Well, I only met him once, but he certaibly came across as a down to earth nice guy. Often the public personna and the way a person in the public eye is in real life is not the same. I know LVGD has told me of some real A holes who played at his table who have a very positive public image. I wouldn't advise punching him. I know when I shook hands with him, my hand disappeared . They must be 2/.1/2 times the size of mine.
Met the man twice. The first time he was a nobody tight end at the U. of Pittsburgh. I told him then I was from La Grange, IL outside of Chicago and he remarked that he would love to play for Halas. Met him again in '90 at his place in Chicago and congratulated him on his success in the league, with the '85 Bears, and with his restaurant. He looked at me with that squint of his and asked "didn't I meet you in Pittsburgh a few years ago?" Many a laugh over that one.
To our Pecker fans on this forum. Mike may be alot of things, mostly fabrications in your own minds, but he has never sunk to the depths of Forrest Gregg and his attempt to injure McMahon with his goon lineman.
