danbee Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 This past weekend I was at Arenabowl XIX in Las Vegas. As I was returning to my seat after getting a beer, I spotted Danny White the head coach of the Utah Arena league team and former Cowboys QB as you all know. Decked out in my Redskins Hat and Jersey I said Danny it's going to kill me to do this but I would like to shake your hand. He gladly put it out there and as I was shaking his hand I said, you have to admit Dexter Manley used to get you good (edited for ES purposes) he laughed and said yes he did. I hate to admit it but Danny White was cool guy to meet. Any former Cowboy willing to shake hands with and take crap from a drunk Redskins fan can't be all that bad.

It didn't seem like he did anything wrong. It sounded more like some harmless ribbing from Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atloldskin Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 I have met Roger Staubach. I told him I hated him growing up being a diehard Redskin fan, but that I always respected him and certainly feared him with 2:00 minutes to play. I asked him who was the greatest athlete he had ever played with? He reminded me that he was a fair athlete himself--hitting over .300 with the Navy baseball team and that he played with many great athletes--Bob Hayes, Tony Dorsett, Randy White, Drew Pearson, etc. But he said he had never been in awe of a player like he was in watching a young rookie (at the time). His name: Bo Jackson! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
