Anthony barr was messaging me on Snapchat like 5 years ago. That totally blew me away haha

Yeah, I’ve played flag football with Marcus Sherels.

We went to the last time we beat the lions outside at TCF, Antoine Exum gave his gloves to my daughter!

Met CJ Ham and Ed Ingram on back to back weekends about a month back, hadn’t met a Vikes player in my entire life up until that point. CJ is the nicest guy ever.

Justice Allen Page is very involved in Minneapolis Public Schools. We see him all the time.

Met Bob Lurtsema at a scouts event in the 80s - he gave me a dollar.

Met Fran Tarkenton as well, he just briefly acknowledged me and went back to staring at my mom’s boobs.

I haven’t myself, but my mom works at Notre dame and saw Harrison smith at a tailgate there the year after Vikings got him

Ran into Rich Gannon at the tour of Paisley Park.

Rich Gannon went to my church. I was too young to give a shit though.

I’ve been a victim of meeting the all holy and pure one, CC… but I also met Loadholt at a bubba shrimp at MOA I don’t remember what was said just wondering how that man fit in a house when he walked away I thought his back was the European plateau the man was massive especially to a 7th grader

I was lucky enough to sit behind the visitor bench at a Wolves game in 92 or 94. Halfway thru the 1st quarter, Chris Doleman, Darren Nelson and one other I forget, sat right next to us. Funny part, it was a Sunday and they just got done playing so it was a never ending stream of food coming their way. Cool dudes

I worked at Perkins off 394 and Louisiana in Golden Valley in high school. Carl Eller came in atleast once a month.

And currently I am a mechanic for Jeep and have worked on Stefon Diggs Jeep and the guy I work next to just worked on Bynums 392 wrangler

John Randle at the MSP airport in 2019 after the Falcons opener……me and my wife were waiting around and I was wearing a Randle jersey. He gave me a fist bump. I was geeked for the entire plane ride home

Pro bowl meet n greet in Hawaii on wheeler army/ Air Force base. Harrison smith was the fkn best. Talked to him for a while. Barr was a fkn dick
