Here's me holding the Univ of TN football helmet that Jason Witten autographed.

It says, "To Cameron, Best Wishes!" Jason Witten

The helmet is in my room. You can't miss it when you walk in.

D1 Event With Jason Witten

Last night I went out D1 Sports Training with my Dad. We were invited by our good friend Matt Toy the PR guy at D1 to this big dinner with about 200 people. The featured speaker at the event was Jason Witten, the All-Pro Tight End from the Dallas Cowboys.(He played his college ball at UT). Matt invited me to challenge Jason in a game they called "Are You Smarter Than A Football Player?"

It was just me and Jason Witten up on stage. They asked 2 questions each to Jason and me, about Jason's football career with UT and the Cowboys. I answered both of my questions correctly, while Jason, with the questions being about his own career, answered 1 of his 2 questions right, so I won. I got to talk to him, and he is a great player on the field, and also a great person off of it. He talked on stage for a little bit, and I really enjoyed what he had to say.

But, the game was not all the fun. There was a silent auction there with all the prizes being sports related. As you know, I love sports. So, obviously as soon as I heard " silent auction", and "sports" in the same sentence, I was pretty excited. "When I first got over to the table I started asking if we could bid for some stuff. "Daddy, can we bid for this?" What about that one?" "C'mon, it's only 500.00!!!!" Anyway, we bid on a couple things not so expensive, and at the end I'll tell you what I won .

Meanwhile, there was a drawing for a Univ of TN full-size football helmet signed by Jason Witten. Well, he called the number.... and we had the number!! So we went up there and received a UT football helmet and Jason came over and autographed it to me. So not only had I gotten to go up on stage and play the game with Jason Witten, I won the football helmet also!!!

After that they had a couple speakers come up and talk for a little bit. Although the evening events were over, I had a couple more things to do. First, I went up to Jason Witten, and I got him to sign my friends' football cards that they gave to me to get signed and then sign my card also.

And then, at the very end before we left...remember the silent auction I mentioned before? Well, I won some really cool stuff. In the auction I won a personal signed LaDanian Tomlinson helmet(one of my favorite NFL players) and a signed Heath Miller helmet also! (Miller is the starting TE for the Pitt. Steelers and was on my fantasy team last year) So we picked up the prizes we won, plus a t-shirt I won because they picked my question about mentors to ask Jason during the interview.

I had an AMAZING time. I got to meet Jason Witten, go on stage with him for our contest, get a picture with him and later get his autograph, receive a Jason Witten autographed UT football helmet, also won a LaDanian Tomlinson signed helmet, and a Heath Miller signed helmet. I can probably say I was the luckiest person there...

Picking Cameron's Knows: MLB All-Star Game

I predict that the National League will beat the American League 5-3 for the NL's first win since 1996.

Phillies 2nd baseman Chase Utley will be MVP, although I hope it's Albert Puljos

Don't Miss Wakefield Pitching
National League hitters are not accustomed to seeing AL's (Boston)Tim Wakefield's (first All-Star game) knuckleball. Could be interesting for the batters...and the poor AL (Twins) catcher Joe Mauer who has never caught a knuckleball pitcher.


I correctly picked Home Run Derby champ Cecil Fielder (former Nashville Sounds player!)

All-Star game is being played at Busch Stadium in St. Louis where I'll be in 2 weeks!!!!
