Love me Kenny Easley. First sports autograph I ever got. First jersey I ever bought. Dude scared me though in person
You were right to be scared :th2thumbs: Did you read 'From the Seahawks Sideline,' by Steve Raible?
I remember he talked about Larry Marmie following Easley though the parking lot trying to get in Kenny's face about something...Easley had enough and cold cocked him! :lol: :lol: He really was nobody to eff with, on or off the field.
Well, it was an official autograph session. Thing was, no one was in line! Bad marketing or whatever it was. I think he was seriously pissed that there was only a trickling of folks coming up to him, for like a good 15 to 20 minutes. Or maybe he just always looks that way.
Memory is really faulty here, the short version: I am pretty sure it was the exit near the woman's section of the old Fredricks (or Bon) at Southcenter. My mom plopped me and my brother down near the exit while she shopped and we saw this really really scary looking guy sitting at a table by himself with some Seahawks stuff. My bro and I thought he was selling stuff or giving stuff away, but he looked so dang scary that we just kinda sat far away and watched him. Eventually we worked up the courage to approach him and were surprised to find out it was Kenny Easley!!! And we were shocked because he was the biggest thing to us .. we loved him! And there was NO ONE there getting autographs.
(And then when our mom came back we convinced her to get us each a jersey

)
I went into detail in the story in my .net intro post if anyone wants to read the longer version
