38. "Been a privilege to watch him play and he was great with the fans" In response to In response to 0
I dunno about him personally and of course he almost lost his career to a bid but what I do know is that 1) he was a fucking BEAST on the field and 2) he was very personable and giving of his time with the fans.
I stopped by his restaurant (good ass cornbread, BTW) a couple times when he was doing his radio show. Every time he would have a meet and greet with fans, signing stuff and shooting the shit with them. He was also doing his show so it was kind of a long stop for him, but he never looked rushed. He respected the fans' time and, in turn, they respected his. I never saw anybody linger. There were some clear regulars, too, people that came every week or whenever they could. Outside of Unitas, I don't think there is a bigger name in Baltimore football. That is quite an accomplishment given what the Colts achieved there, for Lewis and also Ed Reed to get that same kind of respect as legends in their own time.
And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
