At the same dinner, I went to the bathroom and Howie Long stood right next to me at the urinals. He also does not adhere to man-code. He stood right next to me even with empty stalls. I typically don't have stage fright, but that was a rare exception.
That was the great thing about that HOF weekend, you could literally bump into anyone. I got a picture with Mark Moseley, saw Charles Mann, Joey T., Elway, Doc Walker, Lynn Swann, Mooch, Schefter, on and on.
