NS is a POS.... he came in the bar I worked at a few times this past summer.

Multiple no tips on big tabs. Our waitresses wanted to kill him.

He is a POS - He lived out by me in Blue Springs, till he walked away from his 1.2M house which sold at auction last year for about 460K.

I've had 3 interactions with the guy over the years and all 3 times he was a total douchebag each time.

The first was on a flight to New Orleans back in his playing days. He came on board in a dashiki with the matching hat. He was sitting in first and I was in the first row of coach. He was talking on his cell phone when the flight attendent told him he'd need to turn it off as we were getting ready to pull away from the gate. He dropped the "do you know who I am?" line on her and kept right on going for a few more seconds before finally finishing his call.

The second was at the annual easter egg hunt they have in Blue Springs. My two youngest sons were hunting eggs and my oldest (he was 12 or so at the time and a huge Chiefs fan) recognozed Smith and said he wanted to say hi to him. We walked over towards him and he puts his hand up before we're within 10' and says - "uh uh, I'm with my family" - My son was just going to say hi, no autographs- just wanted to hello to a Chief. In fairness, Smith was actually there with his family - so at least he wasn't lying.

The last time was a couple years ago at Dick's Sporting Goods in Independence. He was there with his teen age son (think it was his son anyway). As usual Dick's only had one kid working back there and about 5 customers (including me) waiting when he comes in. A few minutes later Neil has a shoe and as the kid is walking out carrying two boxes for other customers blocks him and says he needs a pair to try on. The kid drops the boxes on a bench and proceeds to go looking for Neil. He turns around and notices several of us looking at this and gives a shit eating look like "what you gonna do?" at everybody.

It's no surprise everything he's done from arena football to that cajun place he owned in JoCo has been a failure.

**** him.
