Mr. Humble Green

[SmootSmack]

D. Green was awesome, simply awesome on the field and I will always be grateful for the great memories he brought me and my fellow Redskins fans on the field.

But as a person, as I've mentioned ad nauseum here, he left me less than impressed over the many times we worked with each other. He seems to have a constant chip on his shoulder and a need for constant validation. Now maybe that's the kind of mentality he had to have to make it from a 5 foot nothing high school walk on to NFL Hall of Famer, but it's very off putting nonetheless.

Maybe that's what it is with Darrell......He has a little man's complex.

I always admired his ability on the field, but never thought he did a very good job when it came to expressing himself. We always went to Carlsle Pa. when training camp was there, and I recall the first year he was there with the team and I sought his autograph, it turned out to be quite an ordeal. He is the epitimy of a company man.

he doesn't like giving out autographs, unless there are donations made to ONLY his charity.

That could be true, but it was in 83 [I think] when I first met him up in Carlisle, and that was long before he started his youth foundation here in DC.

I posted a while back but my dad met Green and kinda felt Green was an ass.
