How many times did we hear stories about Tony G being the first out on the practice field. Staying late to run routes and shag balls out of a machine? Spend the off season in the gym trying to get bigger and faster? Did he not play hard every game? Did it not seem at times that Tony G was the only one that cared about winning on some teams? Some of you guys are not remembering his attitude and work ethic correctly.
Like I said I was around Tony G for years. We were not best friends or anything like that but I was around enough that if I walked up to him down in ATL, he would know my name. I saw him in many fan interactions where everyone wanted his autograph or time. Mainly this was charity work so maybe he was on his P's and Q's. But, I never once saw Tony G be rude to a fan, not once. Just what I witnessed.
