My wife and I went to Greg Jennings' Celebrity Golf Extravaganza last night. Only the dinner part, not while they were golfing. And I had the opportunity to meet a lot of players, as they were just walking around the event. Now I will post my impressions of each player, but I want to make it clear, I KNOW that players are constantly bombarded by fans for pictures and autographs and can't please everyone. And I also know that a 10 second moment with a player doesn't make me an expert. So if I say that a guy was dick, I know he really may be a great guy and was just having "a moment." The event last night was a NO AUTOGRAPH event but the players were aware they would be taking pictures with fans, so it's not like we caught them off-guard.

PLAYERS I GOT PICTURES WITH:

Tob Crabtree - Really, really nice guy. More built than I thought he would be. Dressed in a flanel and jeans. Great guy.

Tramon Williams - Nice guy. Soft spoken. Quick picture and out.

Brandon Jackson - Very nice. Built but very short. I asked him if he was staying in GB and he said "I can't guarantee anything." What else is he going to say?

Nick Collins - Holy shit is this guy built. Dressed in a purple sweater with a tie on underneath.

Nick Barnett - Nice. Very quiet actually.

Bradon Chillar - Super social, was talking with everyone. People loved him. One guy called him Zombo over and over until he had to say "Im not Zombo!" But a really nice guy. Dressed in a Bob Marley T-shirt.

Jermichael Finley - Super nice. Quick picture and out but was more than willing to stop and find a spot to take a good picture.

Sam Shields - Okay, so we were in the tent eatting and Sam was standing right next to us. When he was off his phone I asked him for a quick photo. He let me take a photo with him even thought he was eatting dinner. But it wasn't like it was a sit down thing. More like a picnic setting and we were all standing around small round tables. I felt bad about asking him, like a douche fan, but he was nice enough. Sorry Sam, but thank you! Great photo by the way!

PLAYERS I MET BUT DIDN'T TAKE A PHOTO WITH:

Charles Woodson - He came out and took about 2 photos and then put his hand up saying he had to go. He left the even early.

Atari Bigby - I could have had a photo with him but he looked miserable. He did not go up on stage when they called all the Packers up there and left early. Seemed like he didnt want to be there. But who knows.

Jordy Nelson and Swain - Both were very nice but busy when I met them. Jordy was shorter than I thought he would be. But what a player!

Mark Tauscher - Very popular. Nice guy.

Matt Flynn - Was a complete dick. Arrogant, cocky and seemed like a spoiled country club kid. Was more interested in the really hot woman (wife?) he was with than any of the fans trying to talk to him. Not approachable at all. Maybe he is a nice guy, but it didnt show last night.

PLAYER I COULD GET NO WHERE NEAR:

Aaron Rodgers - He was there but stayed mostly in the VIP areas. Star quarterback, not really surprised by this.

Greg Jennings - He was just really, really busy. It was his event so I could understand why. He walked past me once and he is not a big guy at all.



So those are my impressions. The food was okay, the silent auction was great (I won some cool ass shit) and the player interaction was fantastic.
