Short snippet from Dev. Camp

So, when the scrimmage on Saturday was done, I headed over to Front Page for a post-scrimmage beer with some pals after some media time (where I stood around pretty good, watching the bags of my fellow bloggers and shamelessly listening in on conversations around me).

As many will know, the pace of the elevators at Ballston Commons can charitably be described as 'glacial'. Many of the participants of the Dev. camp were waiting with the rest of us, staring at the floor, the doors, the ceiling, whatever. I didn't recognize most of them, but Josh Godfrey and Eric Mestery were two I did.

The elevator comes, and the players file in, stacking their gear bags with the precision of engineers (and I have trouble with my laptop bag), and we all pretty much sit there, as the floors crawl by. We finally hit the designated floor, and I hold the door for everyone, as there's a crowd and a bunch of bags to go around. The players all file out after getting their bags, followed by the rest of the folks in the elevator.

Every player said thanks to me, while pretty much none of the 'civilian' passengers did. I don't mind, it's not a big deal (it's holding an elevator door, not heavy lifting), but I found it interesting that every player did.

Does this say anything other than the players had some manners? Likely not. Stuck in my head, though.
