I met Patrick Ramsey
Last Wednesday I went to Dulles International Airport in Northern Virginia and I was waiting in line to buy a cup of coffee when I saw an amazing sight. Walking towards me was Patrick Ramsey and his wife Virginia. I couldn’t believe it, I thought I was in a dream and the only words I was able to muster were, “You can’t leave D.C.”
Ramsey looked at me, chuckled a bit, gave me a nod, and continued walking towards his gate. Ginny, Ramsey’s wife, looked at me, laughed, and kept walking next to her husband. After the brief encounter I thought to myself, Jesus that’s Patrick Ramsey and I’m Ramseyfan and I didn’t even get a chance to shake his hand. After I got my coffee (I didn’t leave the line because I didn’t know whether I should stalk him), I decided to go over and introduce myself to my favorite Redskin. I saw him sitting with his wife at the gate. I said, “I’m sorry to bother you, but I had to introduce myself. I also just want to say that I really think that you are one of the best quarterbacks in the league and that I have no doubt that you will become a legend. I just hope that you aren’t going to leave D.C. I would be absolutely crushed if you did.” Ramsey then looked at me and said, “I don’t want to leave D.C., I really do want to stay here.” I then replied, “You can’t leave, Jansen is here and he’s your best friend.” Ramsey’s wife then laughed and I noticed that Ramsey was actually blushing! He then asked me if I was headed to Atlanta (where he was headed), and I said no. He asked where I was going and I could not remember. I looked at the ground, then I looked at my girlfriend for some help. My girlfriend then said, Monterey, California to which I replied, “yeah California.” Ramsey said, “ohh that’s cool, we’re going on vacation.” I then told Ramsey that my screen name on thewarpath.net (yes I told him about the site) is “Ramseyfan.” He grinned and said, I’ll have to check the site out. My girlfriend then asked if she could take a picture of the two of us and he said, “sure.” Ramsey then got up, put his arm around me and my girlfriend took the picture. I never realized how big he was until he stood up. I’m 5’10” and he looked massive (I expected someone a little shorter and a little scrawnier). I then shook his hand, begged him to stay, and I mentioned that my girlfriend’s name is Jennifer but her family (who are from Louisiana) call her Ginny as well. He said that was cool, I met his girlfriend and we said our goodbyes. I’ll be sure to post the picture of me and Ramsey as soon as I can. |
