My wife taught Todd Grantham's (D Line coach) young child a couple of years back... She became good friends with his wife. They invited us to the Chargers game held here most recently and we got to sit with her in the NICE section reserved for coach/player families.
Hung out with the everyone, watched the team lose and then were invited to the team after-party. I did not even know they had those, but it made sense. We were led through a series of security points and finally ended up in a swanky ballroom sized area. Free food and drinks, etc... with a lot of the families and friends hanging out waiting for the team to make it in. Pretty surreal and awesome. Coach Grantham left the next year to be the D Coordinator for Georgia unfortunately. He and his wife were super class acts and he even had D. Ware sign a jersey and football for me.
When he left, his wife dropped be a couple of garbage bags of his Cowboys coaches gear. He is a much bigger dude than me unfortunately. Once again, really neat people. Our son was going through chemo at the time and it really lifted our spirits.
