I LOVED watching him play when i was a kid, and got to meet him in the late 1980's. I got to sit with him, and talk over the "old days". He asked me, "Hey AL, have you ever tried on a SUPER BOWL ring?" I said NO SIR! And he handed me his Super Bowl ONE ring! (It fit on TWO of my fingers!) We talked, and i got a picture, and some football cards autographed by him.I also have met Bart Starr (another CLASS ACT!)Jerry Kramer and Fuzzy Thurston also treated me VERY nice. It seems like alot of the old players (not all, but alot) take more time with the fans then todays players do. They seem to have more appreciation for the fans. Now, last year at Fan Fest I got to try on a Super Bowl 31 ring.......so i only need to try on one from SB 2 to complete the set!As far as current players, of course Favre has to be there, as well as Edgar Bennett. He was one that ALWAYS took time for the fans. Donald Driver is that way too.Leroy Butler almost ran me over once, so i wasn't too thrilled with the way he ignored me (and almost KILLED me!)</blockquote>
