MARCO COLEMAN COME HOME!
I was thrilled the year Shula took both Coleman and Vincent in the top of the first round the year they came out. Both players were my wish list guys for the Fins that year! I was so happy.
When the Fins came to SD and Coleman was on the squad (Same year Kirby was our RB Starter) I took my oldest boy to his first Fins game. He was pretty aware of who the top players were...Offerdahl, Dan, etc.....and Coleman.
We caught Coleman just as he was heading out to dinner. My boy had his favorite Marco Coleman Card and asked Marco to sign it, even though Coleman was clearly in a hurry to catch his ride. He told my boy (then 4 or so) that he'd catch him when he got back in a few hours. I remember thinking...yeah right!
When he returned alot of people were flooding the team hotel wanting autographics, and there was a huge crowd at the lobby area door. He walked through the middle of the crowd BEFORE HE SIGNED ANYONE ELSE'S AUTOGRAPH STUFF, found my son, and autographed his card. I was so happy for my son, and very proud of Marco Coleman. I will always remember him doing that and being a man of his word. That was a nice weekend signings wise, my boy got McDuffie, Webb, Sims, Stoyo, Higgs, and the man named Dan!
