Me, CVG, & ex-football players turned broadcasters named Chris
Dear Bro,
As I have mentioned in a previous blog entry. one of the activities I enjoy here at the airport is to take a daily constitutional around the facilities to offset the extensive quantity of time I spend seated in at my desk looking at my monitor. As part of this walk I see a large amount of passengers on a regular basis, and in some cases some of them either local or national celebrities.
My topic today is about some local turned national celebrities and a certain gripe I have with both of them.
Heres the first one:
In case you haven't followed American football in a while, this is an NBC network commentator named Chris Collinsworth, who is originally from Florida but lives here in Cincinnati as 1) he played many years for the Cincinnati Bengals and 2) now has roots in the community (ie- wife, kids, business .. etc). So during the football season when I am going for my noon walk through the terminal I see Chris heading to baggage claim on the same day each week to spend some time with his family. I usually say hello and he says "hey" and gives me that "good to be home" smile. Nice guy all around.
Now look closely at the picture. Chris was born in 1959, thus as of this writing he is 48 years old. Do you see any gray hair? I gotta be honest here, I am 44 and I got gray coming out the ying-yang, but even in person there is nay a gray on his dome.....
Here's the second subject:
Chris Carter is another football player turned TV sports analyst. In this case he was a local player turned big time, as he grew up in Middletown, OH (up the road) and played his college ball at Ohio State. I saw Chris last week in Concourse B speaking on a cellular device in a nice outfit waiting for a flight. This Chris happens to be 42 years old, so granted I would not expect to see a whole bunch of gray hair on his head... but just maybe a strand or two.
I took a good long look as I walked by, since he was sort of facing away from me and would not be freaked out by my intense study of the exterior of his cranial area. Not a single darn gray hair on the guy.
So based on that evidence... I have my parents to thank for all the gray hair I am collecting because they did not name me Chris......
