So we started early Sunday morning. I'm guessing that I had consumed around a half gallon of liquids from the time I'd gotten up until halftime. LOL So I'm standing in a long line that is starting well outside of the men's room as soon as halftime started.

I couldn't help but notice that the guy standing right in front of me in line closely resembles a certain Ram player. In fact, as I realize who this cat looks like,,, I see that he is wearing that very player's jersey. I couldn't not say anything...

So I say to him, "Man,,, you certainly picked the right jersey (88) to wear. You look so much like Lance that you could be his brother!".

So he says to me, "That's because I am his brother. My name is Landen, and Lance is my little "BIG" brother!".

What a trip. We talked through the duration of that long ass line. Landen was very cool. One thing that I said to him really cracked him up. I told him that I think Lance looks just like LeBron James... he then tells me that their Mom tells Lance that all the time. Apparently Lance was only 180 pounds in HS and played basketball. Landen said Lance didn't get bulked up until college.

One of the last things I said to Landen was that I think that I am a good luck charm for a Lance... I told him I was at the Tampon game when Lance scored that 80 yard backbreaking TD. I told him to watch out for Lance in the 2nd half!

We all know what happened!!! Hahahahaha

As we were all leaving our seats exiting towards the concourses... here comes Landen with a big smile right in front of me. We gave some high 5's and laughed with real joy. Also got to meet Landen and Lance's proud Father who was right there with Landen.

It's Tuesday... and I still have a huge permanent smile on my face! I'll get my pictures up by the end of the week.

You lucky bastard. I swear, good stories just fucking follow you.

That's so awesome. Dan and I ended up sitting in front of Fred Jacksons wife. She's super hot. Had a nice convo with her. They're sad about leaving Buffalo. But I thought it was ironic though. She told me to sit down at one point and I was holding back telling her if she needed a better seat I could provide her one ;):ROFLMAO:

I was able to introduce @VegasRam to Landen... he was in line near by.

Glad to hear that Ms Jackson was irritated. Hahahaha.... you should have started singing... "I'm sorry Ms Jackson,,, but WE are FOR REAL!!!"

That song is probably way before your time. :ROFLMAO:

Great story!

I liked Kendricks when they drafted him and he's proven to be a very solid, if not spectacular, addition to the team.

Just seems to step up in big moments.

I love stories like this. It's one of the things that makes going to games so special, 'cause it seems something like this always occurs. I hope you told him to check out ROD :)

Wow, great story....

I think most of us saw Laurinaitis' Dad. Funny, but though never seeing him before, you knew it was him right away. Just looks like a WWE wrestler..... (Have a pic and will post later)

You know what, I have yet to write the thank you to Kevin Demoff. I'll ask him if he'd be open to having players regularly do Q&A's with us.
I sent an email to Amanda thanking her for the great seats
