I know how lucky I am to have a chance to get on the field, I was blown away to be standing there. One guy next to me wanted to touch my feet cause they touched FedEx.. lol.
You came all the way from Calgary????? What devotion. Do you ever go see the Stampeders? I watch a little CFL on Comcast Sports Net once in a while. I like to watch the two men in motion and all of the passing.

Re: My FedEx Experience - What a great day!

Hey, Im glad you had an awesome time. I remember my first time back when we played the bears, martyball & tony banks, we lost that game, but it didnt take away from the feeling. Ive been to 5-6 games since, including last years cowgirls ass whooping, and still i remember more from that first game than any other.

A CFL fan in the States? that is cool. I do watch Stamps games as well. Been to lots of them. It is pretty good football, but NFL is my first love. I have been a Skins fan since I was like 7 years old. This was my second Skins game, I drove to Seattle a few years back to watch them play, they won that game, but nothing will compare to this game.

I kind of got into it when Baltimore had a CFL team several years ago. It is good football. I was watching a CFL game a few weeks ago and was shocked to see all the former NFL/NCAA players. Robert Edwards ( a former NE Pats RB ) who tore his knee up real bad was balling in the CFL. Now that is cool. But I can't imagine playing when it gets cold. UNBEARABLE.

I forgot about the CFL's Baltimore Stallions (would've been Colts except for a lawsuit and they almost just spelled the name "Kolts", which would've been retarded.)

Not trying to thread hijack but mentioning the Stallions brings back some memories for me. They played at the old (now demolished) Memorial Stadium which was literally across the street from my old house. I'd sit on my porch and BBQ and "tailgate" until game time and then walk across the street and pick up a ticket. Sometimes, I'd just hangout until half-time then walk over and see the second half free. It was a blast. (FYI - Alvin Walton was their safety and still wore that big-ass neck brace).

If you look at the picture above you see some white houses in centerfield. Mine was on the same street pretty much behind the big Toyota sign.

Re: My FedEx Experience - What a great day!

Here are some of the pics from the trip. Enjoy. I had to put the pic of my bro with D.Hall, he was able to get lots of pics with players and I was not able to get any which kind of sucked.
