NFL USO Tour

A bunch of football players came out to see us. It was really cool. Jared Allen, Larry Fitzgerald, Will Witherspoon, and Danny Clark. They thanked us for our service and fielded some questions. Jared Aleen was asked which quarterback he liked hitting the most and he said "Peyton Manning....right in the back of his head!" I got a kick out of that. I waited for about an hour and a half to get this picture with them. I told them I wanted the 4th and one face. I guess Fitzgerald gets goofy on 4th and one because he knows they are going to run the ball. I asked Allen if EJ was going to be OK this year...he said he will be "balling out" this year. I think that means he will be ok. Allen is a really funny guy. A Marine asked who the players thought was going to be the best rookie coming out of the draft and Allen said "fuck rookies...they are trying to take our jobs" It was a lot of fun.

  2. You look sort of petite compared to Jared. Saw him at the State Fair last year. He had a straw hat and overalls that were a few sizes too small. What a goofball.

  3. I was thinking the same, did ya smack him in the back of the head or try to provoke him into any Muay Thai? You didn't? Oh sure...you can be all tough with your big brothers but not to a goofball punk like Allen!

    OK...Yeah...I'm jealous...(Would love to meet Allen and Fitz)
