I was excited to hear earlier in the week that Chicago Bears great Richard Dent was paying a visit to Des Moines. I right away called my father-in-law Phil to remind him to bring some of his Bears stuff to get it signed, and of course he forgot. Number 95 was at the grand opening of the new Shoe Carnival at Merle Hay Mall. We took our place in line and waited to meet “The Sackman”. Every Bears fan knows the lyrics to that greatest of great songs, “The SuperBowl shuffle” I thought for a moment of asking Dent to sing ” The Sackman cometh, I’m your man Dent. If the quarterback’s slow, he’s gonna get bent”, but at the last minute I chickened out. As we waited, we ran into 3XWrestling commissioner Todd Countryman.

Turns out Todd is a big fan and he shared a memory with us.
