Folks, we have some inside scoop.
While walking to work this morning, I stopped by PBS to see if there was any activity on this first day of free agency. I witnessed the following first hand, as Mike Brown and Paul Brown (his son, mid-30's) are walking into the office, McDonalds bags in hand.
Here's what transpired:
(Mike and Paul walking up Elm Street, as a large bus pulls up)
Albert Haynesworth: Hey guys, I'm Albert Haynesworth, best defensive tackle in football. I'm looking
for a team that I can dominate for the next five years. I want to win a Super Bowl championship with the Cincinnati Bengals.
(Paul, looking at his dad, gets very excited)
Paul Brown: You are in luck!
Albert smiles
Paul: There's a city with an NFL team about 300 miles THAT way! (pointing east). I'm sure you will find a team that would love to sign you.
Albert (Looking bewildered): Umm, OK guys, thanks.
Bus pulls away, then Mike Brown realizes something...
Mike Brown: Paul, DO YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE???
Mike and Paul then chase down the bus
Mike: You'll have to excuse my son...he's a little slow. The town is 90 miles back THAT way (pointing west)
Albert just shakes his head, laughing.
Mike: Wow, some lucky team is going to pick him up and play him
Paul: Don't worry Dad, we'll catch our break too. Just got to keep our eyes open.
Mike: Your right.
Paul: Hey Dad
Mike: Yes son?
Paul: You're it
Mike: No you're it
Paul: Nope no way, you're it
Mike and Paul play tag and skip all the way into the office, McDonalds McGriddles in hand.
