LONDON — OK, so it’s not such a big deal when Andy, Erik and I do our various media gigs. We’re obviously used to the radio and TV stuff at this point, but every once in a while we get some pretty cool opportunities — and the London trip offered a couple.

First, on Friday Andy and I were asked to do a quick interview on the BBC. Andy handled his perfectly but the security made us leave the practice area at the Brit Oval before I got my chance. So Andy appeared on the BBC that night and I never got my chance.

But game day is here and I just went through a pretty hectic hour that was both exciting and more than a little surreal. We did a live show for “Patriots All Access” outside Wembley Stadium. I was on with the host, Steve Burton, and as we were finishing up Commissioner Roger Goodell made his way to our filming area. Surrounded by a host of security personnel, Goodell walked right behind me, put his hand on my shoulder, and then backed away while we finished. The guy is the commissioner of the National freakin’ Football League and he’s waiting for PFW to finish.

Wow.

But things got even more strange from there. Owner Robert Kraft was scheduled to go on after Goodell, but he had a hard time locating our filming area. So they asked me to rejoin Burton and fill the time since the show was live and we couldn’t wait. Steve and I went back and forth a bit and then I could hear a ruckus behind me once again — this time for Kraft.

Like any good employee I quickly turned to my boss, took my mic off and handed it to him. Like a real pro Mr. Kraft took it from there and finished the show — slapping fives with some young fans who were watching close by.

Next time we start complaining about our lot in life, make sure you remind us how cool this stuff really is.
