Shoutout to Derrick Johnson
 

Last night, my son and a few of his friends went trick or treating in a nice area of Lee's Summit... turns out that Derrick Johnson lives up in that area.

He gave out autographed football cards to the kids. My son got a 2006 football DJ football card from him and a high-five.

My son was soooooo excited about this. He is 12 now and REALLY starting to understand football.

You hear about athletes doing douchey things... so I wanted to share this cool story. It made my son and his friends night.

Your son's choice to be a fan. Hope he gets a clue.

That's cool

:evil:

That's awesome.

DJ seems like a good guy. I remember hearing years ago that he really got his priorities straight and has become a leader on this team. I enjoyed hearing him on the Jim Rome Show yesterday also.

"Thanks Mr.Johnson. Please win this weekend and then thunder**** Manning when you play him."

Did he have off-the-field problems coming out of college or something? I don't remember.

Nice :clap:

DJ has become one of my favorite Chiefs over the last few years. On and off the field, he's one of the good guys.

I don't think it was ever a legal problem or anything related to substance abuse, but I had read things about his heavy drinking that he took care of.

You should have seen his excitement over it, man. He was pouring over his stats on the card. Totally beside himself with joy. :thumb:

Even though he seemed to be on the "Alex Gordon development timeline," he's really come along. Proud to have a guy like that on the team I root for.

A coworker was telling me that they used to live in the same neighborhood as Tony G back in the day and that there were 2 lines to his house...one for autographs and one for kids that actually wanted candy. I thought that was funny, lol.

Was October doing the candy line?

If so, I'd totally be in that one.

What an asshole.

The guy is driving down the value of every autograph that I put my hard earned money down for by giving them away.

I know he's a Longhorn and all, but surely at some point someone explained supply and demand curves to him. Thanks a lot - dick.
