A Belated Goff Story...
PostPosted:8 years 10 months ago
i don't follow college ball at all, nor high school ball, never have, but every once in a while i'll get into the draft and check out the prospects, the available vids, the scouting reports, etc., but this wasn't one of those years... so i was caught a bit off guard when local friends and customers, who know i'm a die-hard rams fan, started emailing and calling me to ask if i was excited that the rams might pick goff with the first overall, i really didn't know how to respond, except with "sure i guess", but i thought wentz would be fine too, didn't care much that goff went to cal (i'm in northern cal, a little over an hour from cal)...
well as it turns out goff not only went to cal but he also went to marin catholic high school, my son's rival school, and a school a lot of the kids around here went to, including a lot of my son's friends, it's about 30 minutes away, and they all knew goff, who was a year ahead of my son and his friends... in fact the goffs have been to my restaurant more than a few times, including jared, and i had no idea, didn't realize it until one of my regulars, a retired cop who is a very close friend of jared's dad, told me not too long ago, said he was recently at my place with jared's dad and wanted to introduce me but i was out, go figure... anyway my regular went on to tell me that jared's dad called him from l.a. when the rams flew jared down for the first meeting, the rams actually flew the entire goff family down, told my regular that the rams really rolled out the red carpet, wining and dining, beautiful hotel, everything, said he could not have been more impressed with the rams organization....
anyhoo, hope to meet the goffs the next time they're in, and i hope they bring jared, ha ha....
