Was reminiscing in another thread about media day at the 1994 Pro Bowl. It made me think of some funny stuff with Moose.
Back then I was a DJ on the radio out in Honolulu. I was dispatched to media day to get some sound bites from the pro bowlers. Well, I went to the Cowboy players first, of course. I was doing a little impromtu interview with Daryl Johnston:
Me: So, do you like being called 'Moose'?
Moose: Well, there are worse nicknames, I suppose.
Me: True...I mean, they could have called you 'The Beaver'.
Moose: Right. That would be a little too feminine.
Me: Ohhh, a dirty mind! The word 'Beaver' relates to females, huh Moose?
At this point, DJ kind of laughs and while he was laughing he reached up and kind of clapped me on the shoulder. Then he squeezed it real, REAL hard and said "You're a funny guy." Then I did my Tommy from 'Goodfellas' ("Funny? I'm funny how? Like I'm a clown? I'm here to amuse you?") He liked that, too.
Anyway, no point to this story. Just a little brush with greatness.
