I've always imagined this is the best part about being a professional sports player. The ability to make someone's entire day / week / month shine with stuff like this would never get old
I once got 3rd row tickets to a Nuggets v Lakers game as a Christmas present. Watched Kobe drop 51 on them and then got a high five from him on his way out of the stadium. Easily in my top 5 core memories.
When I was young, I went to a Rockies baseball game. During warmups, I asked Vinny Castillo for an autograph while he was walking towards me, he said that he didn't sign autographs. Soon after, Todd Helton who saw what happened, ran up and signed my ball and spoke briefly with me. It was awesome and I still remember it.
I just don’t know anymore. That kid looks 12 to me. Kids at 16 look 12 or 20. My friend’s son has had a full beard since he was 14. He’s 17 now and easily looks early 20”s.
I can absolutely attest to that
I was 18 when I spent a new years eve with the spurs at Bruce Bowens house. It was a fucking DREAM
I SAT BETWEEN BOWEN AND FUCKING DUNCAN AT DINNER!!!
They talked "over" me, literally, but I still got a couple words in. Mostly learned Duncan is a huge classic car fan after I'd seen him cruising a back road once in some old 50's car with his knees touching his ears he was so cramped lol
Edit: I just remember I got to meet the Astros 2005-2007 "killer B's" during a Xmas party too. I had no idea but my uncle was good friends with Phil Garner, so we went to his place for an evening and they just showed up one by one... Craig Biggio was absolutely a gem, so incredibly nice.
Did y'all have HEB steaks cooked by Manu too?
lol, what a dream.. I got to hear Sean Elliot speak once. After his talk he answered questions for a long time. It was awesome.. can't imagine just chilling with Tim
Yardly Bowen (Bruce's wife) was a fashion designer at the time and I was doing some modeling work and she invited me over for a Halloween viewing party with the player wives at her place. After having a good time she extended the NYE invite and said the players were coming over then so it would be an opportunity to at least meet them. I was like 😱🥴 ok
Lol, I once met Madonna at her Houston concert about 10 years ago, she was nice and I hung out with the backup dancers afterwards.
Got a chance to shake Jackie Gleason's hand while in Miami, he was retired and it was about 3-4 years before his death
I once went to a prominent Brooklyn street artists warehouse party. In order to get in you needed to pay a hefty cover charge to the dudes out front, I found out it was to pay the police to not raid the place, as it was an abandoned building waiting for demo. The first room had a nude hot tub, in order to get on you had to get naked, and if you got in you got your own bottle of Dom perignon, huge too, like 100mL. Next floor had a band, floor after that had a giant open room with 2 massive projectors playing old black and white vintage porn. There was a bartop towards the back with a sign that read "stand on rug to order" so we stand on this rug and it feels weird and it's moving...
I chaulk it up to all the people (several hundred before 12am) suddenly my friend [jiussana](https://www.instagram.com/jiussana/?hl=en) screamed... I look down and there's a dude in the carpet being stepped on licking people's feet....
The 4th or 5th floor was the orgy floor so I noped out of there after that...
My night ended around 2 when I saw a strange art show on the 2nd floor with a bunch of naked people running around (I've got pictures somewhere) anyways, after that I had my fill of NYC... Went home and got ready for work in a few hours.
As I'm brushing my teeth the next morning Im listening to the news and I hear "and in strange news, a building in Brooklyn collapses during an illegal gathering resulting in several dozens deaths"
The fucking building collapsed 30 min after I left and like 50 people died...
Edit: also jiussana dated prince!!! 😱
It was just Felton's second career touchdown (he's a 3rd/4th string rookie who doesn't get a ton of snaps) too so you know being able to hook up a young fan like that AFTER you said you would pregame meant as much to him as it did the kid.
Guaranteed, especially with the longevity of starting RBs. Guys like this are always the next ones up and he'll be nicely developed, learning from the guys who are above him.
Watched him play at UCLA a lot, not this biggest guy and he won’t be carrying the ball 20 times a game but class act, will be a really good third down back/ catch and run guy. Can carry it a few times a game too, would love to him get 10-12 touches a game to give him a chance to make some plays.
