Saturday night was a success. Met up with Dan at his place, went to one of
his buddy’s apartment downtown where we met up with the rest of his friends. Met a
wide variety of people there and overall had a great time hanging out with
them. Went out to nice restaurant called Z-tejas and
got some good food and a couple drinks. Sat next to a guy
that was with us that looked a little older than the rest of us so I sparked up
conversation and tried to figure out where he fit in. Interestingly enough he
turned out to be friends with one of the guys with us and also our bodyguard
for the night. And when I say “our” bodyguard,
I really mean to say Brock's bodyguard.
His name was JD and he’s a private body guard full time for guys like
Larry Fitzgerald, Tim Hightower, and other miscellaneous clients but it was
cool to talk to him and hear a few stories.
It sounds funny having a body guard when you’re hanging out with guys
who are 6’5” 300lbs but when you break it down; when or if something happens they
can’t be getting into bar fights and end up being that guy in the newspaper the
next morning. For example, it would jeopardize
Brock's draft status or any of the guys status if they were to get in fuss at
the bar so that’s what JD is for. After
dinner we walked right across the street to a place called Robby Fox’s. They had an outside section of the bar gated
off for us behind the DJ booth. I was surprised
at how welcoming and friendly they were, really made me feel comfortable. All in all they were great people and I would
go out with them again.
On a side note- Chatted with Brock (QB) a little bit about
football and told him about my situation.
To my surprise he didn’t hesitate to tell me that I was welcomed to
throw with him as soon as I was healthy.
So naturally I was pretty happy about it, thanked him, and carried on
chatting about other stuff. That was pretty
much the only football talk we had all night. Being a football player myself I know it can
get redundant when people only know you for football and you end up having the
same football conversations several times a night.
