    So two years ago I used to work at Dick's in Garden City, right by where Curtis lives (I now go to school in Old Westbury and pass his house every day) and Curtis Martin came in. He was shopping for UFC equipment, as he told me he was thinking of starting MMA. I helped him out with that and being a dick, didn't get his autograph. Just so happened I got lucky and he came in again two weeks later while I was working looking for a bike. I told him where he could find some real bikes, but not before I ran and got a football for him to sign. We talked some Jets and he told me one of his favorite moments was the Monday Night Miracle (obviously) but he's a real cool down to earth guy. He was more than happy to sign the football and he even recognized me and knew my name the second time around. Figured I'd just share another piece of my Jets collection. Apparently he goes in there all the time as well as other athletes. Met a few Mets players there and some Islander ones as well at my stint there.
