When the Rams were going to take on the Saints. He was sitting next to Randy Mueller then the GM for the Saints. For nearly 2 hours I listened to him in fascination as he picked Mueller's brain.
I was very impressed at how hard he was working to get info. Afterwards I again ran into him that same evening as we were staying in the same hotel. I brought up his convo with Mueller and that I was sitting behind him riveted.
He spent another 30 minutes talking with me about the Rams. Just a great conversation about football.
The guy was a football junkie. Sorry to see him go.
