I was waiting at the photo area where Dallas would soon arrive. I waited. We all waited. It became quiet. Dallas walked in. All eyes were on him. We made eye contact. He escaped from his entourage and walked over. I looked at him. He looked at me. I floated on air. He swept me up in his arms. Then we danced together. He was the best dancer. He whispered to me sweet nothings and took my hand in his. Then I grabbed his tight end.
(screeching record) ok ok...actually....As sweet as that may sound, this is how it really went down...
I was waiting at the photo area where Dallas would soon arrive. I waited. We all waited. Dallas walked in. All eyes were on him. A few walked up to him. I waited in the shadows. I inched closer, hoping he'd make eye contact. Not a chance. The photos were taken of Dallas and awestruck fans. I wrote down the fans' names. I ran up to get a picture. He said "yes, the one doing all the work has to have a picture too." I grabbed his waist. I smiled big. He laughed. The picture snapped. I shook his hand. He went on his way.
Needless to say, it was still pretty cool to meet the man who helped lead the Colts to an "almost" Superbowl win with his 100 catches this season. Did I mention he farms? Could he get any better? or better looking?
I don't know how impressed they were with me grabbing both their waists - but I was fine with it. Also pictured is retired U.S. General Wesley Clark. We danced too. He actually polka'd with me.
Super Bowl XLI champs! Vince Lombardi Trophy
My coworker, Shelia and I ran onto the Colts practice field to do some pushups before leaving. She's a hoot!
He does have a tight end...HAHAHAHA! Nice push ups! I hear it is illegal to do push ups on the practice field...
ReplyDeleteGreat story; even if a bit of it was fiction, it was very good fiction! Where/What does Dallas Clark farm?? Is it that obvious in his name? Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteToo funny. He's from Iowa, you know. He showed up at a middle school basketball tournament at my school last year to watch his nephew play. It was pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteHannah, I LOVED meeting Dallas when the HH program launched. I was totally taken by him, too! Not so much his tight end, but his arms... ahh yes, his bulging biceps.... too bad I didn't get to go see him a second time. (I had to share the opportunity with the other female staff members!)
ReplyDeleteI just blogged about this even too. (Great Bloggers must think alike.)
