curtis i met curtis martin last offseason at training camp...i knew he was still rehabing his knee and was told he wouldnt be there. I bought an authentic game ball from the jets shop which cost me 199.99...and i was like man now that martin isnt here who will i try to get to sign it? So after practice mccriens, ben grahm and laveranues coles. So im like ok coles will do the trick when all of a sudden i here a kid start screaming curtis curtis...so i ran over and waited, i could tell he was gettin a lil agervated because people wouldnt stop shuving things in his face to sign, and when he came by me i was like curtis would u please sign my ball and i held it in my hands...he reached over the fence took the ball from me signed it really nicely and told me to have a good day. I couldnt believe i met curtis martin, my favorite jet of all time!:martin:
Add Jerricho Cotchery and Bryan Thomas to my list. I met them on Saturday in Long Island. Both really nice guys.
Wayne Chrebet came into the gas station I worked at in Holmdel once in a while. He seemed like a nice enough guy.
--Brad Baxter and Louie Aguilar at a Hermans doing autographs. --Boomer Esiason lived down the street from me when I lived in Manhasst, NY. We'd see him all the time. Mega nice. --Bill Pickel and my uncle are close friends. I tried Pickel's SB ring (he got with The Raiders) on when I was a kid. It blew my little mind! --Cal Dixon down at Hofstra I never had the honor of meeting Chrebet. Of course I don;t see as many Jets now that I live in Georgia ::sigh::
ever met a jets -Met Gastineau, Klecko,Lyons and Salaam (sack exchange) got the top of a box with old jet logo autographed by all 4. -Got pictures of myself and Wayne Chrebet in 8B, Giants Stadium, and also got the pictures autographed later. Also got Wayne to autograph his book for me -Met Bruce Harper,Wesley Walker, and Freeman McNeil in parking lot at Giants stadium. Also got their autographs. -Also met Woody Johnson (Jets Owner), and got my picture taken with him with me all painted up in my gameday costume. Jetbo, formerly of Lot 8B, but it appears we will be relocated with the new stadium construction
i always used to go to pats training camp to see curtis martin, and now i go to the jets training camp to see the jets
Last year at training camp when they came over for autographs the last day i got screwed by coles. He went 2 to the side so no1 would see him and i had a nice 8x10 of him that i wanted him 2 sign. I went over to him (instead of gettin every1 else that day) waited 10 minutes as he signed like envelopes, napkins, lil pink footballs, all crap as i sit there with my 8x10. He finishes everything and im the only one left, he looks at me and says sry i cant and runs off. I was pisssssed off
anyone ever hear of a Jimmy Cannizzaro? claims he was a Jet for 3 mos before injured in '84 owned Swiss Tavern in Lynbrook until 4/2
If Dennis Blign ever views these message boards can he tell me if Jerome Butler used to play professional BB in Italy ?
what does a special team member do, just kicking ? someone told e they were a special not sure what this means
I met Gastenaeu once, he was pretty much an ass! Met him in a sporting goods store and he was totally full of himself!
I saw Gastineau a couple years ago outside the stadium after a game, he was signing autographs. Didn't stop to meet him but he was there. Seemed to be cool to all the people who were around him at the moment.
Back in the day I used to hang out regularly with Brad Baxter. recently I have ran into Leonard Marshall and Keith Byers down in Florida. Additionally my in-laws are good friends with Sam Deluca, so I see him socially several times a year.
