Edelman, DDTYME, & ME

Hi,

Check out this Julian Edelman DDTYME video on you tube that I was fortunate enough to be a part of.

The backstory to my involvement.

A friend at work (a fellow autograph collector) tipped me off that he would be at a specific Dunkin Donuts from 1-3 that day handing out coffee. I figured I'd show up and see if i could get a signature while I was at it. Well, I left to get their early to 1.) beat the crowd and 2) figure out where I was going (b/c honestly I didn't exactly know where this specific DD was located).

It turns out I wandered too far and actually went past the DD but I stumbled upon Edelman on the street (on his way to the DD). I shook his hand and politley asked for his autograph, and that's when he said he would if I complete the DD DARE.

Well, I'm fat, wearing a donut head, and still look for autographs. Of course some will find what I did to be pathetic, but I'm proud of it and encourage you to check it out. Spoiler alert, I got the autograph (alreayd in the man cave) and this one has a special story (and now video) to go with it.

I'm the guy completing the DD DARE at the 1:14 mark the video.

Here it is.........

whoa those girls fishing for a different kind of dtyme

Funny. Thanks for the video. Good job getting the autograph

Too bad you couldn't keep the ball and have him sign it!

But awesome man congrats. My girlfriend very jeolous of you right now!

I dunno dude, I think it's pretty cool. Considering you're wearing a donut head...nice catch!

Nothing pathetic at all. You have a great sense of humor. Some of you are so lucky to live in the New England area. That's a good memory to have on video. Edes is the best WR, by far, on the roster, IMO. The guy has over come so much to get where he is. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, should really look into his childhood and his College career. His father was very instrumental in his development. I love the guys determination. I had high hopes for him from the beginning. Glad to see it pan out. Enjoy your day in the sun.

Hahahaha that video was great

'That's awesome, brd! You freakin' high-pointed that catch WITH a donut head on!!!!!!

Congratulations - - nice moment.

You're a stahhhh!

Positively Wilforkian on the catch.

That was awesome!! Nicely done man!!

Thanks a lot guys. This was definitely a great experience and I realize how fortunate I am to have this video as a memento. I'm just thrilled I made the catch. You can only imagine what was going through my mind when the ball was in the air just "don't drop it, don't drop it, don't drop it"

Congrats!!!!

Q: What's your opinion on Ernie Adams?

A: smartest man ever ... also, kept plaid alive

The donut head catch was awesome Brd! Didn't know that was you until after I watched the vid and read your comments. Good stuff!

That handsome devil is the New England Patriots' number one wide receiver!

Haha, I just watched that a couple hours ago and at that part thought "I guess he can throw after all, TFB."

Seriously, I played TE in high school for a couple seasons and there is no guarantee I would have caught that. That's a lot of pressure...and again, while wearing a donut head. Respect.

Any chance you can pass block or perhaps have some motivation to try to?

Great catch, dude! Better hands than Amendola.
