Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Football Game

The Green Bay Packers picked LeRoy Butler in the second round of the 1990 NFL draft.  As a safety Butler played his entire career with the Packers until retiring in 2001. 

He has always been one of Jill’s favorite Packer stars and yesterday I happened to be wearing a jersey sporting his name and number to the game at Lambeau. 



Wouldn’t you know it – Butler was signing autographs at the Igloo tent before kick-off and he happily signed the throw-back jersey and posed for photos.  I even managed a couple of signed 8x10 glossy player photographs from his playing career. 


It is strange to think that there some remote possibility that I was the only person to happen-upon him yesterday wearing that shirt. 


Who knew?
