    Just got done having lunch with my 97 year old grandpa...
    He's a good man.

    World War II veteran. Could still probably kick most of your asses. Legend.

    Anyway, let's keep this sports related, since, you know, that's what this place is about. The man is a huge football fan, he's played the game, he's coached the game, and we were talking running backs today.

    He told me the greatest running back he ever saw was ____________.

    25 points to the guy who guesses it right.

    Only 10 points if you're a lowly non-pro.

    One guess per customer.

    How well do you know my grandpa?

    Go.

            Good guesses, but all wrong.

              You are very fortunate to have your Grandfather still around.
              Enjoy the time with him as much as you can for one day he wont be around to talk sports or tell you all of his Great Stories.

              May God Bless you The Giants Grandpa!

                Thanks Sam, that's really kind of you. And I do, I know the end is not far off.

                Did you have a guess??

                          You don't have to have grandparents in order to make a guess.

                          So far, no one has gotten it...

                                Have you introduced Grandpa to your "life partner" yet? Is he cool with your alternative lifestyle?

                                  Realize that,just emphasizing Sam's point,that you need to appreciate your grandparents.

                                      Hope you had a wonderful time with your grandpa.

                                      I'm going to say Barry Sanders.

                                        I was going to say Sanders but The Giants response to his second guess swayed me from that decision.

                                        The Giant hanging out with his grandpa.... sounds pretty badass to me.

                                          Opie, I knew when your guess went awry you were going to lash out like an infant child missing out on dessert. This happens every time you miss out on a few extra points. It's embarrassing, man.

                                          Anyway, to answer your question, yes, my life partner was there. He gave my grandpa a handy.
