Chris Richardson, a former Christopher Newport football player, is one of the final 20 contestants on “American Idol.” The popular Fox network show is in its sixth season.
The 22-year old from Chesapeake, Va., auditioned in New York City.
Richardson, who played his freshman year, was listed as a 6-foot-2, 210-pound running back on their 2002 roster. He played in eight games, carrying the ball four times for five yards. Richardson also had one catch for two yards.
“American Idol” resumes tonight, Wednesday and Thursday, at 8:00 p.m. ET on Fox.
I’d pay $10 for some dude from Averett or Ferrum to come flying out and pankcake this dude right in the middle of his set for Burt Bacharach night.
“What the world needs now–
Is love, sweet luh-CRUNCH!
Gordon,
You ain’t right. 🙂
I’d chip in 10 bucks for that…. we could start a pool. 🙂
Seriously though, a DIII guy from my home state? I guess that’s cause for a wooo! 🙂
TERRY TATE!!
Office LB!
I always kinda pictured Keith McMillan as our office’s linebacker. I mean, he played safety in college and he doesn’t put up with much nonsense. 🙂
But now we’re not in the same office anymore. My new office doesn’t have a linebacker, just a bunch of scatbacks and possession receivers.
So the guy barely even played and only for a year. I herd him say on the show ” alot of people dont know this but i played college football “… Is that supposed to make us vote for him cause hes a 10 th string running back for a non scholarship team and couldnt cut it…I dont know what Im trying to say, just trying to keep busy till kickoff in sept…Go Mount…
I’d have to agree with purlpephyco.. 4 carries.. 5 yards, not the best yards per carry, and I would also love to see him get pankcaked on stage!! That would make me watch American Idol…
Saturday its on!
