Video Evidence: Frankie Hejduk Found A Cure For That Whole “Sleep” Thing

October 23rd, 2008 | By: Brooks Peck | 4 Comments »


We already know that Frankie Hejduk can down a beer with the best of them, but what about his love for caffeinated beverages? In this video from USSoccer.com, we learn many things about the US MNT veteran, including his love of espresso. Like, he really loves it. Seriously. Dude is pretty hardcore addicted to it. Listen to his rationale for his highly detailed daily espresso drinking schedule and wonder how he makes it through the entire interview without mainlining that shit into his veins. Wow. I mean, it’s almost 3 a.m. as I write this and I’m all hopped up just listening to him talk about how much espresso he drinks (of course, watching the Phillies win game one of the World Series helped that, too).

Once you get past the espresso revelation, keep watching for:

-Frankie reminiscing about the good old days with the US MNT when Alexi Lalas got hit in the head with a battery in Costa Rica.

-Frankie talking about his love of Bob Marley’s music.

-Frankie sporting a head of thick, lustrous hair that any woman would be envious of (seriously, it’s what Pantene Pro-V commercials hope to achieve).

-Frankie getting his momentary espresso fix.

-Frankie getting up from his seat at Starbucks and the video ending right before he goes into caffeine induced convulsions that can only be controlled by snorting that sweet nectar while shotgunning a Red Bull at the same time.

-I’m not kidding, how can one man drink that much espresso and remain so calm? How is he not like Tweak from South Park, just babbling incoherently about underwear gnomes and consumed by a jittery paranoia? Fascinating.

Have you seen the man drink beer…clearly that’s how he strikes a balance.

I really enjoy espresso, ya know, like i’ll have one before breakfast, ya know, and then have a couple more after breakfast, ya know, and then, ya know, have a couple before lunch, ya know, and a couple after lunch, ya know. But the most important part to my espresso routine, ya know, is to save up my espresso love, ya know, before games start and just down like 12 shots, ya know, before the game starts. It’s really just a routine, ya know, that works for me.

As absolutely ridiculous as frankie is and the fact that he really doesn’t have the skill to play at this level anymore the last minute of the video when he gives mad props to US soccer is pretty cool. I honestly believe it’d be a little clip coaches could play in ODP camps to really put things into perspective and motivate kids to be the best they can.

This doesn’t shock me at all. Its exactly how I pictured Frankie.
The only way this could have been better: if they had done the interview with a fan on Frankie so his hair could have been flowing.

I’d rather see a clip of Marvell Wynne or Jonathan Spector who should really be our backup right backs. Frankie has been great for us, but really the players I mentioned above have surpassed him.
