Honestly, at the time I didn't even know it was Julius Peppers. I knew he played for the Bears at the time, as there were a few other players in that pick up game (Matt Forte, Devin Hester, Johnny Knox before he got folded, and more). Plus I'm a Packer fan so I didn't really want to discuss it with them haha. Wasn't til after the game when I went to lift, that my friend told me who it was.
Years later in NYC that story nearly got me in a fight with a fellow drunk Packer fan as he was defending our players honor, as Peppers had joined GB for a few seasons haha.
That's a wicked story man. Musta been a great feeling. 💪💪

Yeah, it's fun to tell, but that's the strange thing about time. It only feels like stories and a different lifetime ago. It's tough not to look back with the Bruce Springsteen Glory Days song in your head. My life is great, but sometimes I miss being in peak physical shape like in my early twenties!

Amen to that. I abused my body in my 20s with booze and smokes.
Now, I hardly drink, I no longer smoke. And I spend more time in the gym and focusing on health than I ever did in my 20s
