Great to hear about Dan Fouts being picked for your NFL on CBS....my comment: I recently played golf with Dan in Oregon at The Salishan Golf and Spa Resort (August 6th, 2008). I just happened to be at the same time (7:10 tee time) as he and his buddy Steve. Throughout the whole round, I didn't really know how to act? Here I was in the presence of greatness and if I over reacted in any way or form, I would not only ruin playing well myself but probably ruin Dan's golf outing too. I kept it low key - Dan was absolutely great to play golf with - down to earth, a gentleman's broadcaster. I need him to do me a favor and sign/witness my scorecard - what are the chances of that happening - let me know how I can send him my scorecard? Also, Thanks for the soda Dan, it sure was great sitting and having a chat with you and Steve....Regards, Dave Rodriguez (from Dallas,Texas)
