Great story.
I really enjoyed:
"I once got to take a trip to a Chargers game with mom. We rode out on the team plane. I remember Al Saunders standing up for most of the flight. Walking up and down the aisles talking football with people and sharing stories. If there is a nicer person in the NFL, I don’t know who it is. Carl may have been the King and Vermeil the Lord of all things Chiefs in those days. But Al was the mayor. I also remember Eric Warfield sticking out like a sore thumb. While the other players were treating this as a business trip, Eric was decked out in his best designs from the 2.7 catalog and making a loud nuisance of himself. The guy wanted to be the center of attention for all the wrong reasons. I knew at that moment he would never reach his vast potential."
