The people he wasn't nice to were 3 little kids who had his jersey on at training camp. Vermeil was out mingling with fans. Roaf was out, Trent Green was out signing. Then there was Tony, who couldn't be bothered with a group of little kids that he had to yell at them that he wouldn't give them an autograph. Sorry, but he's a dick.

That's pretty shitty, he could've done that. It's different for older fans that probably would sell his autograph anyway!

I don't care if athletes don't sign for adults. However, when you don't sign for a kid, that's ****ing bullshit.

Agreed, how the hell can you not take a few min for some kids

OTOH, I've never heard anything positive about George Brett, either. I've heard everything from mean to obnoxious to stinky.

I guess it doesn't really matter, though, as long as they play well. At least George didn't end his career with the ****ing Braves.

Most of the bad stuff I heard about Brett was from when he was still playing.

I always heard he was a pretty cool to other guys who were out partying, but a lot of single women in KC weren't too fond of him...

the next morning.

What? No way. I am a 5'8 white boy, and DT treated me like an old friend, had me over to his house a few times. Spent Halloween at his house one year, everytime there was a kid at the door he would go spend time and give the kid candy and an autographed football card or sign when someone brought a football or whatever in their costumes. From everything I saw, he truly loved helping people.

My sister was good friends with Will Shields wife and actually lived and nannied for them for about 2 years. She went to the PB with them one year and hung out with them and their friends all the time. She still talks to his wife all the time. They met while his wife was going to grad classes in KC and my sister was in some of the same classes.

Anyway, she met and was around DT many times and is totally convinced he was a 1st class asshole.

Maybe he had multiple personalities.

There was also the hot microphone incident where the studio audience at some local talk show heard him bitch and moan about having to make nice with the little people. Oops.
