Some of the best reactions I got while I was conducting interviews for today’s cover story, “The Tailgate is Now in Session,” were when I asked lawyers the question, “How is tailgating like preparing for a case?”

I received some befuddled looks, but I did receive some great answers. Take Rob Erdman of Webb & Blitz LLC, who said:

Preparation is key. You don’t want to get caught with your pants down and not have enough food at the tailgate. Just like you want to have the right case ready for your arguments.

Below is a video of some other responses from lawyers. Have any better ones?

Also, I tried to get to as many lawyer-led tailgates as I could, but I know I missed some. Do you feel that there are others that deserve recognition?
