Denard is the greatest.  I've never met him, but my son bumped into him in Royal Oak.

My son told me Denard was very friendly, humble and polite.  He is an amazing human being.

Thanks for posting.  His answer to question number 3 got me thinking about some words of wisdom my dad provided me with before my freshman year at M... "if it smells like fish, make it a dish... if it smells like provalone, leave it alone..."   dad is super smart.

 

Anyway, I miss Denard.

my favorite weight gain meal was a sister ann from pizza bobs, and i'd get a combo, chocolate chip/coffee milk shake.

playing football in socal, it would have been getting two 'double doubles' from in-n-out burger, with fries and a chocolate shake, or if i was at a diner i'd order like a dozen eggs over easy, 3 orders of wheat toast, and a roast beef sandwich.   as they say, you've got to eat big to get big. 

p.s. when we were growing up downstate my father and gordie were good buddies and the families were friendly.  when my dad passed away 3 years ago he left me/us the jersey gordie gave him when i was born, his white red wings (at the time the away jersey) captain's jersey.   us siblings donated it to the red wings and they have it up somewhere at the joe i believe.

Thanks for sharing this, JGB.

I was actually rather amused by the answer to the second question myself - it's difficult to imagine the manual logistics of signing a golf ball effectively, but I do applaud whoever handed it to him for thinking out of the box certainly. Hopefully, they cherish the golf ball because Denard.

I saw the jags insider last night with denard and I thought I was the only one. Denard's glowing personality has endeared him to a lot of people here in Jax. If you're in Jax, I'll buy you a beer and we can discuss all things Michigan. Go Blue. I also bought Jags season tickets -I told the box office that I was buying in support of denard and chad. The Jags are like a UM alumni game. The people at the Jags love Denard. Also the practices are lined with UM fans.
