That's got "Boston area man" all over it. Hilarious.

Edit: I'd imagine most people wouldn't know what half of the league execs looked like if they ran into them on the street, besides the Burkies of the world.

Is it bad that I'm sitting here watching this, that a part of me is going "This has to be staged?"

I feel like there are so many videos like that out there, where people "randomly stumble upon X person, AND WE HAD NO IDEA THEY WERE THIS PERSON."

Still funny though.

Thread title absolutely delivers!

That was the best video I have seen in a long, long, time.

To be honest I thought the same thing watching that

Then, the part of me the loves my life decided to roll with it and just assume that it isn’t, because it’s way more fun that way.

I’m trying to be less cynical in general haha

The Jim Halpert look-to-the-camera sealed it for me.

I mean...I think he was CLEARLY trolling the guy...I would.

Its no 'Boston Area Man' but its still damned hilarious seeing as he's the GM of the Blackhawks, in town for the Draft, holding the #1 pick.

It just gets funnier and funnier the more I watch it.

Granted, in the interviewer guy's defence I couldnt pick that guy out of a lineup, especially not dressed like that.

I wonder if the interviewer is going to watch the Draft and see Davidson walk up to the podium and crap bricks,

"And with the First Overall selection the Chicago Blackhawks select...."

Too funny. I wouldn't have pegged him as an NHL GM. Honestly had no idea that the Blackhawks GM was a younger guy.

Yeah, we're definitely a generation removed from Glen Sather chomping on a cuban puro 24/7

You can tell he was a little irritated with that last answer.

It would have been perfect if he winked at the camera in his last answer.

The fact he's only 34 and not dressed like your typical high end executive with a 7 figure salary adds to the believability of this. The clothes could obviously be by design though.

Pretty hilarious though. Would have like a few tongue in cheek digs at the Hawks and/or Preds organizations though. Would have been funny to see how far he could have pushed it before the interviewer caught on.
