It's possible my math is off.

Greg and I were running a live draft for an ESPN event and there was a big fantasy panel on hand as part of the next day's festivities. So Geoff and Jason came to Chicago and we closed the bar, having a great time. I'm sure there was all sorts of other things going on at the bar that night but what I remember most was hanging out with Geoff and Jason and all of us knocking back at least two beers each and having a terrific time.
Surely you jest. Two beers each? As a Wisconsinite and Packers fan I would think you have two beers for breakfast. Greg, is this the type of person you want working for you? Closing a bar with two beers each? And in Chicago, no less. I'd have to imagine they would have asked you to leave as you were taking up valuable space. TWO BEERS!?!? [/QUOTE]Let me add some additional facts to this story. Tom and I knew Jason (Geoff's boss) from past trade conferences, but this was actually the first time we had met Geoff. For one thing, the sonofabitch was a lot taller than he sounded on the phone!! Secondly, he drank like a freakin' fish!! Tom and I were so relaxed we were pounding beers before they got there and it was actually Happy Hour on a Friday night in downtown Chicago so everyone was in the bar feeling good and putting down 2-for-1s with popcorn and nachos and stuff. I know Tom and I were having more than two, but Geoff was having two to every one of ours!!! And I'm serious about that.
We both woke up in bad shape the next morning and the first thought was "wow, I wonder how Geoff feels." We hosted the ESPN Radio 1000 draft for 250+ players, met Jack Haan there for the first time, and took our hangovers back up to Iola later that day. It was a great, great time and we definitely got to know Geoff that day. I still think he sounds shorter on the phone than he really is. Funny how that happens, don't you think?

All is good on the health-front here -- thanks for asking, guys. As a matter of fact, I'm kicking off my fall workout routine tomorrow as the summer heat had me drinking a few too many Geoffweisers and eating waaaaaay too many grilled hot dogs.
And just to clear things up ... Greg and I shared a room with two beds. Much like Tom and I did in St. Louis where his wall-rattling snoring kept me up all night. If the NFFC ever runs a contest to have a sleep over with an employee -- make sure you choose Greg.
