I fueled every time right outside of Orchard Park, NY (Bill's Stadium)
I ALWAYS had on Pats garb...
I Received my share of sh*t for it from Albany thru Erie to Cleveland, but stayed firm
When Romeo & Willie went to Cleveland, with a 2" wide Marker, I wrote, "Good Luck Romeo" "miss U 55" on the trailer door top to bottom....
every day someone would add comments to the door... "He'll need it" Take him Back with ya"
One day in traffic, a SUV honked at me and by the time I could see, it was Willie Mac! I was so happy!!
was fun to get crap from other drivers. then show them my truck... Pat's Fat Head on the side.....NH plates, everything Patriots...chick driving...
Not just the driver, dude... I own the company!
Mostly just good nature junk back and forth, unless it was a Jest fan.... YUK

That's a great story. I love Willie. Wish he never left.

I bumped into Matt Cassel at a bar two years ago in the summer, I was the only one among my co-workers who recognized who he was. At the time nobody knew who the backup QB was except fanatics like myself. I was kind of like, 'hey Matt Cassel! gluck on the upcoming season' He thanked then went back to being surrounded by multiple hot young blond women all over him; it wasn't until this year I learned he's been married since college.

Maybe I'm just egotistical, but I always think of these encounters as the day the celebrity met ME.

Funny you should say your were the only one who recognized Cassel. I was the only one who recognized Faulk. He was standing at the baggage corral, in the the midst of about 200 people and everybody else was oblivious as to who he was.

Same here, I was the only one who recognized Val Venis. Then again he wasn't walking through the airport with nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist.

This is not Patriots related, but last year my girlfriend met Larry David (or an exact lookalike) in a coffee shop in Amherst, MA. She said, "You know, you look a lot like Larry David." and he says, "Hm, I've never gotten that before," acting surprised, but smiling.

I suppose we'll never know for sure if it was him, but it seemed like something he might do.

I hung out with Salman Rushdie all day long 2 years ago. He's a nice guy, had a very hot girlfriend at the time (Lakshmi Singh) but I think she dumped him recently. I bet he's feeling down.
