Anybody Else Meet Haloti Last Night In Westminster?

[Ravens549]

I went with my brother in law to assist him with a purchase for his wife for Christmas. I had no idea what it was, just that he needed help. As we walked into the novelty store he hands me an envelope. I was thinking wth did he bring me to Westminster so I could use a gift certificate to buy a picture? DUH!

Let me tell you, I had to 'man up' quickly. One can't look into Haloti Ngata's eyes with tears in them! lol

It took me 10 minutes just to calm down enough to get his autograph on a helmet. The guy is B I G ! Very friendly, and shy.

2 things, I changed out of my Ravens clothes I had been wearing all day into work clothes to help my bro in law load this present into my truck. I didn't want to get them dirty. And 2, all I could get out of my mouth when I met Ngata was......"Thank-you, thank you!" UGH.

Did you get a picture with the giant?

The irony of the surprise was that the 'story' to get me out of the house was that my bro-in-law needed me to help him pick up a cast iron stove from somebody down in Westminster.
So, I changed out of my Ravens clothes that I had worn Monday and put on old clothes for moving a stove.

My son still had his Ravens clothes on, so he got his picture with Haloti.

*Man, it would have been awesome to get a pic with Haloti in my authentic black Ngata jersey. But the surprise was much better!
