We await the great moment that will rival the meeting of the East and West railroads in Utah in 1869.
When will Rajon Rondo meet Chad Ochocinco? Well, no sooner did we call for it than it happened!
Rondo went to Patriots camp today and met with Ocho.
Boston has not had such an anticipated moment since thunder met lightning at Concord and Lexington.
Ocho has his photo taken with everyone from Bill Clinton to Manny Ramirez.
How long will it be before he sidles up to Rondo?
With the addition of the vaunted 85 to the New England Patriots, the likewise vaunted No. 9 of the Boston Celtics may now encounter his soul mate. The disparate twosome is sort of like Ying and Yang among philosophers of sport.
Two more different athletes you could not find.
Yet, the two may have more in common than Cheech and Chong.
In the Grand Hotel of Boston sports, Boston’s Greta Garbo may not be alone, after all, in the media mad scene of devoted fans. Rondo seeks an orchestrated setting for a public appearance with all the care of Madonna looking for the right makeup cover up.
Chad Ochocinco makes public appearances like a mosquito at a horse corral. Don’t let that mosquito bite unless you like equine meat. He tweeted this week how he loves his fans, just don’t touch his a** (his word).
Faster than a speeding bullet, Rondo can twirl on a dime, while Chad Ochocinco may prefer to turn on a silver dollar.
We know for a fact that Rondo has tattooed his number on his back, writ big between his initials and his shoulder blades.
Whether Ochocinco has engraved 85 on anything less, this season will show.
We know that Rondo will don a beret and an ascot in the pursuit of the personality of a Beau Brummell, and we know that Ochocinco will slip into a gold-colored silk slipper faster than you can say Mr. Blackwell.
Rondo is an introvert, and Ocho is an extrovert, but both seem able to convert fans to their sides. Each has an active Twitter account, and they both take full advantage of any photo op.
Both tweet regularly about how much they love their fans. Rondo prefers to give fans a ride during a game of HORSE, and Ocho prefers a ride in his Prius.
What better photo op than to stand up to each other? Rondo has plenty of free time this fall to visit Gillette Stadium.
Who might broker a meeting between the two?
The one common thread between Rondo and Ocho is Wes Welker, with whom Rondo is well acquainted.
Will these two athletes hit it off, or will it be like an asteroid hitting Earth?
We wait for their inevitable meeting.
