I met another legendary icon that played for the Washington Redskins back in the heyday. He is none other than former Redskins Quarterback and current ESPN Monday Night Football Analyst Joe Theismann. Like Mark Rypien, another former Redskins Super Bowl Quarterback, Joe Theismann was also a pretty down to earth, friendly guy when I met him. As I shook his hand, he (Theismann) definitely had a strong, firm grip. The 1983 NFL Most Valuable Player really made you feel like you really belonged with him in his prescence. As I took the picture with him, Theismann really wanted to perfectly position himself in the shot; he definitely set a good a example of how to appreciate his fans. During his time, the autograph line was really long because every Redskins fan know who Joe Theismann is. However, the management at Tidewater Sports & Collectibles at MacArthur Mall in Norfolk, VA was able to keep it organized.
