I met Mr. Talley when at a Golf event in Orlando.
We sat at last two stools at the bar the bar for 45 minutes - he was sharing stories with me and I was totally in awe. As I left - I felt I was in Heaven meeting one of my football idols from the Great Teams I watched weekly and read about daily.
His character was a both Genuine and humble. He even had shared his cell# and I would text him for a couple years after we met (I did not over do it - just a funny text, a picture of the Home crowd, and recently when Andre made the Hall. He would always reply in a great way. I lost my phone in April and losing Pictures on the phone was awful-and it also stung losing the cell # of #56. ( I know I should have backed it up -never thought I'd lose it) but my point is - you hear how sometimes Star Players are awful in person - Mr. Talley was Awesome!
