy the football, I'm not nearly the expert that my brother is. But I couldn't just leave the chat, so here is what happened:

GS: Hey welcome to live chat
MT: Thanks. What's good?
GS: I only have a short time due to meetings
MT: No worries.
MT: How's training camp so far?
GS: its going awesome i love the fans and we're looking pretty good
MT: Excellent
MT: I'm following some of the twitters of the guys at DC.com
MT: They're giving the secondary high praise.
GS: that's good we are playing some good football the defense is looking good
GS: the offense looks good also its some great competition out there
MT: That's great.
MT: Any inside scoop on who might start at RCB?
GS: i have no clue we have to good young corners battling it out. It will be interesting. Both will play large roles on defense no matter who starts.
MT: Yeah.. it sounds like a stiff competition.
MT: But that's a great problem to have.
GS: yeah well thats my time i have to go to meetings i will chat a little later look for my tweet to let you know the tim
MT: Absolutely
MT: Good chatting

Gerald Sensabaugh left the chat.

So there it is. Seems like a nice enough guy, and I hope the coaches are right in that he can cover and hit.