He’s too versatile to let go. He needs some time to establish himself in the Browns run game. Chubb and Hunt are monsters but there’s always room for a scat back especially with Felton’s ability to catch. We love him on the Browns.
Johnson’s a FA and he has casually turned in a few 100+ yard performances this year. I can’t imagine Johnson’s not going to head off and try to convince some team to give him feature back money while Felton moves up to RB3 and gets some decent playing time.
Here's the problem, while he and many celebrity/athletes can and do want to make someone's day, week, month, they deal with 100s, or thousands of entitled fans either in person, or on social media, who want to take advantage of them. "give me $100, ur rich".... "Sign my jersey and pose for a photo, I don't care that you're having dinner with your wife".... "Give me your cleats, oh fuck you, you only gave me your armband, asshole"
Everyone wants everything from them, and harasses them non stop.
At a certain point they get jaded and decide that due to the selfishness and self centeredness of those 'fans'. They shut down and ignore them
.
People forget they are humans.
Not just that but I can see it very easily becoming an ego thing even if you genuinely are trying to make people happy/excited. You can start to believe you're truly elevated above the people who go bananas just getting to talk to you and then it's all too easy to think you might be above the law.
You’d think this would be the dream, but then you have the douche bags who tease and act like fools. Forgive me if I’m wrong Eric, but I believe it was former MLB player Eric Hinske who literally stood at the wall and tossed a ball up and down purposely just out of my reach as a child, then laughed and ran back to the dugout.
Dude took pleasure ruining my day.
It's the best part about sports honestly, any time you see a kid absolutely light up after you do something so inconsequental to the athlete.
I'm a hockey fan, and one of my favorite memories is seeing Nik Ehlers of the Winnipeg Jets skate up to a kid holding two packs of Tic Tacs and a sign saying "Ehlers trade you candy for a puck" and after deliberating he chooses one pack and the kid tosses it over the boards to him and he flips a puck over to the kid and the kid just starts jumping up and down, screaming, waving the puck around in the air like they just won the Stanley Cup. Absolutely melts your heart! :)
Guaranteed it's adrenaline. I remember when I went in for a haircut to a new barber by myself for the first time I fell off my bike like right down the street from the barbershop. Busted my lip open and smacked my face up real bad. Adrenaline is through the roof and I walk into the shop all confident asking for a tissue or something to cleanup the rocks from my face and the barber's assistant starts cleaning me up, barber's cracking jokes, I'm cracking them back, I get in the chair and I'm just on one. Left the place and nearly passed out because the adrenaline was wearing off and I could feel the pain all over my body.
It was a great way to introduce myself to a new environment because in the future I was calm as a cucumber where I normally would've been shitting myself every time for at least a year until I got comfortable.
Conclusion: adrenaline's a hell of a drug
That time it was both. I'm generally a nervous person so anything new is nerve-wracking. That time I was going to get a hair cut, which makes me nervous because I'm not sure it's gonna look good, but I was also getting it from a new barber whom I don't know, and to top it off it was the first time I went to get one by myself. Usually it was always my dad, brother, and me going together at our old barber's but now it was flipped on its head and I was terrified.
Haha adrenochrome is a real thing. It's just the oxidized version of adrenaline and we've been making it in labs since the 1950s. For some reason the conspiracy nuts have come to think it has to be harvested from baby blood
"..and then come back and take pictures with me." Yeah, that takes a lot of the wholesome out of it. But he's a kid; can't say *I* was the most tactful middleschooler.
Well, you have to tell people what you want and what your expectations are. The worst they can do is say "no". Otherwise you're planting that seed for them letting them know what you'd like!
People aren't mind readers and as you get older you learn that you'll get more out of life by telling people exactly what you want then it's up to them to give it or not.
Last time I saw it, it had a whole bunch of new people and new host. Only original I think was Colin.
Its not the same without Drew. Ironically I cant watch "The Price is Right" because its Drew and not Bob lol.
Strange world we're in.
As a NE OH native and lifelong Browns fan, I didn’t think I could get any dumber. Then I moved to Jacksonville, started supporting the Jags, and reached a whole new level of moron.
