Dick Vermiel gave the keynote adress at the "University of Hawaii 100 Year Anniversary Gala" and I was lucky enough to attend last night at the low low price of $300 a seat. Luckily my Uncle is the Mayor and he got my dad and I in on his prominence.

Miyamoto a co owner of some sort to the Bengals frachise was there. He joked about Chad Ocho Cinco and Rodger Goodell (aka God) a lot and kept taking stabs at Coach Vermiels "stretchy pants" making mutiple refrences to the movie "Nacho Libre." In response Vermiel simply said "I didn't know this was going to be a roast!" Then went on to say how tough it was to get here from Philadelphia.

I asked coach Vermiel what he thought of the Pioli regime ad he laughed, I don't think he was paying attention to me. The man could not stop talking about the Rams and Kurt Warner, I don't blame him though he was wearing that fat super bowl ring. He bantered about Tony Gonzalez and how well the Chiefs did in his third year but that's about it

I wanted to ask for a picture but it was pretty formal and I didn't want peopleto believe my uncle brought a fan instead of a gentleman, still I was way bummed, I was hoping to catch him outside the gala afterward but he left shortly after his speech. Still it was pretty cool.
