Get a couple autographs, a pic or two, sit and ask a couple questions.

Should be an interesting meeting, sitting with a Heisman QB, and Super Bowl winner.

That guy started his career as a Patriot back when the Patriots were as bad as today's Cleveland Browns. He was a real gentleman. And could throw a great ball. Randy Vataha, who he played with at Stanford was his number one receiver. I think he was about 5' 10" in high heeled sneakers. The Patriots before the Patriots we know today.

Have fun, Trends. You're with a good one.

Signed 2 footballs and took a pic with me, and then talked about the 1981 SB vs the Eagles.

All around nice guy, took the time out to spend 5 minutes and just chat.

Plunkett was a back up Qb in 1980 that came in after the starting Qb broke his leg, & Jim took the Raiders to the SB after winning 4 str playoff games & becoming the first ever wild card team to win the SB, beating Philly 27-10.

Cool story Trends, Vegas is full of opportunities to meet & greet famous people.

As a collector of autographs, I am truly jealous. Congrats

in plunketts first year with a bad patriot team, he took a terrible
physical pounding. fortunately he was tough physically and
mentally. I think that team went 8-8 which was a huge improvement.
if plunkett had gone to a good team or at least one with a decent
offensive line, he would be considered one of the greats today IMHO.
