The reason a guy in NY would recognize Grant is that was Grant’s first team. He was traded from the NY Football Giants to the ACME Green Bay Packers for a 7th round pick.

The reason for the trade? Grant fell through a glass table at a bar and cut his arm really bad and it cost him a year. It frustrated the Giants so they gave him away basically.

Yeah, seems a fan might be a bit angry.

Gotta give Grant some serious props there. . .that’s a long ways to go to make sure you’re there for the opening ceremony of a minor league baseball game.

It’s refreshing that he didn’t play the race card on the car service deal, although that’s what it sounds like to me.

Contrast this with LeSean McCoy, who apparently can’t show up to anything.

I like Grant’s determination to fulfill a commitment.

So does Ryan Grant mess around with his pitching? Did he make his pitch to the plate?

Apparently Grant uses that car service so since he knows who drove off there will be more to this story. I would suspect Grant will be following up on this and somebody is going to get yelled at.
Kudos to Grant for keeping his word and doing what he had to in order to show up. Some pro athletes
don’t seem to think that’s important.

“He might have been a Giants fan”

this reminds me of the fresh prince episode when Carlton and Will get arrested for “driving too slow”

Yes Ryan, he was not a Packers fan …. but he instantly recognised you … Weird ?? isn’t it

Wow. Proud to be a Packer fan. It’s nice to see, in the heat of this labor battle, that some players are doing whatever they can to represent themselves and the organization well. It’s things like this that give me hope a deal will get done.

He should have just called Childress, he’s always ready to run to the airport.

One of Ted Thompson’s best pickups, he not only gives 110% on every play, he’s smart (4.0 Notre Dame) and dedicated. He also realizes he is not a modern day slave. May not be as talented as Adrian Peterson, but way smarter and doesn’t fumble. Glad he is a Packer.

I wonder if he can sue the car service for the costs. I would think he could and should.

Couldn’t agree more brewdogg. Pervy, I’m sure Favre has enough trouble at home — seriously doubt he’s got time to prank anyone.

“Hope it hurt your wallet Grant. Jokes on you big mouth. It only cost Favre a grand to pull it off.”

Is that how he’s spending the money he stole from the Vikings? I wonder how many pranks the Vikings could have afforded with that 3rd round pick they spent on Randy.

He also does not produce.

In the Packer’s offense, he produces about what they need. Sure he was injured this year. But he averaged 1200 yards and 7+ TD’s the last two years. For a passing team that’s not too bad. Of course you have Cedric Benson. Almost as good as Grant.

So much for players curbing their spending habits.

Did you get a copy of that memo Ryan?

“As I stuck my hand to open the car door, he locked the door and drove off.”

Damn, everyone’s taking this lockout pretty seriously.

Considering the recent news about people skipping engagements, this is good to hear. Good luck on your comeback, Mr. Grant, the NFL needs more men like you!!
