    Met CJ Ham and Ed Ingram on back to back weekends about a month back, hadn’t met a Vikes player in my entire life up until that point. CJ is the nicest guy ever.

    Met Bob Lurtsema at a scouts event in the 80s - he gave me a dollar.

    Met Fran Tarkenton as well, he just briefly acknowledged me and went back to staring at my mom’s boobs.

    I was lucky enough to sit behind the visitor bench at a Wolves game in 92 or 94. Halfway thru the 1st quarter, Chris Doleman, Darren Nelson and one other I forget, sat right next to us. Funny part, it was a Sunday and they just got done playing so it was a never ending stream of food coming their way. Cool dudes