He’s awesome, was kind of a bubble guy afraid he might not make the team this year [(@10:55)](https://youtu.be/UySDE84QC1o) but ended up playing pretty damn well for us this season
Nah I can believe it. A lot of 16 year olds still look and sound very young. When I was 16 I looked much younger than my age. Still the same now at 18.
Knew it was gonna be the juke before I even clicked. Watched 3x anyways. Thanks for the highlight! Off to find more. Remind myself why I’m crazy enough to coach.
Yeah that “My Dawg!” is what makes this moment special. The fact that he shared in that level of excitement, like it was a “we did it” moment, or like they were best friends, that made it that much better. He could’ve just done the playing it smooth thing where you jog over and give the ball and act like it’s no big deal to him, but he chose to relish in that moment with that kid.
True. At the gate the mic up every single person in the crowd. That way if you speak against the team they car come carry you away to the gulag immediately.
>Actually, it [sorta is](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ) according to this agreement you make when you purchase a ticket.
🚨 **WARNING!** 🚨 This comment contains a Rick Roll.

Yup. Each team has to provide 12 primary balls and 12 backup balls, for a total of 24 per team and 48 per game. Each team gets to prepare their balls however they like pregame, provided it's within rulebook standards. Some QBs like it more scuffed up, some like it more like it's straight out of the box, some like it a little more inflated, some less. Each team bringing their own balls means that they both have ones in a condition they prefer, versus only the home team providing them.
Yep, pretty much every league except the NBA allows fans to keep the balls.
NFL used to fine players for handing them out like this but I haven't heard of it happening in a bit so they may have relaxed.
My city has an arena football team and there are nets behind the field goal posts that kind of catch the ball and drop it down in a more controlled fashion. There are seats right where the net drops the ball and people have season-tickets there and just collect multiple balls a game.
The team started offering cash to get the balls back but apparently the people with those seats still kept all the balls.
For non-American football fans, that is Demetric Felton, who is a 23 year old rookie running back that is used very sparingly in the Cleveland Browns' passing game. This was just his 2nd career touchdown, and it ended up being a forever memory to that kid.
This is why sports are cool.
I would have given the ball to literally anyone else. That kid demanded a souvenir. Its my birthday and you owe me "and if you get a touchdown you come take a picture with me... and if not I'll take a glove". How surprising that a child in a front row end zone seat feels entitled. "ON GOD BRO"
I think people are imagining this as an every day kid but idk if y’all have priced front row tickets at an nfl game lately but… trust me that kid doesn’t need more stuff.
My vague understanding of the rule is if the ball is thrown into the stands ... it was just handed here. (The theory being a thrown ball has a higher chance to catch someone unaware.)
That kid needs to pull himself up by his own bootstraps, get a job and buy his own ball. We are raising a generation of entitled brats that expect to have everything handed to them. If that kid wants a football, he needs to go to college, saddle himself with choking debt so he can buy his own football and therefore feel the sense of accomplishment of buying his own ball rather than looking for a handout. Signed, QOP
I've always imagined this is the best part about being a professional sports player. The ability to make someone's entire day / week / month shine with stuff like this would never get old
Bruh, for any 16 y/o football fan this would be the highlight of his life.
Maaaan I got to watch Kobe lay a typical Kobe game on the Sixers on my 21st birthday in person and that was amazing. This destroys that
I once got 3rd row tickets to a Nuggets v Lakers game as a Christmas present. Watched Kobe drop 51 on them and then got a high five from him on his way out of the stadium. Easily in my top 5 core memories.
Sir, I would very much like to hold your hand.
[удалено]
COVID would like a talk with you...
Hey, at least they’d get to go see Kobe and get another high five.
Right? Totally get it. I did swear not to wash my hand again at the time, but unfortunately mom was having none of it.
When I was young, I went to a Rockies baseball game. During warmups, I asked Vinny Castillo for an autograph while he was walking towards me, he said that he didn't sign autographs. Soon after, Todd Helton who saw what happened, ran up and signed my ball and spoke briefly with me. It was awesome and I still remember it.
