Jermichael Finley

As many of you may have realized I've been gone from APC for a couple weeks w/ the exception of a couple posts when I was able to get some time on my parents computer.   I was in GB visiting family/friends for the past 2 weeks.  Was great being in GB for the SB win.   I lived there when they won in 97, but moved and lived in AZ when they lost in 98.  Just returned yesterday and while boarding the plain from Mil to Phx, I saw J-Mike sitting in 1st class, of course.  While boarding, I recognize Finley and mentioned I was a fan of his and that I bought his jersey last week!  Did the fist bump thing and told him that I was expecting an All Pro season from him this year.  To which he said...  That make both of us. 

After the flight landed I saw him again at the baggage claim and asked how his knee was doing.  Said his knee is doing well and its strong and he's getting in shape for the upcoming season, prior to the OTA's (assuming there are any).  He mentioned he was in Phx training at one of the facilities that caters to professional athelets.  I believe he's doing so at API (Athletes Performance Institute).  Before my luggage got there I reiterated that I was expecting an All Pro season and he said he's got it taken care of!!  He was pretty willing to talk and as he had conversations w/ a couple others too...  Tho as everyone knows he is extremely confident and maybe a bit over-confident/cocky.  Overall he kept to himself and talked to the people that approached him.

Just thought I would share my brief conversation w/ him...  I really did order his #88 white jersey and a Matthews #52 home jersey the week prior.  Been doin pretty well w/ my jersey purchases.  Got my Rodgers jersey in 08 and he went on to become a Pro Bowl/Championship QB, Matthews was my next purchase anyway since I needed a Defensive standout and since the price was only $20 for the jersey's I decided to get 2 of them and chose Finley over Jennings!
