Talking Guess who just walked into my office...

George Rogers just walked in here with his Heisman Trophy…

He was the number one pick in the 1981 NFL Draft when he graduated college and won Super Bowl XXII with the Washington Redskins in 1988!!

Quote:
“In his first season, Rogers lead the league in rushing with 1,647 yards, which set a high for rookies at that time. He was selected as the NFL Rookie of the Year for 1981 and earned a trip to the Pro Bowl.

Rogers would spend his first four seasons in New Orleans, and his running ability is credited with bringing the 'Aints out of its perennial cellar. He played alongside quarterback Archie Manning in 1981 and eventually running back Earl Campbell, who was brought in during the 1984 season.

Rogers would play only three more seasons, all for the Washington Redskins. When he arrived in Washington, Hall of Fame running back John Riggins was ending his professional career, while coach Joe Gibbs was trying to bring the Redskins back to glory. Rogers had some of his biggest professional success in Washington, including another trip to the Pro Bowl and a Super Bowl title on January 31, 1988.”

There is a picture of me with him and me holding the Heisman Trophy to come shortly!

What do you do for a living that he came in with the trophy, or does he just carry it around with him everywhere?

We still dont know why he showed up... He did talk a little about a charity he runs that gives out Scholarships, so that may have been it.

And I work in CD/DVD Distribution...

OK, I got it now...

Apparently he is still friends with his old College Quarterback (Gary Harper)… for USC (South Carolina version) and his old College QB is our Symbol scanner rep.

I am a pessimistic optimistic. I think the worst is going to happen, that way when it does, i don't feel as bad, but if the best happens, i am twice as happy.

Talk about timing, I was recently asked this very same question, only about YOU. Seems since you enjoy doing it as much as randy enjoys it being done to him, some think that its time to reverse the situation.

Turnabout is fair play... or something like that.

I feel that something purple is on the horizon...
