Well, maybe 'met' is an overstatement;

A project at work required me to do some fieldwork in a Toys'R'Us today (spending all day watching a specific aisle and recording shopper activity in and around, talking to people who buy certain things). 

After an incredibly slow start, I'm half falling asleep, when I look up and see someone who looks remarkably like Darnell Dockett on the other side of the store.  I keep an eye on him, and I'm pretty sure it IS Dockett, and not only that he's entering 'my' aisle.  It is completely confirmed when some old guy (who I thought was with him at first the way he was following him) walked up and asked if there were any new injuries, and Dockett said "No, we're all fine" or something like that. Then he picked out the specific toy that I was watching for his kid (who was with him).  I have been doing my job for a while, and can walk up to anyone cold without hesitation (ie beautiful women I couldn't talk to in a bar, whatever), but I was actually nervous; big adrenaline rush.   Anyway, I walked up to him, made my simple pitch (something like; Can I take less than a minute of your time to ask you 2 or 3 questions about [toyname]), and he shot me down cold, said he had to get his son somewhere (and he did seem to be in a bit of a hurry before I approached).  I shot a "good game yesterday" at him and he said "Thanks, I appreciate that", and that was the end of my brush with a Pro-Bowler.
