So I stop at this chillie dog stand in Porterville, while sitting at a table waiting for my three chilie dogs and a coke, this real old guy...
old guy...so you're a Niner fan? (I wear a Niner ball cap)
Avante...all my life.
old guy...me too, what has happened to us?
Avante...we let Harbaugh go.
old guy...remember R.C.Owens?
Avante...yep, he once blocked a field goal standing under the crossbar.
(I grab my order while still talking)
old guy...yes he did, then there was J.D.Smith
Avante....a converted DB from North Carolina A&T
old guy....I didn't know that, Was he smooth or what?
Avante...as silk, he seemed to glide.
old guy....glide, yes that was it...glide.
Avante...I;m sure you remember Joe Perry, huh?
old guy....oh yes, The Jet. Then there was The King
Avante..Hugh McElhenny
(he gets a call on his phone)
old guy...I really enjoyed chatting with you young man (I guess to an 80 year old I might be a young man) nice to find somebody who knows the Niners. Have a great day son.
Avante....you too my friend.
After finishing my chillie dogs, I get up to leave when a Raider fan...you guys need a QB.
Avante...I can't disagree.
Raider fan....as big as you are you should be on that offensive line.
Avante....Derek Carr, the guy has it going, huh?
Raider fan....best we;ve had since Stabler.
Avante...Gannon could play.
Raider fan....since Rich Gannon, you're right he could play.
Avante...I can see 9-7 and maybe a wild card this season for you guys.
Raider fan...you read my mind, that's what I was thinking.
Avante..hey, have a good one, I gotta jam.
Raider fan...good luck tonight.
Avante...good luck Sunday.
