I just got back from camp, got to meet Joe, cpayne, Daseal and Smootsmack!

Very cool to finally put faces to names, had a good time, I'll post my pics as soon as I get back home to NY tomorrow. Got some good pics of Brunell, Gibbs, Ohalete and Hamdan as they came by for autographs.

Sorry you couldn't make it SBF, I was looking forward to meeting you! Another time.

Sorry I didn't get to hang out with you guys after practice-- got stuck in the press conferences. Got checked into my hotel room (free broadband internet kicks butt!) so I should have the first interview clips uploaded soon, before I head out for the next practice.

got out there at 7:40, settled in at the far 40 yard line, right against the mesh wall. I gave SBF a call and he couldn't make it, so no pork BBQ

... Unfortunately there were about a million people out there, so I had trouble finding anyone else...

either way, I saw bowen grab an int, and thrash get welcomed back... portis embarrassed the defense and 46 embarrassed himself. Simon got to the hole, and coles picked up everything in sight. Smoot had a good day, though he seems to catch balls away from his body, unlike the other WR/PR/KRs, which seemed odd. Gibbs came up to thanks the fans personally after first practice, and dan stayed in the background... I was hoping to see sean running around, but he was left standing on the sidelines.

overall it looked really good... I was planning to stay, but it was hot as hell and i couldn't find anyone (and i was wearing all black on a sunnny day... that's cause i'm smart...), so I left around 11... the parking lot/field was a traffic nightmare, but no worse than expected...

I DO think i saw joe crisp (were you wearing a shirt with dark blue and white stripes? if so you were standing in front of me the entire time), but he looked like he was working, so i didn't want to bother him

overall it was pretty good though... the guy next to me kept mistaking 46 for portis and that was a bit annoying

anyone else make it out?

joecrisp · 07-31-2004, 04:17 PM

No, that wasn't me, I was wearing my Warpath t-shirt with a Portis autograph on it. I spent most of my time lurking around the Post, Times and AP reporters trying to glean some info and pick up some pointers on how to do this reporting thing-- you can never stop learning, and these guys are some of the best to learn from.

I did get to meet Matt, smootsmack, daseal and cpayne5, and that was really cool. I was disappointed that SBF couldn't be there, I was really looking forward to seeing the fireworks of a heated political debate between SBF and Daseal! Brud called me before I headed out of the media room for practice, but I didn't get to meet him. There were a ton of people there-- estimated at 5,000-- so I was glad that I was at least able to meet a few of you guys amidst the throng of Redskins fans.

It was great to meet everyone! Some Guy, I think you might have actually parked next to Cpayne and me. He was driving a black honda.

That Guy · 07-31-2004, 09:31 PM

heh, i was in a light blue station wagon (mecury sable, same thing as a ford taurus).
Sorry i missed you all, it was still fun though

(now if only it wasn't so hot)

You were parked directly to the right of us.

It was great to meet Crisp, Matty, Cpayne and Daseal. Only 500 or so more of you left to meet!!

And while I didn't get a chance to meet him, it was good to talk to Brud over the phone
