“We beat the other league”…
Last Time I met Joe,he was a Jr Seau’s restaurant working for direct tv and signing autographs there…I purchased a jets helmet and drove to Seau’s and got in line…As I got to meet him,I told him how being a AFL Fan That super Bowl was one of the Greatest Days in my Life…He said well I wasn’t the best Player in the AFL and turned into a real A-hole,nothing like the Letterman interview. I know he was a Huge alcoholic and seemed Hung over …very disappointing
