I (unknowingly) met an NFL player in normal everyday life once, almost 20 years ago now. Obviously a gigantic human being, so as an attempt at conversation I asked if he’d played college football. He got the biggest grin, laughed, and said “yep!” Then we talked about video games for a while. I didn’t find out the “guy who played college ball” was a current NFL player until later that evening, but apparently he got a kick out of having at least one conversation that day that wasn’t about the NFL.
A few years after that, I ended up at a charity event with a few other NFL players in attendance. They make their way around the crowd shaking hands and generally doing their part to raise funds by telling football stories and so forth. When they get to me, I shake hands… but since I’ve got roughly zero other football conversation to have, I told that story. The guy laughed for a minute, then got a thoughtful look. He looks around, and waves another player over. He tells my story again, and they both laugh… and then he says something like “you care if we stand here and talk about video games? I need a break.”
So my advice is to ask them if they played college ball, then what video games they’re playing.
My dad met Marcus Allen and knew he was someone he should know but couldn’t place the name. This was back before my dad retired and he was working near the Denver Broncos facility. Dad stopped by just to hit the Broncos merchandise store. Marcus was there as media, milling around waiting for availability for interviewing players prior to that weeks game. Said they had a very pleasant conversation.
Gronk: What was his whip when he was pool hopping his way through Arizona? Imagining basically a rolling hottub. Jules: Favorite place to stash clean pee in a 911, pretty sure he had one of those for awhile.
Sports questions? Ok, um
Did You See That Ludicrous Display Last Night?
What Was The Ref Thinking?
Don’t ask them about football, see if they’re car guys and if they got any fun road trip or driving stories, heck they might be secret gearheads! I always find it fascinating to find out what some people’s hobbies are.
Like if I ever met Henry Cavill, you bet your butt that we’re going to be talking about Warhammer
Given their size, do they have to spend money to customize cars so they can enjoy them, or do they limit themselves to cars that accommodate their bodies? Also What was their favorite car when they were like 12 years old? What car did they dream about owning someday?
Edelman isn’t a big guy.
What is this ‘football’ you speak of? 😛
Ask them on a scale between 1-10 with 6 being the highest, why is the Oldsmobile Bravada the best vehicle of the 21st century?
Ask him about what it was like to party with Aaron Hernandez.
Killer joke.
“How’s your brain?”
Weird story, because a podcast I listen to had me looking up Gronk today. As a New England guy and lapsed pats fan, you are meeting royalty.
That said, I would love for you to ask Gronk to pronounce any word longer than two syllables.
Do you mean actual football, or your game of hand-egg?
We mean actual football. Not soccer.
BTW, we learned to call it ‘soccer’ from the English, before you all decided to roll over for the French and call it ‘football.’
