Quasi Celebrity Spotting

After my ladies left me on Sunday, I decided to spend the afternoon watching my New England Patriots on TV. But, of course, all the Pats games get blacked out so we can watch the 2-7 Baltimore Ravens on CBS all the time. (This is one of the top 2 major draw backs of living in DC-cause I love it here- but Im tired of not getting to watch Boston sports- especially Tom Brady)

So I went down to a new bar in my 'hood (you heard me) The Cleveland Park Bar & Grill. Let me just say that the owner is really doing a great job, we came in and all the booths were full, but they put us up at the bar until one opened up, and changed the channel on one of the TV's so we had a perfect viewing of the game we wanted to watch. I really appreciate good customer service.

So Im sipping on my bloody mary, and next thing I know a familiar looking character sits down at the table across from us. I lean over to my companion and say "Man, that guy really looks like Tony Reali, you know...the host of Around the Horn and Pardon the Interuption on ESPN."

I would like to make it known that I watch both of these shows religiously on the treadmill 4 days a week, and that is my excuse for being able to pick this guy out of a crowd.

Honstly, we weren't sure at first, but as time went on...we hear his voice...and I continued to gawk at him from about 6 feet away, eventually I became convinced that its him.

The proverbial nail in the coffin is when Tim Cowlishaw- Around the Horn Panelist and leading reporter at the Dallas Morning News joins him at the table. Now it cannot be denied.

Needless to say I end up giggling like a school girl because:

1. No one is going to understand who either of these guys are except me and a few other sports dorks and yet I find it incredibly entertaining and had to share it with you
2. Tony R. seemed like a big dork (not that its a bad thing) actually I think the phrase I used was "a big tool" (which is a bad thing)
3. The Pats won- and I love them
4. I found a great new bar to watch sports games at- where you never know who is going to show up.
