Chauncey Gardner story

[Oklahoma Gator]

I had a cool encounter meeting Chauncey at my job on Christmas eve with his mom before he was set to head out to Tampa for the Outback bowl. Super cool guy and very respectable. With his success on the field this year, his mom only had one stat she wanted to talk about; his 3.8 gpa this semester. On his way out the door I told him to do work against those Iowa boys. I guess he took my advice hahaha. Anyways it was just good to meet the young man and his family and he's a guy I'll be rooting for and someone I'm glad is representing the Orange and Blue!

I met a ton of players in the late 90s and early 2000's when I worked in the Gainesville airport. Five guys really stood out to me.

1. Gerard Warren – that dude was massive. Giant meat hook hands.

2. Shane Matthews – he looks like he weighed about 150 pounds. Wore cut off jean shorts. His legs look like toothpicks.

3. Chris leak – the guy was small. Thickly built. But short.

4. Rex Grossman – the guy was really cool. Really funny guy. He signed a football that we used to throw around on the tarmac. I thought one day it was going to be worth a lot of money. Then he had his NFL career.

5. Steve Spurrier – obviously not as a player… But we probably lost his luggage about a half dozen times. He was constantly cracking on us about how we sucked.

True. But he should have been so much more.

Ah I'm more of a low pressure sales guy. Just got him new iPhone 7 and told him good luck

Well seems like you're a better salesman than Mac. You may want to switch careers.

Yeah I'm taking about 75% of the credit for his success

I'm not from either, but I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express in Brevard County.

IF you have never seen this movie it is a must for people that love comedy. Peter Sellers was a genius and this was his best (to me). His character ended up being called Chauncey Garniner............when I heard the name of this player I thought it had to be a joke..................btw I love this player.
