Re: Who's the coolest that you met??
I've met several, but here are my favorites...When Sam Huff was playing for the Redskins, I was shopping in a grocery store and I saw Sam in the checkout line. I waved and said (like an idiot), "Hey, Sam...I went to WVU, too!" I was too excited to think of anything else to say. He smiled and answered in a very friendly tone. Of course I don't remember what he said because I was too thrilled to have met him.
Then several years ago when Joe Jacoby was playing, I had my wife and kids out at Cox's Farm. It's a place where you take your kids to get a taste of farm life, to feed the animals, and to buy pumpkins, jellies, pies, etc. Joe Jacoby had his family there, too, and no one was pestering them...except me. I went up to him and told him how much I loved the Redskins, and how well I thought they were playing. He thanked me, and I left before I made a bigger pest out of myself. But I was thrilled to have this brief encounter with a great player.