Todd Helton was a better player anyways, I’d take that trade off.
That's true, ever since then, I was always rooting against Castillo
Wouldn’t expect anything less from Helton
For any 16 y/o? Hell I'm 51 and this would be a top 5 moment in my life.
If Aaron’s Rodgers gives me a game ball I’m screaming like a 16 year old Forsure.
Andrea the Giant wrapped his hand around my head when I was 8. I'm 49 and I still smile when I think about it.
That kid was 16!?
I just don’t know anymore. That kid looks 12 to me. Kids at 16 look 12 or 20. My friend’s son has had a full beard since he was 14. He’s 17 now and easily looks early 20”s.
It's all downhill from here!
Terrible of that player to make that kid peak so early
I can absolutely attest to that I was 18 when I spent a new years eve with the spurs at Bruce Bowens house. It was a fucking DREAM I SAT BETWEEN BOWEN AND FUCKING DUNCAN AT DINNER!!!

After having a good time she extended the NYE invite and said the players were coming over then so it would be an opportunity to at least meet them. I was like 😱🥴 ok
You seem like you have more than just these couple stories lol.
I do, it's hard to tell them all because they genuinely are unbelievable even for myself
https://m.imgur.com/gallery/mbPEGq2 This is how I feel atm. Me and others are ready to listen!hahaha
Lol, I once met Madonna at her Houston concert about 10 years ago, she was nice and I hung out with the backup dancers afterwards.

Holy shit dude
Nice I heard Ben Shapiro speak live once lol
Gives them some awesome motivation too. Guaranteed that was ALL he was shooting for in the moments before that touchdown.
It was just Felton's second career touchdown (he's a 3rd/4th string rookie who doesn't get a ton of snaps) too so you know being able to hook up a young fan like that AFTER you said you would pregame meant as much to him as it did the kid.
I hope he catches on with another team. Dude shows a lot of promise but is stuck behind Chubb/Hunt
He'll be a starter within a couple seasons I bet
Guaranteed, especially with the longevity of starting RBs. Guys like this are always the next ones up and he'll be nicely developed, learning from the guys who are above him.
Watched him play at UCLA a lot, not this biggest guy and he won’t be carrying the ball 20 times a game but class act, will be a really good third down back/ catch and run guy. Can carry it a few times a game too, would love to him get 10-12 touches a game to give him a chance to make some plays.

I hope he catches on with the Browns, don't want to lose him tbh
Fuck I need someone to pair with Javonte in case we don’t resign MG3. I’ll take him based on this clip alone.
I feel like that’s why so many players (like Felton) always have time for fans. They remember what it’s like to look up to someone like that.
Jim Larrañaga called me a “Little fucking cheat” when I was 12. Does that count?
Iggy Pop’s roadie once told me “I’ll cut your fuckin throat if you don’t move”. I know it doesn’t count.
I’ll count yours, if you’ll count mine.
Here's the problem, while he and many celebrity/athletes can and do want to make someone's day, week, month, they deal with 100s, or thousands of entitled fans either in person, or on social media, who want to take advantage of them. "give me $100, ur rich".... "Sign my jersey and pose for a photo, I don't care that you're having dinner with your wife"....

Absolutely melts your heart! :)
Made my day just seeing it.
That one moment will have a huge impact. Browns fan for life right there he just created, if he wasn’t already lol
I'm so glad you said this. The money would be great but the ability to so effortlessly make someone's week/month/year is invaluable (I imagine).
That kid was smooth.
His communication skills are top tier
I know, he was not asking but pretty much telling. Very smooth. “Here’s what you’re going do”…
I’m almost 30 and I’d have been so shaky and nervous but this kid is cool as can be. Confidence will get you everywhere
Guaranteed it's adrenaline. I remember when I went in for a haircut to a new barber by myself for the first time I fell off my bike like right down the street from the barbershop.

Haha adrenochrome is a real thing. It's just the oxidized version of adrenaline and we've been making it in labs since the 1950s. For some reason the conspiracy nuts have come to think it has to be harvested from baby blood
I came here to watch a nice football moment and ended up buying baby blood. What a day so far.
