Sad, sad Joshua Brown. Saddest Man in the Whole Damn Town

I like Josh Brown a lot. For those who don't know, Josh Brown is a Kicker for the Seattle Seahawks and is the latest Golden Toe winner. Anywho, I had been following his radio program ever since November when his teammates (one of them being Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck) joined him on KMPS and teased him mercilessly about his crush on Carrie Underwood. Although not a sportsfan by any stretch, I enjoy listening to Josh's show. He comes across as very charming, personable and has an great sense of humor.

Here is the VERY brief background on Cash Brownderwood (tm a good friend of mine, you know who you are). He met Carrie backstage at one of her concerts last Summer, along with Matt Hasselbeck acting as his "wingman". They got to talking and Josh promptly put his foot in his mouth by saying something to Carrie about "cattle being led to slaughter". Hello?! You don't say something like that to an animal lover and vegetarian. I give him a pass on that though, he might not have known yet.

So the CMA's roll around and Josh does something very sweet by sending Carrie flowers and a card wishing her luck. AWWWWWW! His fellow players later told the story on how on the eve on an important game, Josh seemed preoccupied. They asked him what was up and he said, "I hope Carrie wins tonight." HEE! All very, very cute and I was hooked on this saga. To relive the magic, here is the link to the audio. http://kmps.com/pages/217186.php The file is titled Josh Brown, Matt and Shaun.

So every Tuesday, I and some other fans would listen to his show and squee at every Carrie mention that happened. To Josh's credit, he never brought up Carrie but did answer candidly when asked by the DJ. From November through December, he indicated a couple times that they were communicating with each other by text. Since I like him a lot, I had my fingers crossed for him that they would date, at least for a little while.

Then Romowood happened. We all know what a huge frenzy that turned out to be, what with Carrie becoming the Yoko Ono of the Dallas Cowboys overnight. Even Josh was curious and asked her, "I just had to know." As we know, Romowood turned out to be a whole lot of hype and nothing.

Josh had said he and Carrie had plans to meet up at the Superbowl, but something went awry because the Tuesday after Josh said he only ran into Carrie at the airport when he was there himself dropping a friend off.

Now to the present day. Josh was on his usual Tuesday radio show and Carrie was naturally mentioned, now that she is a Grammy awardwinner and all. Did Josh watch his cruuuuuuush on the Grammy's? No, he was at a Merle Haggard concert instead. There must have been a reason....

It turns out there was. According to Josh, Matt Hasselbeck saw Carrie making out with Oliver at the Superbowl. Josh is now bitter, feels played, and that Carrie "sold him out" because they did have plans to meet and it never happened. Hmmm, her being there with another dude is a pretty big clue there.

Josh, I really like you and I say this with love in my heart - why the hell didn't you "make your move" sooner, like months ago? I know you had said you didn't want to seem like a stalker. True, women don't like stalkers but they hate indecisiveness. You waited and what happened? Oliver Trevena sacked up and asked her and guess what? He got the girl. I have nothing against Oli-T (other than calling himself that), but you seem like you could be the better man.

Good luck next time, Josh and I hope that come Valentines Day 2008 you will have the girl of your dreams.
