My little Army brat niece, Paris, has been streaming the games overseas. Carwell Gardener, RB for the Buffalo Bills gave her a football once upon a time at a Bills practice during the Jim Kelly Era when she was only 4 years old. Kelly threw the Football to Gardener coming out of the backfield and as often customary ,Gardener dropped the ball. It rolled up to Paris, my little niece and my Dad told her to throw the ball back to him. She kind of pushed the ball forward with both hands and it rolled up to Carwells feet. The big giant of a man walked up to Paris, ruffled her hair and handed her the football, and another Bills fan for life was made.
My Dad has since passed, but it was one of his fondest memories and he loved to tell the story. I have the football here in PA and I'm going to try to track down Carwell and see If he would mind signing her football. If anyone could assist me in getting in contact with him PM me and it would be very much appreciated. Paris Lynn is E4 Specialist Combat medic in the military/Army stationed in Germany. Once the Football is signed I want to send it to my little Army brat where she is stationed.
God Bless the men and woman who serve our Country and GO BILLS!!!