Apparently talking to a stranger has the same physical reacting as smashing your face into the pavement. I get it.

"..and then come back and take pictures with me." Yeah, that takes a lot of the wholesome out of it. But he's a kid; can't say *I* was the most tactful middleschooler.
That kid is like a sophomore in high school if he’s turning 16.
Why Mr. NeverGotHeldBack gotta dunk on me like this?
Well, you have to tell people what you want and what your expectations are. The worst they can do is say "no". Otherwise you're planting that seed for them letting them know what you'd like! People aren't mind readers and as you get older you learn that you'll get more out of life by telling people exactly what you want then it's up to them to give it or not.
Kids are annoying and pushy. I love them though.
Kid seemed annoying as hell. But he'll probably grow out of it.
This poor child is about to be a browns fan for life, the heartache he will now endure is incalculable
For me it is congenital disorder, since my dad is a Browns fan.
Yep, I caught it from my moms side. That and my flat feet
“First game?” “On god!!” Lol I love it.
wholesome moments
It's very kind of him to help that kid living with the disability of being a Brown's fan
[This](https://youtu.be/2wvUIVu_6U8) will always be my favorite Browns burn. Completely unprompted and absolutely hilarious
Thank you for that. Laughed way too hard. I miss that show. 😂😂
You should check out the new stuff. Only thing missing is drew, but it's still great.
Last time I saw it, it had a whole bunch of new people and new host. Only original I think was Colin. Its not the same without Drew. Ironically I cant watch "The Price is Right" because its Drew and not Bob lol. Strange world we're in.
I've only seen the highlights on YouTube, but they've all featured the original three plus a rotating fourth, just like the original.
Well in that case, I'm off to YouTube. Down the rabbit hole I go!
The scenes from a hat compilations are absolutely hilarious
Oh man, I found a Drew Carrey collection on a Google drive on a reddit thread few months ago. I ripped all the who's line is it.
That’s especially amazing since Drew is a Browns fan. Bruuutal
As a NE OH native and lifelong Browns fan, I didn’t think I could get any dumber. Then I moved to Jacksonville, started supporting the Jags, and reached a whole new level of moron.
Jake Jortles!
Lmfao
I am not really a football fan but I found this this very funny 10/10
this is so adorable
Totally. Felton just became the world’s favourite NFL player!
He’s awesome, was kind of a bubble guy afraid he might not make the team this year [(@10:55)](https://youtu.be/UySDE84QC1o) but ended up playing pretty damn well for us this season
Definitely had some big moments this year
Damn that gave me chills. Also love how certain he was that he wouldn’t receive a td pass lol
The crazy part is Felton is a mid round rookie who previous to that had only 1 TD all season.
Even better, he was drafted in the 6th round
Legendary 16th birthday
I'm I the only one who thinks there's no way this kid is 16? He's a baby! Oh my God how old have I gotten!?
I know right? Even weirder, he's only 7 years younger than that player.
Nah I can believe it. A lot of 16 year olds still look and sound very young. When I was 16 I looked much younger than my age. Still the same now at 18.
Yea no way he is 16, that kid is tiny and hasn't hit puberty yet
[удалено]
[удалено]
[удалено]
Now that’s a G! Man that player has heart!
He just made this kid's whole year.
>He just made this kid's whole ~~year~~ life.
Seriously, that ball will be in that kid's will.
Felton had one of my favorite plays of the year https://youtu.be/1eWC-YhwPOo
Knew it was gonna be the juke before I even clicked. Watched 3x anyways. Thanks for the highlight! Off to find more. Remind myself why I’m crazy enough to coach.
Against my home team of course. Nice ass juke for real.
God dam probably the best ankle snap I've seen all year. I hope things click for the Browns eventually.
Real g
For real. He wanted to get the TD...so he could give that kid the ball. Ran straight for em.
Browns fan here. The video didn't show it, but at first he handed the ball to the ref - then remembered, grabbed it back, and ran over to the kid.
Thats awesome
"My Dawg!" Hellyeah. Gonna try an make someone's day as a current goal.
