[QUOTE="weeds, post: 903537, member: 39"] I absolutely loved Ray Nitschke. Had I met him earlier (pre-Jackie) maybe not so much - story went that in Ray's rookie year, or 2nd, after a night of drinking (heavily) he was hauled in for D&D as he was caught taking a leak in beautiful downtown Green Bay. My kinda guy - you know, if it doesn't pay its rent, it's gotta get out. :sneaky: So, I got to attend his funeral. Might be considered gauche, but a friend of mine was a reporter for one of the Green Bay TV stations at the time asked me along with her because my niece told her that I was a huge fan of the man .. so there I was, a near 40-year-old man, CRASHING a funeral. Still though, I'd do it again. The guy was such a gentleman. PoppaSan, ask your wife if she remembers (sorry, I don't want to use his real name on a forum) a biology teacher that we affectionately named Loof the Goof. He was a state champion free weights lifter and coached the lifting team at school ... and was built like a brick church - and a fantastic guy. The guy bore a striking resemblance to Nitschke and I remember him showing me a picture of Nitschke and him standing side-by-side, it was kind of funny and remarkable at the same time. [/QUOTE]
