Darrell Green Appearance Tonight

[Sammy Baugh Fan]

I met DG once and don't care to ever again. I was embarrassed for my son to see a guy he respected as part of the Redskins be so rude and self serving.

We were PAID and last in line when his "time ran out" just before us. I had to chase him down begging and when he did stop and sign he talked down to me and my son for bugging him.

~spits at DG

I guess I could brag I "chased down DG"!
Wish I would have tackeled him instead of getting a worthless autograph.

You think maybe the guy gets mobbed every time he goes out and can't always put on the smiley face to make you happy? And those complaining because he dodesn't do other charities. I would bet he gets asked to do ALOT of charity work. If he did it all he wouldn't have a life other than that. He does his charity nd that's it. I see no problem with it.

The only time I ever met him when way back when around '90. We were selling stuff for our school fundraiser and were in his neighborhood. We were 12 and totally crazy when he answered the door. We ended up asking him to show us how fast he was. He guy freaking got out in the middle of the street and sprinted down the road for us and then signed autographs. AT HIS HOUSE. The one place where he should be able to tell stupid fans to eff off he didn't and was super nice.

Look we all have mixed opinions about him off the field, only thing I really want people to do, is aknowledge that he COULD be not the best guy off the field. That is it.

People just need to realize just bc someone is/was a Redskin doesnt mean they are a god, and you cant be critical.

and just because hes not to your liking off the field, that makes him an asshole?? come on now. grow up

I regret having been one of the first, if not the very first, here to say that DG isn't necessarily all he's cracked up to be. Phenomenal player and I don't question his integrity or what he's done for the community. But he has a lot of characteristics that even his teammates didn't care for. You don't need to make others look bad to look good yourself, and you can allow others to have their moment in the spotlight every now and then. Those were concepts that didn't seem to be entirely clear to Green. Or at least it wasn't when he was playing.

But bottom line is everyone has different impressions of the people they meet, you can't tell someone they're wrong for how they feel about someone when they met that person.
