I met Johnny Unitas at BWI airport. A friend and I were waiting for our flight when I saw him standing all by himself with no one around. I noticed him and said to my friend, "holy shit, that's Johnny Unitas!" We walked over and started talking with him. We just had a normal converssation for 10 or 15 minutes.
I was staying at a hotel in Secaucus a few years ago when the NFL Classic golf match was eing held in Clifton. Most of the former players were staying at the same hotel as me. I was walking down in the morning when Joe Theisman walked past me. I had to do a double take because I didn't know they were there. That evening the lobby was packed with guys like Ed "too tall" Jones, and Emmitt Smith.
I ended up riding the elevator that night with Tom Flores. I didn't say anything because at the moment I knew who he was but couldn't recall his name.
