True story. I'm a big Dominique Curry fan (Rams ST ace) and he randomly sent me a tweet saying when he is back in St. Louis he wants to take me to Dave n Busters or bowling for being a loyal fan of his.

I replied I would do what I can to get a plane ticket from California to St. Louis when the season begins. He said we will just go out to In n Out Burger when they are in San Fran next year. And that he has another pair of gloves coming my way!

(If you didnt know I went to san fran this year and sat 45 yd line first row behind Rams bench...gm devaney saw me in my ridiculous outfit and invited me onto the field...after game Curry came right over and gave me his gloves...as did my other PC guy James Laurinaitis.)

I know a lot can happen from now till then (like him simply forgetting, not making the team, or being injured) but the fact that it was his invite is so awesome! Plsnning on printing out the Tweetversation and framing it...ha!

Just thought I'd share with you guys cause my wife probably would be as interested as I am in her DVR'd shows.

Congrats on the great story. Its good to know that some of the players out there really appreciate the fans that support them. Hope everything works out in the future and we get to see some cool pics.

So true. He just had a Q&A on Twitter and I asked if he heard my voice at the San Fran game. He said the whole team did cause I was about the only Ram fan that close. He said he told some guys "Thats my dude in the horns!"

And yes I will have pics. Pics or it didnt happen, right?

thats awesome!

Wow, that's awesome dude!

Ahah That's Awesome !!!

Thanks guys. Just the IDEA of hanging out with a player I admire is almost good enough!

Awesome story, I am going to try to get a hold of Cortez Allen via twitter during training camp to see if I can treat him to dinner when the Steelers are in nearby Latrobe, sounds awesome, hopefully I can have the same luck.

That's sweet dude. Tell him to bring Laurinaitis with him.

Ask and you shall receive...it's really only the ridiculous horns...but I wore them ALL GAME...to the chagrin of the Niner fans behind me. And here's a select few including the one that's on the Rams website!

Me and my buddy (who I treated to the game)
Rams at 49ers (http://www.stlouisrams.com/media-center/photo-gallery/Rams-at-49ers/1f673fbd-efe8-417f-ae08-31c732517fda)

My mom and I pregame. She had a cape that said "Ramilicious". That's where I get it from

Me onfield. This was about the only decent shot of me onfield because I spent the majority of the time taking pics of the players.

My guy Dominique Curry

Chatting it up with Austin Pettis. For him there was not a barrier between athlete/fan...he took a little time to talk to fans...probably why he didn't have much of a year.

One of my favorite candids during warmups. Danario Alexander and Coach Josh McDaniels. If only DX's knees were healthy. If only...

Tyson Chandler was being shown the royal treatment by Golden State during the offseason...he was a prick. I shouted "Hey Tyson, congrats on the title!"...he heard me and kept walking so I shouted "Hey Tyson, YOU SUCK TYSON. YOU SUCK MAN!" That'll show him!

Pretty cool to sit behind the defensive bench all game and have James Laurinaitis in my sightlines!

Laurinaitis praying pregame. I'm hoping to get this one signed with some sort of Bible inscription.

Trainers table was right in front of us. We saw A LOT of Rams come by. Including Chris Chamberlain

Punter Donnie Jones...our biggest weapon that day...and many other days.

About the only time Chris Long and Brandon Gibson were smiling all day.

And this is for the guys...they passed by ALL GAME LONG. Plenty of other pics like this in my personal files :)!

C/O the Rams, but I haven't seen one success for a while from him so probably best to wait a little. I've got two plates in mail limbo now that I sent probably 5 months ago to him, so hopefully he goes through his stack soon. Although I did find the 1 plate auto I have of him in a stack of papers I was about to throw out while cleaning up my card desk, so that was nice.

I figured I would wait awhile anyway. Maybe till OTA's

Exactly! And I'm really looking forward to watching Quinn start next year!
