Thats really cool. I wish athletes had a reason to come to upstate NY lol, I would do the same thing you do! You dont feel weird going to the airport prepared to get autographs? Or do you play it off like you are their for a reason and you just happen to see them??

Nice!!! Those are great success's. I like the player to fan connection that can be made using social media and its less mediated (granted the press takes and runs with whatever they want) but for the most part, you could have an un-edited, un-scripted conversation with an athlete about whatever you want. More personal to me.

I'm not into the "Twitter" thing, but these stories are neat. Congrats. I once read a story about Shaq twittering about a little "hole in the wall" cafe and two guys showed up to see if he was the real deal. Low and behold there he was, had lunch with them and left the waiter a 100 dollar tip for fetching him a Sprite before he left.