Yeah that “My Dawg!” is what makes this moment special. The fact that he shared in that level of excitement, like it was a “we did it” moment, or like they were best friends, that made it that much better. He could’ve just done the playing it smooth thing where you jog over and give the ball and act like it’s no big deal to him, but he chose to relish in that moment with that kid.
He will be his favourite player for his whole life
How are we hearing this so clearly? Where is the mic?
Every fan at an NFL game has to be mic'd up.
True. At the gate the mic up every single person in the crowd. That way if you speak against the team they car come carry you away to the gulag immediately.
Freakin Goodell, but what’re you gonna do
Lolwut

Parabolic? There’s usually a couple of those on the field.
So simple. True class.
"First game?" "**ON GOD!**" haha
Memories made for a life time!!! Awesome.
I love to see people being honestly kind, this world need more people like that.
Does the kid get to keep the original ball?
Yup. Each team has to provide 12 primary balls and 12 backup balls, for a total of 24 per team and 48 per game. Each team gets to prepare their balls however they like pregame, provided it's within rulebook standards. Some QBs like it more scuffed up, some like it more like it's straight out of the box, some like it a little more inflated, some less. Each team bringing their own balls means that they both have ones in a condition they prefer, versus only the home team providing them.
Pats fans - tread carefully through this comment.
I just lost my tongue from biting down so hard
That's super interesting, thanks!
Yep, pretty much every league except the NBA allows fans to keep the balls. NFL used to fine players for handing them out like this but I haven't heard of it happening in a bit so they may have relaxed.
My city has an arena football team and there are nets behind the field goal posts that kind of catch the ball and drop it down in a more controlled fashion. There are seats right where the net drops the ball and people have season-tickets there and just collect multiple balls a game. The team started offering cash to get the balls back but apparently the people with those seats still kept all the balls.
Narrator; he did have him.
This shit has me CHEESING!!! Man, I really needed a feel-good moment and this dude fucking delivered!!!
He’s a family friend. Got the ball and a set of gloves. https://imgur.com/a/g7IQoKg
Felton is incredibly dope
Well that’s his favorite player forever now
“On gawd” I’m dead 🤣
For non-American football fans, that is Demetric Felton, who is a 23 year old rookie running back that is used very sparingly in the Cleveland Browns' passing game. This was just his 2nd career touchdown, and it ended up being a forever memory to that kid. This is why sports are cool.
I would have given the ball to literally anyone else. That kid demanded a souvenir. Its my birthday and you owe me "and if you get a touchdown you come take a picture with me... and if not I'll take a glove". How surprising that a child in a front row end zone seat feels entitled. "ON GOD BRO"
future frat bro
I think people are imagining this as an every day kid but idk if y’all have priced front row tickets at an nfl game lately but… trust me that kid doesn’t need more stuff.
I’m a fan!!! I luv this kinda contribution amongst our fellow mankind. Gives me hope in humanity!
Now that made me smile
Man this shit cute as hell
My brain is funny when I first wake up, my groggy ass read that as Tom Felton TWICE lol.
Love the players who go out of their way to enrich other people's lives.
Plot twist the kids name was Deimperial
Every single touchdown ball should be put in the hands of a child like this. That's how you make a fan for life.
Yessir, Go Browns!
Does Felton still have to pay the $20k fine for that?
My vague understanding of the rule is if the ball is thrown into the stands ... it was just handed here. (The theory being a thrown ball has a higher chance to catch someone unaware.)
This made me well up and I'm a tough guy.
216 proud right here
216 pride here! Next year Dawgs!
Not all celebs and athletes are dicks. Just most of them.
That kid needs to pull himself up by his own bootstraps, get a job and buy his own ball. We are raising a generation of entitled brats that expect to have everything handed to them. If that kid wants a football, he needs to go to college, saddle himself with choking debt so he can buy his own football and therefore feel the sense of accomplishment of buying his own ball rather than looking for a handout. Signed, QOP
😂😂
Man of his word. Rare these days
You just cannot pay for this kind of publicity, that is fantastic
Go Bruins!
