Funny story, was fortunate enough to score Legends seating for XLIV - Saints/Colts. This the are of luxury boxes a lot to all NFL team. Access totally restricted. So I buy my wife a commemorative football for autographs since we are in the actual Legends box and knew players and VIP's would be in and out all game... Don Shula, Goodell, Bradshaw etc...Next door was Dolphins box. So I would point people out and she would go ask them to sign the ball knowing a pretty blond would get better results than I... That was the key!
So in Dolphins box Was Dwight Stephenson, Chris Brown, Justin Timberlake... First two signed np, Justin nope - he was trying to be under radar.. sunglasses on in the box and all..
Other people were doing same and folks would announce who was out in the hallway...so we would head on out and try to find them and she would get the autos...
Anyway we end up outside the Steelers box where a half dozen players were signing... Franco Harris, James Harrison and a few others who escape me now... So while the wife is flirting it up for autos I end up chatting with a current Steeler player at the time.. Unrecognizable to me I am trying to figure him out..
Thought for sure was James Farrior… At some point I must have said his name and he gives me a funny look... I'm not James he says and laughs and then quizzes me... says who is the blond having sign the ball... I look and say oh shit sorry that's James Farrior… So who am I he says.... Stumped I say well you not Polomalu he laughs say no but also says can't sign your ball then... Turns out was Keyaron Fox a sub linebacker....
