[QUOTE="trippster, post: 83244, member: 433"] Let me tell you all a little story about Mike Sherman and the kind of guy he is.... The day before we lost to the Vikings in the playoffs ending the 2004 season, I was up in Green Bay with a little boy who was dying of cancer. The Packer organization and Brett Favre were gracious enough to host Christopher for the day. While the Packer were doing their pregame walk through (highly secret as they go through some of the plays that are to be called the next day) We took a tour through the locker room. The team was on the field in the stadium and it was about 20 degrees. After we toured the facilities down stairs, we were ushered up into one of the suites and wathced the end of the practice. As practice ended, Sherman brought the whole team to the center of the field (on the "G") and gave them a final pep talk before releasing them to the warmth of the locker room. But before he let them go, he had the ENTIRE TEAM turn to us in the suite and wave to us. We then walked down to the locker room and lunch room where we first met coach Sherman. He knelt down next to Christopher and talked with him for about five minutes. He then took his lunch and went back up to his office so that he could have a working lunch. That was the kind of guy Mike Sherman was. In the midst of preparing for a huge game, he never lost sight of his priorities....people. For that I will always be a fan of him. [/QUOTE]
