Dallsux Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 I work in Tysons Corner Mall & he came into my store just kinda lookin' around. I asked him if he needed some help finding anything & he said he was just browsing. I then asked him if it felt good to play football last night & he looked at me & smiled & said, "Yeah, I got my work in, even if it was for only a couple minutes." I told him that I was a HUGE Redskins fan & showed him my tattoos & he started smiling even bigger & shook my hand. He said it was always nice to meet the fans. As he left, he said that he would be back some time. I didn't really expect him to be as nice as he was, but I was impressed. He's very soft-spoken. Anyway, I just wanted to relay that for those who will enjoy it. Hey DUSTIN, did he come into the Redskins store at all, or did you work yesterday? --------------------->:point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Hey CSA, I see the ink in your signature, do you have any other Redskins ink? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXREDSKINS44 Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 I have read all over this board that Gardener is one of the well-spoken most humbling athletes they have meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definately second that. You wouldn't know it by lookin' at him, but it's true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Originally posted by CowboyzSuckAzz :whoknows: huh? I refer to tattoos as (ink). I saw in your post that you showed Rod your tattoos. After seeing the tattoo in your signature block, of a burning star, I assumed that was your tattoo. So I then asked if you had any other Redskin related Tattoos (ink)...

RedskinsNation Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 I met him last year the Saturday after the Jets game and he is definitly a stand-up guy. I told him good game and he was like "I appreciate it - Thanks". We dapped up and we went our seperate ways. I hope Rod returns to his 2nd year form (1,000 yd season).

Posse81 Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 I really think Rod will BLOW UP this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WM_Marylander Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 If he blows up, we might not be able to afford him! He needs to have a good year, not an outstanding one. And this team needs to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good to hear. I had to laugh at that though because everytime I've heard him talk (which, granted, isn't very many times), I couldn't understand a thing he said.

Ah..ok...it was early, don't mind me. Yes, I have the Redskins Emblem on the same arm on the bicep. I often try to get Cowboys fans to read my tattoo outloud, but trying to find a Cowboys fan that can actually read has become increasingly difficult!

Ya know what, I was kind of afraid to approach him because I didn't think I would understand him either (cause I'm with you, his lingo is difficult to keep up with), but in person, without the cameras & reporters, he talks alot slower & much easier to understand. I used to not like Gardner cause he always looked like...well, like a someone who could be a jerk, but my mind has definately been changed. He is a very cool, likeable, & easy to understand guy! :point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
