I saw Hass tonight!

Yes, this is what I've been reduced to as a former sports blogger: making trivial note of any chance encounter with an athlete that I might have as a football fan, grasping onto the fumes of coincidence so I can show off my mere presence in the right place at the right time. It's pretty pathetic actually. Don't become like me.

THAT SAID, I was at a Belltown restaurant this evening with Some Business Associates, and about halfway through our pork terrine, Matt Hasselbeck walks in and takes the table next to us with a couple of friends. It was kind of thrilling.

Did not appraoch him.

His back looked fine but he didn't use it that much.

Anyway, that's all.

Um, anyone hitting Bumbershoot this weekend?

Oddly enough

I rather enjoyed your post…. however pathetic that is. I’m sure that drops me a rung below you in lameness.

I'd like to kick Josh Brown in the privates!

Nah, you're good.

‘Cause in addition to seeing him I had to go through that whole thing of whether I should stand up and thank him. The tension was palpable. But I decided not to because the dude was just out eating dinner with friends and I’m not really into that whole shake-hands-with-a-celebrity thing.

Plus I appeared to be the only guy in the restaurant who knew who he was. Which could very well be why he chose the place: Nobody hassled him. Excuse the pun.

I bumped into him once at a car dealership (people can probably guess the one from his endorsements)

I had the same moment of whatshouldido. I ended up going with the nod and smile.

you should have at least shook his hand and thanked him...

…for his children that you sacrificed at the alter.

That wasn't me.

That was one of the Business Associates. Fire terrifies me.

All bald men look alike ;-)

But that’s neat Shrug!

Give me the home, where Buffalo roams, and watch Jones get a hundred yard game.

Good to see you around again Shrug.

But I must say, you say “Don’t become like me,” then describe a business dinner at some posh restaurant that’s so fancy not only does Matt Hasselbeck eat there, but the rest of the clientele is too elite to even know who he is.

Well…I once had a homeless guy take a swing at me through a drive thru window. So there.
