Re: Who's the coolest that you met??
I have met a lot of Skins over the years, and have probably forgotten that I met some. When I was 5 my family got to go bowling with George Allen, I still have a b/w framed picture of him helping me hold up a bowling ball. The early 70's garb that everyone was in is actually quite comical.
My mother worked for awhile with Pat Fischer and I met him several times, he was awfully cool and told great stories that I thought were predominantly fabricated until I met his Nebraska and Redskin teamate Ron McDole, who is extremely nice and corroborrated all the sories Pat Fischer told me. I even hired McDole to build 2 custom bars for me, he does excellent work.
I think the coolest Redskin I have met though was Irving Fryar, although he was an Eagle when I met him. I was working at a summer camp near Philadelphia years ago and took a group of kids to Eagles training camp for the day, After practice just about every player blew out of there quickly, but Fryar stopped and signed autographs for every single person who wanted one, and spent about 15 minutes after that talking to me and the kids that I brought to camp. I thought that was very nice of him.
