Have you ever been in a situation where you’ve had an unusual or comical “brush” with an NFL player? Here is my very minor brush:
On a flight from New Orleans to LA after SB 36, an announcement came over the loud speaker before takeoff that an instrument was being repaired, no big deal, it would only take a few minutes. A guy comes back from first class sporting a gold chain with “87” on it. It’s none other than Saint receiver Joe Horn and he’s telling a woman in front of me that he doesn’t think he can stay on the plane because of the instrument problem. He goes back to first class and a few minutes after that, a stewardess comes over and tells the woman, who turns out to be Horn’s mother, that he got off the plane because he was afraid to take the flight. His mom asks the stewardess if Joe would feel better if he came and sat next to her, to which the stewardess said, “he left the plane and he's gone”. Mom and about five other people get up and get off the plane.
Joe Horn, what a guy. Sits in first class but makes his mom sit in coach, bolts from the plane ‘cause he’s scared, then leaves his family behind! Class all the way. But then again, this is the same guy who hid a cell phone in the goal post padding for a possible MNF touchdown celebration stunt, then could barely find it when he did score. I wonder if he was calling his mom?
