Said Hi to Robbie Tobeck Tonight

Met up with some good friends who moved out of State and came into town today...We stopped into Vino at the Landing in Renton. I immediately recognized Robbie from across the room. I wasn't going to be "that fan" and walk up to him and butt into his conversation with his friend so I figured if he was to walk by me I might extend a hand. Sure enough, right before we were getting ready to leave, he got up to head to the head...Walked right towards me...He saw the Seahawks cap I was wearing and I could perceive the hint of a smirk when I extended my hand and simply said, "Hey Robbie, nice to see you!" As usual, he was extremely pleasant. There's no doubt if I asked him what he thought of the Seahawks/Wilson/et al, he would have taken the time to engage me for a minute. (I've met him before and chatted with him a good 10 minutes or so coming out of a game once)...I didn't want to keep him. My friend shook his hand, introduced himself as well.

There's a time and place to engage a former favorite Seahawks player but when the man has to go, the man has to go!

I was at the LA Fitness.

Lesson for you then: Exercise less, drink more wine.

You're welcome.

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing that. I actually met his mother in law. She worked with my Uncle and one day I had to pick up the Uncle at work. They were all hanging out in the back and I got to meet him and his fam. Very down to earth guy. Could picture myself having a couple brewsky's with the guy.

Awesome, I'm sure players appreciate when fans keep it real and not interrupt and act giddy..... well played !

I think I posted this story already but I delivered pizza to Robbie Tobeck 3-4 years ago. He'll always be one of my favorite Seahawks. I got more star struck with him then when I met Doug Baldwin and Trufant.

Did he give you any fish? If not, screw that guy...

Robbie Tobeck Tweeted that some drunk guy in a Seahawks cap was stalking him all last night...that he was mumbling something about remote controlled planes....

NOW it makes sense.

:lol:

Good call on shaking his hand before he did his business, not after.

Are you kidding!? Aros wouldn't have washed his hand for the rest of his life!

Robbie and I talked insurance one time a couple years back. Talked to him on the phone.......
