I was one when the Chiefs won the SB. Listening to these stories for a 30 year old is probably like me listening to my uncles' Chiefs stories. I've heard about the Miami playoff game and Len Dawson getting speared by Ted Hendricks so many times I feel like I watched it live.

Kinda sucks. It's why I've never really had an interest in meeting Ozzie Smith. That way, as far as I'll ever know, my childhood hero was a class-act and all around boy scout. But for many folks that grew up idolizing George Brett, meeting their hero didn't leave them with warm and fuzzies. I know he was good and shitcanned when I met him and pretty much an obnoxious buffoon. When I told my folks about it, they both said they'd met him a few years earlier and it was the same story - though they think he was sober, just an asshole. That said - you couldn't find a better guy to emulate between the lines. Brett was the perfect ballplayer, IMO.

Interestingly, a Miami playoff game is my most painful sports memory as well. The one with the phantom holding call and Nick Lowery's kick falling a yard short.

I met Brett once and he was a nice guy but everyone I've ever talked to or heard from other than that has said he's an ass. If I caught him on a good day then I'm glad I have that memory.
I've met Frank White twice and he talked to me like we were old friends both times. The first time I even interrupted him during a conversation with friends and asked to take his picture and he kindly obliged. Then I apologized for interrupting and he said it wasn't a problem and thanked me for coming to the game. Frank was before that and has always been my favorite athelete.

For the third time tonight.... I thought we were friends. But fine go off and have your damn frozen treat without me. I don't care. I'm not sensitive.
