One of the perks of my job is that I get to spend a good part of my day interacting with athletes that I grew up idolizing. In some cases, I even played as their character in a video game. This past week was perhaps the best example of that in my fifteen months with OverDog.
On Monday, I spent some time at a golf outing with Bo Jackson, who some might argue is both the best athlete ever to put on shoulder pads and maybe the most dominant video game athlete ever with his unstoppable zig-zagging in Tecmo Super Bowl. I mean seriously, the dude could take it 99 yards and run out the entire clock in the same play.
A few days later, I spent some time on the phone with Jeremy Roenick, a huge gamer in his own right who has been immortalized in video game lore with this scene from Swingers:
