Listening to Dan Patrick show yesterday, even tho he on vacation. Some other guy(s) were on, one had a cup of coffee with Minnesota.
Said he does some draft work for NFL network now, Phil Simms liked his coverage. So a mutual friend gave Simms the guys number. One day, Phil calls him.
They talk mechanics, throwing motions, etc, the guy is kind of in awe, Phil Simms callin him, after a few, Phil says you should come down, make it a weekend, we'll throw it around a lil bit.
Guy is stunned. Phil literally inviting him to his home. So he picks a weekend, Phil sets it all up, driver picks him up from airport, room upstairs all set up for him.
They spend a couple hours talking motion, mechanics, everything. Have dinner that night, spend the next day and watchin film. Goes home that night.
Guy said he learned more that weekend than his whole life.
That **** is so awesome to me. Former QB sets you up in his home, works with ya, chops it up, watch film, and does it just cuz he's a football junkie. Simms says some dumb stuff on air, but like Madden, he loves this sport.
I can't imagine hangin out with a Simms, or Aikman, or Dilfer talking the position, and the film study. Wish they could do stuff like that for regular folk. I'd sign up in a second.
