I just met Scott Norwood....

[OpIv37]

...in a bar in Pittsburgh, PA.

I saw a guy in a Bills shirt so I started talking to him. It turned out to be Jimmy, the owner of Jimmy's Old Town Tavern, which is a bar in Herndon, VA where the Northern VA Bills Backers hang out. He was on his way to the HOF ceremonies, and he introduced me to his friend, who happened to be Scott Norwood.

We talked briefly and I got a picture, then we ran into them again in a different bar later on. Scott is very down-to-earth and easy to talk to. He even showed us his watch from the '89 pro bowl.

Here's a pic with me, Scott, and Jimmy (in that order):

Damn it, I live in Pittsburgh and missed the opportunity -_-.

Congrats meeting him Op, guy is a legend, either loved or hated in Bills history.

[Buffalogic]

Wow what was your initial reaction when you realized it was really him? My eyes would have widened if I saw Scott Norwood in real life that's for sure.

[Mr. Miyagi]

Damn the guy looks real old.

First thing out of my mouth would've been that my fantasy team name is Wide Righters lol.

[Meathead]

nice to meet you mr norwide

[realdealryan]

We talked briefly

"So......Scott.......ummm........about SB XXV............"

[Jan Reimers]

One more time: Our loss in SB XXV was not Scott Norwood's fault.

People act as though he missed a chip shot. He missed a 48 yarder. It would have been the longest kick on grass in his career.

And in the rain, after the Bills had been outcoached all game, dominated in time of possession, and failed to execute on a number of key plays.

[mybills]

He was awesome all season long, too!

[DynaPaul]

Man he looks fat and old. I know those Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches he was eating didn't go wide right. Guy must have had a tough life after that game though.

[OpIv37]

"So......Scott.......ummm........about SB XXV............"

That's kind of how it was.

I don't blame him for that game at all- that was an extremely tough kick and a lot of players made a lot of mistakes to get to that point. But at the same time, it's hard NOT to bring it up. I asked him about Bruce and we talked about Reed and Tasker not being in the Hall, about his Pro Bowl in 89 and talked a little about the current team, and I avoided the SBXXV stuff because I'm sure he's heard it a million times. But it wasn't easy.

btw how'd you get a picture of Mike Williams, and where's his Redskins jersey?

[Mr. Miyagi]

I'm with you. I don't hate on him. Just amusing that's all.

Well played Op. I know I would have tried to avoid the topic all together.

I heard he was clinically depressed after that game and never fully recovered

He aged thirty years within one after that superbowl...

I aged 50

[ALL D]

Be careful in the bathroom peeing next to him. He might miss the urinal and hit your foot...

[TheBrownBear]

Yeah...I never ever blamed Norwood. It was out of his range and I honestly never thought he had a shot at it...maybe something like 20%. Also, I met him when I was younger and he's a real good guy. He did a lot of stuff with Camp Good Days when I used to attend as a kid.

Anyway, that game was all on Levy and Kelly. Kelly didn't play a bad game statistically, but his ego got the best of him and he called a horrible game. Hand the ball to Thurman 30 times and we probably win that game by 7-10 points.

[BillsNick]

Scott Norwood didn't lose the game. But he sure as ***** didn't win it.

Having said that, I don't hate the guy. I just hate the years of nightmares and therapy I had to go through.
