Standing in baggage claim here at work and lo and behold coming right at me is Darnell Dockett. Of course I stop him and say hello. Shake his hand and show him this hooked to my lapel on my work shirt http://cgi.ebay.com/Arizona-Cardina...ryZ88433QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Its just the circular part with the retractable holder on the end that holds my airport ID badge.
He gets a huge smile on his face and says that its great to meet fans and that he is Vegas all the time. He asks me the best way to get to a limo to avoid the crowds I point him the way, but he asks if I can show him. I walk him to the limo making small talk along the way. He tells me that he is ecstatic with the hiring of Whisenhunt and that he is just what the doctor ordered. Stated exactly "He is just what we needed! We need some discipline and a kick in the butt" He then looked at me with the most serious face you could imagine and told me "we are going to win this year no doubt!"
I finish walking him to the limo where he meets with some other NFL player(Im pretty certain) built much like Dockett who already has the limo waiting. He turns to me and shakes my hand and actually gives me one of those your my bro half arm manhugs and says be safe. He was genuinely talkative and completely polite. Anyway just thought I would share! Kudos to Darnell. Now Im all pumped to send in my renewal cash again!
FYI: have seen a ton of sports stars the last two days. This airport is an absolute zoo with the NBA allstar weekend up here in Vegas this year! But the only one I cared to chat with was Darnell!
