NFL Meet & Greet

[DCFan17]

I'm new round here, and not sure where this should go (since theres not a regular NON-fantasy football board), so here goes!

 

 

Back in June I got the opportunity to go to a Celebrity Basketball game hosted by the Cornerback Connection... If you don't know what that is, shame on you! (Just kidding, but really)

 

It's a group formed by Mike Jenkins (Mike Jenkins Foundation), Dominque Rodgers Cromartie (DRC Foundation) and Fabian Washington (Franchise Kids). These three guys went to school together and played on the same little league football team... How cool is it that ALL THREE of them went to the NFL and ALL THREE of them are CBs?

 

Anyway... Here are some pix from the event, along with a very special moment I had with Mike Jenkins.

10) My little brothers, myself and Dexter Jackson (Former SB MVP.. and the only big headed unpleasant person we met at the entire event).

 

11) Myself wearing Rod Harpers Superbowl Ring. Yes. He let me wear it. No I didn't try to run. Why? He's a wide receiver.

 

12) Myself and Ace Hood, who performed at the even, "All I Do Is Win."

 

 

 

 

Now... on to the good stuff. The stuff I know you wanted to hear. What do you talk about with Mike Jenkins? Well, football, of course.

 

----------------------------------

 

Mike Jenkins is very quiet. Nice guy.

 

I showed him this, that I had printed out, and asked him if he had ever read it....

 

I pulled out the paper and he says "THATS AN ESSAY!" - laughing.

I was like "I just wanted to see if you had read this."

 

"Twas the games before Christmas and all through the land, the Saints and the Cowboys game was at hand. The Cowboys were desperate, needing a win, and the Saints just kept winning by the hair of their chins. It was Romo getting going at the start of their game, looking to quell Dallas' December shame. At the half it was Dallas up 17 to 3, and looking to wrap up a nice victory. The Saints started slow at the start of the 3rd, but quickly scored twice, and the crowd could be heard. Not a fan wasn't stirring, they were rooting for Brees, and a last second comeback nestled under the tree. But alas Mr Ware showed the saints to be humble, with a sacking of Brees and a last second fumble. So that is the story of the saints loss this night, Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"

 

Quiet Mr. Jenkins yells "I LIKE THAT!"

I laughed and said "You can have it... but please give me a Thanksgiving story to go with it."

Mike laughs and says, "I'll do my best."

 

Thanks Mike
