McClain, and Crawford both practiced today. Josh Brent has been making "great strides" and will be in rotation this Sunday. Interested in seeing how he performs.
Bye week was one of the best in recent memory. It was capped off with me meeting Dez Bryant at the 40/40 club. Almost creamed my pants
He didn't have many people with him but Dez was definitely down to earth. I wonder if he'll remain that way after he gets paid. When I met Shaq in Miami, he seemed annoyed by the attention and dudes asking him for a picture that by the time I had got to him a little later he was like "Nah no more man..."
How did you approach him?
How did you go about getting a picture with him?
Did the illuminati baptize him?....
There's a former Cowboy that I see on a monthly basis and we chop it up for a few minutes about the past few games every time I see him. I wish I could tell y'all his name but due to health privacy regulations, I can't. He's in the HoF though. Anyways, he is easy to talk to. I think it's partly because he is an older guy and been out of the spotlight for a while.
The only celebrity I've met in public was Vinny Paul at a Spencer's .
I had no idea how to approach him but nonetheless, I did . He was really cool but the social awkwardness I had back then took over and I ended the convo abruptly
He was relatively easy to approach. I was actually there because it was my friend's birthday and he and a couple of us decided to go to the 40/40 and when we found out Dez was there, we were DEFINITELY going.
The first time I tried to actually get into his private section but the bouncer wouldn't let me. I told him I was willing to pay him cash to let my party with Dez and his boys but he wasn't having it
After the photo was when I asked him about beasting on the Giants like he did in the first matchup.
What really made the night was apparently these four females and their male friend thought I was Dez Bryant
I think earlier in the night Dez was in a private section but then he came to the main part of the club and was in the VIP for a good 2 hours. It was cool that he walked around a bit too. I must admit though, the females they he had in there with him were subpar.
You're right about the 'being out of the spotlight' comment and being more approachable. I'm really curious as to how Dez will act once he gets his big contract and his brand grows more. Money/fame change people and sometimes it's required because there's too many people on your jock and you can't appease everyone. I remember reading reports about how TDubz (Terrence Williams) was the only approachable player after training camp practices in Oxnard, and Romo and Dez in particular would jet off ignoring the fans that wanted to take photos and get autographs with them.
That was a cool story bro, seriously
I hope to come across an opportunity like this someday.
T.Will is mad cool. I remember after the 9ers game me and my bro thought it would be cool to check out the exit that players come out of. When T.Will came out he signed EVERYBODY who HAD A SHARPIE's autograph. He was in about 10 selfies too
My brother was mad salty because he didn't sign his snapback
I was like "dude we weren't even expecting to see him, besides you don't even have a sharpie"
