Dwight Howard is a great example. He used to come to my son's football games here in Texas. I spoke to him a couple of times and he was amazing. Very affable. I have also seen him out and about, and while he was nice, he wasn't in the mood to talk basketball.

That's cool you met Dwight. Chris Mullin would rarely walk by my little league games when I was a kid and he'd say hi to everyone. It was pretty cool.

On the other hand, I met Barry Simms at a gas station right after he was on the 9ers. I recognized him and said hey. No one else was in there. Major douchebag. Gave him props on filling in for Staley and he blew me off.

He also stated that most of the team doesn't care/know much about the kaep situation.
i never believe this stuff and yes i am being harsh. players do not just go around saying random stuff to random fans in my opinion. i do not care if its this story being positive about chip or the infamous " i just happened to talk to bruce miller at a bar" gibberish.

news flash cc you know players are actually human beings that talk to other people.

lol players are taught to say the right things to media and fans. There was just a player on NFL radio that was drafted by NE and he said they give players a class on what to say and what not to say to the media.

Kellen Davis is from my neck of the corn fields and he told his dad that Jay Cutler was a prick lol. That's not really inside info you can tell he is just by looking at him.

I played on a softball team with active and former players. We never discussed their job unless it was to talk about some practical joke or other funny stuff that happened.

I thought what hurt him most in Philly is when he started trading away or cutting players. I think he has a better clean slate with the 49ers, a younger roster and you dont have any divas ala Desean Jackson.

I can understand the OP's intent to leave the player nameless.

It's quite possible the player gave him truthful, sincere information and he just wanted to keep it that way.

I almost had doubts about uncovering Tony Parrish's thoughts to me about Harbaugh and the 2014 Niners, and he had been off the team for almost 10 years.
