BuffaloBaumer Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Fortunate enough to have had quite the seat partner on flight to NYC this morning. I told him 2 things football related.....1 thanks for the best sports memories of my life...2 his HOF speech left a lasting impression on me. After i said 1, he said, yup.....we had a lot of fun in those days...with quite the smirk. He even offered his biz card to do some work with him. Thank goodness i changed my flight...there are no accidents! 25 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royale with Cheese Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Jim Kelly once invited me in his RV when I was 13 years old. He was leaving the stadium, a whole crowd recognizes him and gathers around. He's walking and signing autographs. He hands me back my card but the crowd is tight and the card gets knocked out....never found it. Jim's brother sees me upset, asked what happened, I told him...he walks in to talk to Jim. RV door opens up, I'm invited in. Jim walks up to me, takes my hat off my head, signs in, pats me on the back and I walk out the RV. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
