Ok, just got back. I was wrong about it being the ring of honor members, it was only the latest three.........Troy, Emmitt, and Irvin.
Highlights............I came up an escalator as I entered the building and at the top of the Escalator no more than 4 feet in front of me was Troy, Irvin, Emmitt, and Norm from the ticket doing the radio show. I sat there and listened, and I could not have been closer to them.
Emmitt and Irvin had these mack daddy watches on, Diamonds big time, Major bling bling if you know what I mean. I'm guessing these things were in the $30,000 range each. You couldn't have missed them if you were blind. Troy looked to be wearing a $30 Seiko. It was pretty damn funny.
On the commercial break, they pulled the headphones off, signed a few items for people (myself included), and believe it or not, made a couple of cracks at T.O's expense. Nothing major, just kind of eye rolling and things like that when his name was mentioned.
Onto the luncheon.............intro's blah blah blah, then the three of them sat around exchanging funny war stories and the such. What was clear was how all three of them absolutely love Norv Turner, we all know Troy loved him, but emmitt and micheal think the world of them too. Heck, they were even making fun of Shula (the O coordinator before Norv was hired)
Anyway, one of the funnys stories that came out was in the 3rd quarter of the 93 chamionship game vs the niners. When Troy got that real bad concussion. He said he was knocked silly, but came back to the huddle ran another play, then he came off the field to let the punt team get on. As he's coming off the field he see's Mark Stepknowski in street clothes and Troy starts yelling at him........"What the hell are you wearing street clothes for.......we have a big game here. What are you doing????
Well everyone in the world knew Stepnowski had knee surgery like 8 weeks earlier and has been in street clothes ever since, but since Troy was concussed, he didn't remember any of that. When he started yelling at Stepnoski, Stepnowski grabbed him and took him to the trainers and said........"This boy's mind ain't there"............
Troy told the story so that it was really funny.
Anyway, thats basically it.
