PATRIOTS!

Hi everyone,
I know its been a while since my last post, but there hasn't been anything huge to update... until now. I just went in during the week to log and archive games like usual, until I got my latest assignment. Yesterday I was sent with Walt, the cameraman, to the New England Patriots OTA (optional team activities) which is like a practice. We were to head out there around 11, watch the practice, and then interview some of the players afterward.
It was SO cold and rainy watching the practice. My rain jacket was soaked through by the end, but it was definitely worth it. We got some footage of the team practicing for a while, and then we had to shut the camera off (you are only allowed to film the first 45 minutes of a practice). We watched the rest of the practice, and then left the practice field to go get set up at the interview area. My job was to be in the crowd of journalists with the mic and ask questions and also make sure we got the sound while other people asked questions. It was fun fighting for a prime spot during interviews, not to mention how awesome it was to be a foot away from some incredible athletes and be able to ask them questions. We interviewed so many players so quickly that I can't remember all of them, but I do remember that Patrick Pass, Shawn Crable, Sammy Morris, Fred Taylor, and Kevin Faulk were among those that we interviewed and it was a lot of fun.
