[QUOTE="Machdup1, post: 15604278, member: 65746"] So you met a bridesmaid........... Just kidding, very cool. Good job on not being the annoying fan. My wife has the knack of talking to famous sports folks, because she treats them like normal people without any hero worship and because she knows more about sports than most of them. She has one friend (currently a linebacker with the Falcons) that she gets together with his mother to tell him when he is missing tackles. I remember one time I was having some some suits made and the wife was with me and there was guy there in a Virginia Tech Senior Bowl T-Shirt. She started talking to him and goes, "since you aren't small enough to be a corner back, that makes you Darrell Tapp. He said "yes, maam, I am" and without missing a beat she says "I hate your guts". He was clearly shocked. She then went on to explain that she is a Georgia Tech fan and he had sacked her quarterback five times in the most recent game. He gave her his Pro Rookie card and she told him that it would be on our refrigerator, but if that if he ever got in trouble, she would get his father (who worked at the store) and come and find him. Years later, my wife was attending a Redskins training camp and he picked her out of crowd and came over and talked to her and brought the other players over to sign autographs for my nephew.
