Not sure which forum to put this story in, so I'll just go with this one since it involves several current UT players.
I just got back from the an amazing wedding in D.C. The rehearsal dinner was on the roof of the Hay-Adams Hotel, and the reception was in the Capitol Hill Suites.
Along with various members of Congress, the wedding had a fun cast of characters in attendance. To start with, there were several current UT players there (V.Richard, D.Williams, G.Williams) along with Coach Phil Fulmer and his family. Then, I noticed that I really recognized a dude that was there with one of the other bridesmaids...my wife was a bridesmaid too. After staring him down for a while, I realized it was Aaron Rodgers.
He was very approachable, and truly a cool guy. I told Aaron about the time that my friend was asked to host a party and show this high school recruit around (trying to get him to sign with Tennessee). That recruit was Brian Brohm. He was the dorkiest football star I had ever met. He refused to have any sort of fun at all, and just acted miserable from the moment he got there.
I told Aaron that story, and he just came right out with it...he said, "I love Matty Flynn. He's got a lot of talent and he's a cool guy...but Brohm is a big douche. He has zero personality, and it's just awkward to be around him."
Other highlights of my conversation with him were when he promised to put up "big numbers" this year for fantasy football, and when he made fun of Vince Young a little bit.
Still, the best part of the weekend was watching CPF tear up the dance floor (while firmly biting his bottom lip) and when I was able to teach Gerald Williams how a real man dances...sarcastically, of course.
I just had a really good time, and had to share.
