Just thought I would share a Darrell Green moment of mine...... Being from Carlisle I had the opportunity to attend every practice of training camp when the redskins were here in 2001 and 2002. I was a teenage boy on summer vacation absolutely loving having the 'skins back. The one player's autograph I really wanted was of course Darrell Green. He just so happened to be the hardest player to get. I dont know what it was but he just wouldnt sign. Well, one day I was riding my bike home after one of their practices and I see this short man with these HUGE calfs looking at a town map on the Dickinson College campus. I said to myself jokingly "he looks like Darrell Green". As I got closer I realized that he "REALLY looked liked Darrell Green". I rode up close to him and got off of my bike to see if it was him or not. I didn't want to be wrong and say something to a stranger. After being somewhat convinced it was him I said kind of curiously "Darrell?" He looks at me and says "It's Mr. Green". He then proceeded to sign 3 or 4 autographs for me. It may not seem like a big deal but but when you end up meeting your biggest idol face to face accidentally like that.... it was a pretty cool experience. HOF '08
