I met Brent Jones when I attended a retirement ceremony at a local high school. I still have his autograph.
Two actually.
First the good. Bowlero in Milpitas had a grand opening and they had Jerry Rice host the event. Happened to be my birthday too lmao. There was free food and he took a picture with almost everyone.
Second was Kaepernick and it wasn’t as good. Back in like summer 2013, I was in Valley Fair walking inside Shiekh (RIP) which was next to American Eagle. While walking there I was 4-5 tall guys walking at the same time as me and I was confused as to why this 1 guy was wearing a short sleeve hoodie in the summer. While in the store I felt like I recognized his face. I saw his tattoos and I’m like wait… this is Colin Kaepernick. I Googled his tattoos on my phone and it matched to his. At this point I’m starstruck and I asked one of his friends if his homie was Kaepernick. He laughed and said no. Right after they walked really fast out of the store. I talked to the manager of the store and he said he thought it was Kaepernick too. 10 minutes later he had 2 mall security guards walking with him but no one approached him.
Met Jerry Rice by complete chance in Las Vegas, seriously the coolest dude ever. Also met Tom Rathman. Niners are cool, man.
I met a few members of the 1980’s teams at different celebrity events back in the day. But it was never anything more than the autograph line at those events.
Someone I grew up with had a cousin who played for the Niners for a year or two (I believe he was a kicker). I might have met him at some point but don’t remember for sure. Grew up in a smallish town with a lot of cross connections, so it’s possible.
Met Navarro Bowman at Limon in SF. It was Mother’s Day so I didn’t ask for an autograph or pics just said what’s up and kept it pushin. Cool dude, had a dope blacked out Rolls Royce parked in front.
