He would leave them for different people.
Atlanta Falcons Coach Jerry Glanville has been known to leave game tickets for Elvis Presley, the Phantom of the Opera and James Dean. On Sunday, he should have left some for his offense. They never showed, either.
Glanville Should Have Left Tickets for Offense : AFC: Falcons fail to score a touchdown and Steelers rally to win for the fourth time in their last five games, 21-9. Miller throws three interceptions. - Los Angeles Times (http://articles.latimes.com/1990-11-05/sports/sp-2812_1_fourth-time)
Q.There was a story that when you were coaching in the N.F.L., you would leave tickets for Elvis before every game. Was that true?
A. Don’t screw up a good story with facts. We were playing the New England Patriots in a spring game. June Jones and I were riding to work in a pickup truck, and on the radio they said Elvis was spotted at a Burger King in Michigan. And June says, “Isn’t the halftime show dedicated to Elvis at our game?” I said, “Yeah.” He goes, “Well hell, we ought to leave him a ticket.” So we left him a ticket. Now if you get on the Internet, you’ll see that I left him a ticket for every game I coached in Atlanta. We never left a ticket for anyone in Atlanta, ever. But why ruin that story?
