slowmoe57 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 At the Westin in Ft Lauderdale before heading out on the cruise I paid a little extra for Brunch with the players. Cro, Sheldon Richardson (who I met yesterday) Kerley amongst others old and new. Also ran into JN old timer Joisey Jet 5 minutes after checking in. This going to be a blast -- my internet will be limited but will post pictures when I get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slowmoe57 Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 Nice. Care to share any conversation details you had with them? Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk Positives of the trip. You got to meet the players and get autographs and talk to them. But usually in a large setting crowded with other fans (about 200 total) loud music and everyone just bopping around. When I met Chrebet I mentioned I wanted to bring my box of Chrebet Crunch but was afraid it might get damaged. His reply was "Whatever you do don't eat it now". Also Greg Buttle Wesley Walker Anthony Becht and Fabini were probably the most seen on the ship. Also someone posted to ask who they should draft. At a beach party Sheldon Richardson and Copley were walking buy so I asked. Sheldon kinda just looked down but Copley turns and says "To be honest we don't need to draft anyone I think were pretty well set." Was gonna mention QB situation but thought not to go there. Buttle talked to us the most and he talks to you in the same manner he does when he is on TV. Very laid back guy also learned that he absolutely hates SNY but would not elaborate. We did a promo video ( I actually did 2 and I hope that ends up on the cutting room floor) on the Helipad before leaving Key West. Got a great pic of Cro dancing with his daughter (will post at a later time). But Wesley Walker asked how old his kids were (he had 3 of them with him) Cro looks up and has a looks as if he has to think of it then says 10 4 and 2. I was gonna say I think he means all of them but again thought it wasn't a good idea. Negatives -- I thought the current players kept to themselves for the most part and should have interacted a bit more. a total of 16 current and former players and most everyone thought there should have been more. Mo Wilk Kerley Damario Davis were all slated to be there as well but if you ddid not check the website you would not have noticed that they were not going to be there and quite a few were disappointed in that. Also they had a VIP package that was an additional 700 bucks to do more private things with the players (I did not pay this) like a private workout session - 1 player showed up and it was Mangolds backup and all he did was talk for about 10 minutes and that was it. Most I talked to felt it was not worth that much money. Overall it was a great experience but you paid about 2/3s more that a regular passenger I think it should have been a bit cheaper or at least include airfare in the price.

papz187 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Nice....sounds like overall you had a great time. I'd love to be back on a cruise as oppose to freezing my ass off here on the first day of April in MA. Must of been awesome to meet Chrebet and the rest of the retired players, too bad the current players weren't more social.

Ate what I could stayed away from Buffet because I just can't stand them (sorry Crusher). But between Wednesday and Sunday I drank more booze than I would in a month.

NYJetsVets91 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Saw the pictures of the cruise on the Jets website... Made me regret not going. Are they doing one every year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolot Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Nice thread , intersting stuff...I've met Buttle a handful of times at golf outings, he's exactly what you said, a genuinely nice good guy who always engages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowmoe57 Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 Saw the pictures of the cruise on the Jets website... Made me regret not going. Are they doing one every year? The staff was asking what could be better if they do so. We suggested more players, cheaper price and poss leaving from NY instead of Florida and go 7 days (4 day cruise just not long enough for me). So depending on feedback they are going to try and do it again next year just depends on when since there is a small window of opportunity for the current players to actually participate. I will not go next year since I am already booked up on something else. But will post when I see something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
