Not sure why, but always have had an urge to sneak into a sporting event…

And crossed it off the bucket list this year lol with the Cowboys vs. Jets (2023)

To give some back story to this…

I was the sickest I had ever been on the Thursday before the game… Puked like 30 times.



Lost 15 pounds. Was crazy experience in itself...

But had an event for one of my companies in Jackson Hole that I was supposed to be at Thursday - Sunday…

I also had an event in Dallas for a different company I am partnered with from Saturday - Monday…



Drove up Friday afternoon to Jackson Hole.



Had to speak in front of 50 + people as well at Jackson on Saturday night so I was prepping for the entire 5-hour drive…

Jackson was dope, and so beautiful. Rafted the river, was fun.

My speech on Saturday went great too… Said what I wanted to say, my voice was gone from throwing up, but made for a good story entry.

Talked about my story, the “bad” part of my life, and how I had to overcome that with some miracles on the way. 

Was good to be vulnerable…

Speech, check! Now for the first time I could allow my brain to think about Dallas (nervous for speech) and if I could make it down for the event.



That Sunday, we partnered with Dez Bryant to do a tailgate for the home opener, and I had to make it due to experience and content.

Found a flight at 8:00 AM from SLC to Dallas - Booked.

Started to drive back down to SLC around midnight, was able to stop at home, take a quick nap, say what’s up to wife and kids... Thank you for Delta Priority and my willingness to show up at the airport 15 minutes before boarding 🤣.

Unreal tired too, and should not have driven at night. The flight was exhausting too, everything caught up to me from not sleeping for a few nights and all that was going on during the flight.

I made it to the event, and had some drama, all good though… (Side note on the drama: it’s funny when celebrities start to hate you for no reason vs a nobody hating on you lol it hurts a bit) — now to sneaking into the game (backstory was important I think 😂)

Our event ended… “Oh shit, there is still the game…” Made a joke to a few of my friends “watch us sneak into the game”…



Look for tickets, NOTHING… The game just started I was shocked.



Walked with friends to see if there were scalpers… “No scalpers allowed”… Well, most people give up here… NO CHANCE.


There were no scalpers or tickets anywhere… BUT, there was a guy that was chilling out front as if he was homeless… I say “Bro, you got tickets on you” and he perks up with a weird look like “How do I know you…”



He goes … “Bro, be quiet man... Let’s go” and motions for us to follow him closer to the stadium…



Links up with another dude that is doing the same thing… I start to see what they are doing, like secret homeless ticket scalpers, dope… They come back, “Alright man, we can get you in… 60 each, standing room.”

“DONE… How do I pay for the tickets...”



He goes… “No tickets, go to gate G, my guy will let you in...”


At this point in my life, I am pretty much at the “fuck it” stage so was like “Yeah let’s do it, but friends go first, they get in, I’ll pay...”


They go ahead, get through first security to the point where I can’t see them anymore, so I think, sweet, we are good.



Pay him through Zelle, and that was a whole other story…

I paid him 180 and the dude loses his shit claiming I need to pay him 240 because of “Biden and his new tax laws...” That is where my exhaustion kicked in and I snapped and called him some things probably shouldn’t have said and his buddy had to calm it down and didn’t pay him anymore.

I start going to the gate… I will attach a video below…



I get through first security but then I see my two buddies just stopped at the second gate being questioned by a few employees…



Nothing is stopping me from getting into this game… So I go “I got your tickets boys, let’s go!” And head to gate G… (Mo Fo’s went to gate H… I have no idea why…😆)

I go to the ticket first of the two ticket dudes in G… “Yo bro, your guy told us you’d let us in” and walk right in… I then motion for my friends to follow and walk in — he goes “wo, wo, wo, no, let’s see your tickets”



A few other employees looking around now, again, not a ton of people, game had already started…



DAMN, I picked the wrong one… So I hurry and just walk to the other guy, and say “Yo dude, your guy just sent us, and the dude NO SHIT, goes “Hold your phone out like you have a ticket” and proceeds to MAKE A BEEP SOUND OUT OF HIS MOUTH…

I legit about lost my mind trying not to laugh... Two buddies follow soon after… “BEEP” “BEEP”


It wasn’t pretty… But hey, WE WERE IN.



It was packed in there, couldn’t even see much of the game, so I still wonder how many people they got in that day.



Crossed off my bucket list though sneaking into a professional sporting event so that is a win, and the story made for one hell of the experience.



Was supposed to fly out Monday afternoon but changed flight and got out of Dallas that night to see the fam quicker…



On the flight home, sat next to a father of former BYU and current NFL QB that had just played Dallas, that was an experience in itself too… Dude is easy to unlike to say the least lol but was good experience.



And that is the story of the one, and only time, that I will be sneaking into a sporting event.
