Your first time covering a "Big Four" professional sporting event

trifectarich · Nov 10, 2012

Y'all have it way too easy.

It wasn't my first, but I remember covering a game at Yankee Stadium, toting my own MANUAL typewriter along with me so I could dictate a story back to the office at the end of the evening.

And I even had a 60-second conversation with Red Smith that night, so it was pretty damn good for one of my first ventures into the big city.

I did the Dallas Cowboys training camp in Ontario, CA and arrived on scene and everything was cool and I was not nervous at all walking around on the field and taking everything in. But after the practice was over and I was able to interview players. I had Dez Bryant in front off me and was able to ask a few questions before all the other reporters surrounded us and I just froze and was not able to ask another question during the time we all Bryant in front of all of us until later on when I got Felix Jones one on one. It was one great learning experience for me and I don't get why I got this way as I had done lot's of interviews with celebs when I covered entertainment.

Okay glad someone else said it. I got lost so fast. So you asked like 2-3 questions to Dez and then every other reporter came around you and you got tensed up. Then you interviewed him and Jones together? I'm lost.

Maybe sportsnut wasn't even talking with Dez Bryant, since sportsnut was in Ontario and the Cowboys train in Oxnard.
