I was on my way home from Nationals in Reno yesterday and grabbed one of the few seats left between two guys that had their heads down and obviously didn’t want anyone in the seat between them. Halfway through the flight after listening to their conversations I realized I was surrounded by retired pro football players that had just played a golf tourney in Reno. John Lynch was in front of me, Marshall Faulk was on my right and I’m pretty sure Jerry Rice was on my left, but he had his hat over his face sleeping most of the time and I couldn’t figure out why Jerry Rice would be flying to San Diego. There were more, but those are the only three I recognized. I didn’t say anything until we stood up to get off the plane. I introduced myself to Marshall and told him I was a huge Rams fan. He was kind of an asshat. He shook my hand, but kind of grunted and looked the other way. A little disappointing, but crazy to be sitting between two of the greatest football players of all time. Yeah, I'm a dork!!
