I’ve told this story here before but…..sorta relevant
Mid-November 1992 – Going down (from NY) for MNF game vs. Bills after winning a Halloween costume contest IN BILLS COUNTRY!!!
We’re in Atlanta airport on 1st leg to Miami. There’s actually about a dozen Dolphins fans and we all knew each other from a bar we gathered at every week for games. We see a guy & gal running through airport – that’s John Bosa (somebody called out)! Most of us just watched as he ran into a jet bridge (after kissing the woman – presumably his wife) and he was gone.
But one young lad from our group had run to try & catch up to him. Standing next to his wife as Bosa disappeared there were now 4-5 of us that had walked pretty close by then.
Our friend was heard saying. “That was John Bosa right”? The woman nodded in agreement.
And HILARITY ensued….
Our friend then goes into this minute long disembowlment of Eric Kumerow, and how sad we all were for Bosa’s injury history but at least he was NFL caliber, unlike the absolute piece of garbage Kumerow turned out to be.
We ALL (Dolphins fans watching & listening to this unfold) ended up on one knee or laughing so hard we almost choked when the young lady put a hand up to silence our friends sorta lengthy dissertation on all things negative Eric Kumerow and said, “You mean, my brother”?
Absolutely one-a the funniest moments I can remember….
Our friend (who was always the loudest & most boisterous & talkative guy – at the bar watching games) just put his head down & kinda slithered away as we just laughed & laughed and kept a trip spoiled by a Bills MNF win fun – if not for the game outcome – at least for the constant reminder of how hysterical that episode was.
For that reason alone Eric Kumerow will always hold onto the biggest bust label for me.
