Just had an awesome fan experience...

Just had an awesome fan experience tonight at Double Trouble's annual "pro bowl" party. Got to spend some quality time with DWill and JStew and there were a ton of players and coaches there including:

Jordan Gross

Maake Kemoatu

Jeff Otah

Ryan Kalil

Geoff Schwartz

Mackenzie Bernardeau

Moose

Hoover

Matt Moore

Gary Barnidge

Richard Marshall

Josh McCown

etc...

I would encourage all huddlers to go to http://www.doubletrouble3428.com and sign up to become a "troublemaker" so you can attend events like this and be eligible for prizes like autographed double trouble cleats and jerseys. Some lucky guy won game worn and autographed double trouble jerseys tonight...

Even the old ball coach himself was there... snapped a few pictures and got a ton of autographs:

What the hell is D Will wearing?

The gimmick of this party was to wear a holloween costume (I didn't get the memo). Nobody knew why they were wearing a costume until well into the party when DeAngelo announced they would be shooting a new intro video for the doubletrouble3428.com site that would be reproducing MJ's "Thriller" video. They even flew a coreographer in from LA to help...

DeAngelo and Stew also gave gifts to Coach Fox and the offensive linemen that were there. Fox got a Panthers helmet with cup holders on each side, the lineman all got watches except for Kalil who got a quad (4-wheeler thingy) didn't catch the backstory on that but I assume it has something to do with him being the center.

Out of everyone Kemo was easily the friendliest guy, he said he'll be ready to put weight on his leg in about a month, hard to image the guy has been on one leg since August.

    • He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.  
    • This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.
    • I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
