Mike had a great little post that got a ton of comments.

Here’s a new story i experienced after my trip to NYC this weekend.

While at JFK i was in line a few people behind a very large, muscular bald headed man who looked familiar and then he turned and i recognized him. I lost him after going through security and figured oh well.

After arriving in Nashville i saw him at baggage claim so even though i didn’t see him on the plane he must have been on my flight.

People approached him steadily for pictures and autographs which he politely accommodated. Though one individual practically dry humped his leg trying to befriend him. I noticed that he had a tired look on his face and said to the man nice to meet you and checked his voicemail. i didn’t want to be the fan that asked him for an autograph or whatever so i snapped a quick picture and just waited for my bags.

As the bags came around one bag got stuck on something so i reached down to release the snag and i hear a voice say, “Thanks, let me get this out of your way. ” So i handled Eddie George’s luggage. We made some small talk as we waited for our other bags to arrive and he commented on being in NYC for the Heisman Trophy presentation. And that was good enough to cap off another trip to NYC.
