OT Charles Rogers Encounter

Submitted by Nosce Te Ipsum on
I don't believe I have contributed as far as producing content thus far in my short time as a member so I thought that this would be of some interest. I recently injured my knee trying to do something my body couldn't but my ego intervened and thus I am faced with my current misfortune. Anyway, enough about me and more about Mr. Rogers. I just began my PT and while I was in the waiting room I saw none other than Charles Rogers walk by. I had to do a double take but on further inspection I was certain it was him because not only did it look like Charles Rogers but he had on a diamond encrusted time piece. There is a athletic training facility on site which is where he came from. I hated myself for not saying something. Nothing rude, mind you, but a little trash would have sufficed. Not more than a minute after this thought had crossed my mind did I notice that he was coming back inside. I was unsure what to do but I was wearing a luxurious Braylon Tee so I called his name and popped my tee so he could see it in all its glory and said, "Go Blue". He smiled and said, "when was the last time you guys beat us"? Not sure what to say I let the first thing in my mind fly. "We'll get ya in tree city this year". Nothing too profound but I thought a neat story nonetheless. I'll be seeing a lot of Charles from now on as I was told he comes in regularly. Any suggestions on some funny banter for my next encounter?

Find out where he lives and decorate his house in michigan stuff after the big victory this year. In all seriousness, wear your M shirt and be as respectful as you can. Best thing you could do is make him walk away thinking M fans aren't that bad. I’ll get off my soapbox now.

I would never be disrespectful to him. I believe he owes the Lions some money and that is not fair game. I'm just talking about playful trash talk. He seemed like a nice guy and said thank you to the lady at the desk when he left. He has a pretty awful jumper, though.

Dealing with razzing at his doctor's appointments shouldn't be one of them. He would have been within his rights to tell you to fuck off, he must be a nice guy.

Will do. I went and shot around after I was done with therapy so maybe next time I'll be able to shoot around with him. That would be cool. He's a World class athlete so it would be pretty awesome to talk with him. Let me just be clear, though, I don't plan on being a nuisance to him while he is there or everytime I see him (not directed at you CR). I'm not that kind of person. It's just that it was my first encounter with a pro athlete that came from MSU so I couldn't resist. It was all in fun and he took it as such. I go back Friday so we'll see what happens.

What cell is Charles in? Is he actively recruiting for MSU from his cell? MSU apparently has a new positions on their roster: DT has been replaced by B&E, and WR by DUI. Did you ask him what his record was against Michigan? Lets see: 1999 MSU 2000 Michigan 2001MSU (cheated) 2002 Michigan followed by Michigan wins in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007... But then again, he probably can't remember that far back...
