I told my buddy that I'll be spending my afternoon watching football with my friend, Bram.
"Who's Bram?" he asked.
"Oh, Bram Weinstein," I said. "He works for ESPN. Actually, he has his own show on ESPN2 every night at 6:00. The Beat. And he's hosted Sports Center and done the updates on the Mike and Mike Show. And other stuff, too. College football. Lots of stuff."
"You're watching the game with an ESPN Sports Center host?" my friend asked, his voice filled with awe and reverence. "A guy who works on-air for ESPN?"
"Yeah," I said. "I guess. But it's just Bram."
It's remarkable how the celebrity luster fades once you actually get to know a person.
