I was coming back into my office from a smoke break a little while ago and I see one of our executives coming down the hall with a very tall indivdual. He was grinning from ear to ear because he knows I'm a huge fan and the person next to him is Brad Van Pelt -LB-NY Giants 1973-1983. I met him and spoke with him for a few minutes about the old days, Harry Carson and LT. It was awesome. He seems like a classy guy with a great sense of humor. It made my day.

That's right, he went the Raiders in 84, I forgot about that.

I am somewhat of a Giants fan due to family being from NY. But i dont really know who he is. I did have an experience with LT. I used to install home theaters and we did a job at LT's house in Virginia Beach. So i was able to meet him and talk to him for about an hour.I also had another ecperience with Marv Levy from the Bills. Man.......... does he have alot of rings. I even got to see them all.

That's cool, I met LT several years ago and still see him at training camp. He's a very easy going guy. FYI: Brad Van Pelt played with LT and Harry Carson, they were all linebackers.

Well the last thing i can remember about the Giants is when they won the super bowl with Parcell as the coach. I believe it was in 89 or 90.

I can decide if I should be jealous or envious. Granted I was born in 81 but I can still appreciate old players. I was originally a Browns fan since I lived in Cleveland and watched them at the Municipal Stadium. Heck our next door neighbor was the son of Lou "The Toe" Groza, Bernie Kosar lived in my neighborhood right near where Kyle Brennan was as well."The Toe"
