On my lunch break today I decided to go drive down to the local mall to eat the food court . So I was in a line for some random asian restaurant got my order went to sit down and enjoy my meal. Then I realized that I forgot my drink so I ran back to the counter to get it.
As I am sitting there trying to get the cashiers attention a feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn to my left to see a guy with a friendly smile and that "hey remember me kind of look". It was former Steelers Kicker Jeff Reed! He goes " I knew you looked familiar"
About a year back when I used to Bounce at a local bar here in Charlotte I had almost denied Jeff Reed entrance because of dress code violation. Which was funny because it took me about 1 minute to recognize him then I was like "your Jeff Reed, you play for the steeler, I love the steelers!!, you welcome to come in!" He thought it was awesome and funny that a I was a Steelers fan. He actually came out frequently that night and talk to me about football for about an hour. Gave me and autograph and took off at last call.
Today in the food court, he goes "Hey man, long time no see!" I look at him an laugh shake his hand tell him it was tough seeing him go as a steeler. Wearing my shirt and tie he complimented me saying that my work attire was a lot more impressive.
Thought it was cool that the guy remembered me and was willing to come over to say hello. Ya dudes a crazy party animal sometimes but he stand up guy when it comes to his fans.
