I just wanted to give some props out to Paris who came to the tailgate site after the game and was kind enough to take time out from his family to come and talk to us fans.

He was very personable and answered some rather dicey questions with some flair and ease. He said absolutely nothing that woudl come back to haunt him even if some of the questions asked could put a guy into trouble for answering. He definitely kept things politically correct, but did it in such a way you wouldn't know it if you weren't listening for it.

He is an excellent speaker and was extremely nice and friendly with everyone. I'm sure he made Keith's night by getting into it and making Keith seem like the centre of attention for awhile.

Paris that was great of you to come over, not duck out of any of the questions, and just generally being a good sport with it all. Paris truly showed what a Superstar should be!!! :thup: :thup:
Now that I don't live in Quesnel do I need to change my handle??

Keith and Paris are indeed buds! :lol:

Huge kudos to Paris for sharing time with us, and showing (once again) how approachable CFL players are to the fans and the local community. :thup:

Well La dee da dee da ... 8) (and you know where I got that phrase from!!)

This was the first one I've been to that he was at (ok so I've only been to 1 other TG'er this year) and I thought he deserved the props for having done so. (Thus the thumbs up smilie you gave!!)

Gotta love the CFL and their stars! It sure makes it worth being a fan when you can interact with them in that way!

That's right. Paris should be thanking you for making an appearance.

He also did a walk through prior to the game much to Mr. Dick Harris's appreciation (BC Caucas Chairman and Member of Parliament for Cariboo-Prince George)....they got to shake hands!!!

That's because you get there late. I believe he usually stops by on his way in before I even get there.

Well he came after the game last time but normally he comes before the game, on his way into the stadium. If you weren't such a jet setter, you'd be there early enough to catch him.

:wink:
