I was working at Gillette today. I was there from 6am-2pm while they were tearing the stuff down from last nights Billy Joel/Elton John concert, and then was there until 8:30pm for the Revolution game

So this morning, I'm in the tunnel under the stadium making sure everybody has wristbands and stuff. While I was standing there, I was looking down the tunnel and I see someone lumbering in my direction. Mind you I had 2 hours of sleep and no coffee, so I wasn't sure at first, but it was big ole Vince Wilfork. He walked by and said "Good Morning."

I felt like I was a kid again and the hottest girl in school said hi to me. I smiled and nodded and mumbled something that may or may not have sounded like a good morning. That made being there for 14 hours TOTALLY worth it! And today was only my first day working there.

That's cool but, I think I can one up it. I got to touch the Lombardi trophy as Vince held it up in front of me.

I ran into Vince at a local WalMart about 3 months ago in the side garden/plants/trees/landscaping stuff. I just said "Hey Vince- how are you?" and he replied. Good, buddy- thanks" and about 30 seconds later he walked away. It was pretty cool.

It took him 30 seconds to get away from you? I though he had a quick first step...
