Bidwill himself went to dinner with Smith?

I've never heard of him taking a hands-on role in the free agency process.

Who does he think he is? Arthur Blank? I've never heard of him doing that either. The image of dining with Bidwill and everyone having so much fun they lose track of time is surreal. Not how I picture Billy Bowtie.

Do you think they had ice cream together?

You gotta have dessert, right?

I would speculate that bidwill at least has lunch with all free agents that come in..Jr. and Sr..

C'mon. I know he's not Mr Congeniality, but if YOU had the chance to break bread with Emmitt, wouldn't you?

Who cares what they had, just so long as he went.

I saw Mr Bidwill talking to Emmit yesterday and it's seemed pretty friendly. Actually iswas MB, BB Snr, Mac & RG.

This was not for the cameras either, we were were not supposed to be there at that moment. We just went looking for a restroom up top and almost ran into the parting lovefest by the reception desk.

I was at most 2ft away and could here the conversation, so I politley headed out back away from them as this was not a public event.

So at the very least he was invlived in this part of the visit.

I have never actually talked to Mr. B but I have been in situations/places where he was in very close proximity. He struck me as a genuinely nice man. Very affable and personable....He just has an aversion to the media and making his charitable works known. And he does do alot of charities...
