Presidential duty? What does your dad do? Is he in the Secret Service?

I got Theismann and Riggins autographs years ago on separate occasions. Theismann was pretty cool, he was watching his son Joey play football (he was still in his cast and crutches). Riggins was a prick from what I remember. He was watching his son play baseball at Wakefield Park I believe. He was real short with the kids, and it wasn't what I expected at all.

I've only met a handful of players but the coolest I have met is Marcus Washington. He was in Dulles Mall this summer in Sterling VA and he just happened to be eating lunch in the same place same time as me. I had a Skins jersey on and he noticed it and asked if I was a fan. I said yes, talked with him a little bit got a picture and was off. Great guy.

See... even though I have to ask myself "who???" when you say Dallas Hickman... I think those stories are cooler than the card shows (even though I like the card shows)

i have met the Barber boys each, Ronde is a awesome dude real down to earth, Tiki liked the spot light more than his brother, I grew up in Roanoke and they played football there. But i have Joe Gibbs autograph, Art Monks and some others.

art monk. worked on his stove back in 97. really nice guy. signed several autographs for me...but i had to knock a little something off the bill for him. LOL.

I think I've told these stories before....but John Riggins gave my brother a ride on his shoulders. Another time, Dexter Manley's wife was giving birth at the same time I was being born, and in the same hospital. He gave my dad his autograph and said "I hope your wife's ok"...classic Dexter...I wonder if he just signed with a big X

Clinton Portis

[SFREDSKIN]

Back in 1981, Neal Olkewicz, he was bartending at a bar in Georgetown and I asked to write "Fuck the Cowboys" and sign it. He complied and I still have it somewhere in storage around my house.

Wow... this is an old thread that found new life

Stephen Davis was the coolest Redskin that I ever got a chance to meet.

When Jay Schroeder was third string (or maybe 4th, I was 10 or 11) he was jogging by my school one Saturday while a group of us were playing football. He asked if he could QB for us and none of us realized who it was. Until he told a friend of mine to "go deep". Deep for a 10 year old is much different than for a budding NFL QB. I don't know how far he threw it but it seemed like a mile to us. I know Schroeder got a bad rep here but it was so cool having him throw it around with a bunch of kids. I still didn't believe him when he said that he'd be playing for the Skins(most of us had Skins shirts on). But later I saw him on TV and recognized him. It's the only time I got bruises from just catching balls.
Second coolest:
I was in a bar in Centreville at 11 am one Tuesday in December right after I turned 21. My buddies and I were drinking and arguing football. In my altered state of mind I was arguing that Riggo was better than any back in the league at the time (1995). John Riggins overheard us and told my friends that he agreed with me and bought me a beer. Then he shot the breeze with us for a little bit until the guy he was waiting for got there and the two went into the restaurant area.
Funniest:
Georgetown Leather in the mid-80's. My father (not a football fan) bumped into a rather large man and dropped his bag. The man apologized even though it was my father's fault and picked up the bag for him. My father was pretty rude to him and once outside I told him, "Dad, that was Dexter Manley."
"The guy who knocked out the Cowboys QB? Damn, probably should've been nicer, huh?"

Ken Harvey was very cool to talk too, super nice guy. Gary Clark and Ricky Sanders were fun. Brian Mitchell was hilarous. Darrell Green was nice. As a matter of fact all of them were nice. Patrick Ramsey, Fred Smoot, Chris Cooley, Randy Thomas, Joe Gibbs, Chris Samuels, Ray Brown, Mark Mosley, Don Warren, Pat Fischer was awesome, I know Im missing a few, but Id have to say the coolest was Portis. I was leaving training camp last year and stopped to get gas at a place not far from camp. I walk in and theirs Portis in the candy isle with a pack of twinkies in one hand and a box of condoms in the other! It was a funny sight. We started talking while in line and all the way out to his truck, just a super cool guy. I ask him to autograph my hat, he says sure, as hes getting in his truck so I hand him the hat and look in the passenger side and their is Santana Moss. He was pretty quite, but nice. Met Portis their after another practice, chatted again and he took a great pic with my son. I used to see Bruce Smith out at alot of bars down in Va Bch before he was a Redskin, by most accounts a real prick. Oh yeah, Ladell Betts and Mike Sellers were awesome as well. Sellers is a big dude! His chest is as big from front to back as it is from side to side, seriously!

See.. so far ya have to give it to the story about Jay. Tough to out cool an NFL QB (OK, let's not get into that topic any further)... who took the time to play ball with neighborhood kids.
