This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I sat next to him st the 2007 Navy game. I noticed he was by OldIrishFan

Wearing a Super Bowl ring. His friend introduced him as Red Mack. I immediately remembered the reference to him in Instant Replay where he went up against Ray Nietschke in the Nutcracker drill and told them so. I think I made his day. He took off his ring and let my daughter try it on. A very nice man.

In the 2008 game I sat next to another man at the Stanford game who was wearing a Super Bowl IV ring. Turns out he was the hotel manager at the hotel the Chiefs would stay at during the night before home games and he was a good friend of Hank Stram. Small world
