Message: [QUOTE="ColchVEGAS, post: 3653928, member: 8908"] Here is one for obscure and I am sure if other people go out in Blue Back Square you have met him as well... My wife and I met after work for happy hour at Vinted in West Hartford. She was still on maternity leave with our son, so she desperately needed to get out of the house. Our waiter mid conversation with us asks if we are Adam Sandler fans then opens the door and yells "Dante!" Sure enough Peter Dante waves and walks from across the street and comes and joins us for 45 min or so. Really down to earth and nice guy. Chatted about life, sports, and and just general conversational topics. He is a big lacrosse guy and played in college as well as coaches now. Dante went to Conard High School so my wife and him chatted about that since that is where she went as well and be still has family in West Hartford so he is back in that area fairly often. Took a nice picture with him and our one month old son. While attending UConn I played a ton of pick up basketball, so like many of us I got to play in some games with men's and women's players. I remember playing in one game early on a Saturday morning and got the task of guarding one of the women's players I forget her name. At that time in my life I greatly underestimated the talent of D1 women's players. Let's just say she made me look a fool in the beginning because I was giving her too much room to try and help double down low on Chuck O. Lethal jump shot and sneaky quick. It got the point where my only option was to get physical and just use my strength to muscle her around and throw her off her game. I stripped Chuck O on a double team, that's what you get for bringing the ball down where us little guys are, then took her coast to coast for a layup looking for contact all the way. Should have been an and 1. Ultimately I would say she got the better of me throughout the game unfortunately. That is what I get for playing her soft the first few possessions. [/QUOTE]
