Hawk has said he gets recognized pretty often, but it's not always good enough to warrant a tweet.
"It happens actually more often than I write about, but it's usually not a really funny interaction," Hawk told Business Insider this year. "I think sometimes people, I assume, get excited, and they're trying to register it... so they'll just sort of say things without really giving them critical thought. I think that's usually what ends up happening where it's like 'you're, uh, T-T-Tom Brady!'"
