Organize an Event with Brandon Mebane

Brandon Mebane's agent, Chuck Price, contacted me about organizing an event with Mebane. I am not here to promote Mebane except as a player, but I think it would be miserly of me to not help out in what could be an awesome opportunity for fans. To hear Chuck say it, what could an awesome opportunity for Brandon too.

So I throw it out to you. He suggested Labor Day weekend. We didn't decide exactly what to do, but I assume it would be family friendly. What is something we can organize that you would attend? Throw out some ideas and I will send them to Chuck. And we can help the Seahawks best overall player earn a little love.

ME!

ME!! BANE!!!

Finishing my first season of Madden 11 and Mebane is the best DT in the NFL. 11 sacks, 25 TFL, 3 FF and 5 PD. Obviously Madden 11 knew how Mebane could play.

Portland transplant to Boston.

BRANDON!

Wait, am I doing that right?

Holy shit yeah.

Other players do bowling nights, but I hate bowling.

I’d be down for a flag football tournament, Home Run Derby, Kickball/Softball, anything like that; combined with a barbecue.

Except those are all outside and he might want to do something inside. I hate bowling…but if you mix it with karaoke it can be hilarious in the right hands.

He could host a party at an arcade joint, like Gameworks. They have games for kids and beer for adults.

Good point.

The Gameworks-like idea is good. Better yet, one of those bouncey-toy things. Just scatter piles of Field Gull community all over a gigantic bouncey toy city thing and let Mebane bounce us all around.

On a serious note, though, with Madden 11 just releasing today, and everything (though I haven’t played Madden since like 2003) the arcade party/BBQ thing is actually the best sounding idea so far.

You're never going to believe this, but a lot of football players LOVE playing Madden

I would imagine the easiest way to get an NFL player to show up to such an event is to hold a Madden tournament. And since Madden 11 just came out…..

Brandon Mebane styled Family Portraits

Where you can come and take a classic family portrait with Mebane. Sell the photos for $20 a pop and give the proceeds to a charity of his choice.

Damn it...this sounds fantastic.

It’ll be like one of those booths they have at wedding receptions. We can do it out on the green with some other shit while we BBQ; Dunk tank, see if we can get some Madden tents going, bouncy castles for kids, clocking your MPH throw speed, a 1980’s Billy Joel cover band, maybe some local Seattle Hip Hop, all that bullshit people like to do at BBQs. We’ll call it “The Mebane Block Barty”.

My idea is nerdy. But hey, they went with John Morgan!

DT clinic. Show us techniques, line play, what interior linemen do and how to counter it. What to watch for, as a “fanateur” scout. Super nitty gritty details.

Too nerdy? Beer pong tourney, then. Arm Wrestle Brandon Mebane for $10 to charity! I don’t know. But I’m defintely interested in coming.

I'd be super siked on this.

Some sort of film sesh, where we go through a game and he says “yeah here, it looks fine but i was really out of position because i was supposed to shade the B gap…..” I’d nerd out so much.

Or a BBQ? I bet Mebane LOVES to barbeque. What if he worked the grill and just shot the sht with people?

Tug of War

Mebane against any N guys. (Three? Four? Five?)

by robbbbbb on Aug 11, 2010 3:12 PM PDT reply actions  

Nice.

I’ll be unpacking from my move TO Denver that weekend. >:(

by lackskill on Aug 11, 2010 3:18 PM PDT reply actions  

As an exile, I can't attend

But if he comes through, I’ll buy a Mebane jersey.

Damn you lucky left coasters….

Thank you, Walter Jones.

Limo ride to get sushi

bring Red along as well.

It is what it is...

I would like an event with Mebane, Carlson, Nick Reed, and Pistol

Pants would be optional just so Robert can take part.

Nick Garcia is the Brian Russell of MLS but 10 times worse.

John, this is really awesome.

First the book, and now this. When you make it big and are working for the Seahawks or some media network, please don’t forget us at Field Gulls. Congrats.

It's Great to be a Florida Gator!

Full Size Chess Game

Mebane vs. John Morgan in one of those full size chess games, where fans with different home and away jerseys are the pieces.

Book Reading

Mebane reads excerpts from Pete and John’s new books, with reading glasses on the edge of his nose.

"His strong manly hands

probed every crevice of her silken femininity, their undulating bodies writhing in sensual rhythm, as he thrust his purple-headed warrior into her quivering mound of love pudding."

Wow

The image of Bane reading this to us is disturbing

by ErictheHawksFan on Aug 12, 2010 1:23 PM PDT up reply actions  

Just so I don't look like a pervy creep and dispell any notion that I came up with that,

it’s from the Naked Gun 2 1/2.

Just the first thing that came to my mind when a public reading was mentioned, and it was too rich not to share.

Fishing Tournament

Come on, this is South Alaska, lets show them some Sockeye.

Meetup at REI

Where Mebane must do the climbing wall, mountain bike course, and try on stuff way to small and gucci for him.

Rent a bunch of sabbots and hold an informal Regatta on Lake Washington.
