How was Ben's hair? Last I saw him he looked like a sheep dog.
I realize its a dumb question but I care da**it.

Ed Morgan's latest article has a section on Benny. His ankles are fine, his muscles are sore.
We realized he was going in at the half when the coaches quorum called him over, he started nodding his head, and then started to warm up in earnest. He may have burned up 30% of his energy sprinting across the field.

I think with Ben on the field, DC has the "Ben Hur" that Hudson was looking for.
Even in a short stint, he brought spirit to the rest of the team, even when he was tiring in the last half of his appearance.
Welcome Back Benny. We missed you.
Now score some damn goals!

Ed's interview makes it sound good. I do wonder if he will be out there on the turf tomorrow night.

Well this sounds like great news. Sore muscles shows a lack of match fitness which you would expect when a guy hasn't been on the field for a year and a half.
If the ankles aren't sore then it sounds like Benny may be back in business!
