He said he would.
I wonder if that’s how that started or the coaching staff reached out to Tamba, or if Tamba reached out directly to George.
Fun to think that I may have played a role in them working together.

I love stories like this.
It reminds me of the time I was living in Dallas as a young man, attending college at the University of Texas at Arlington. I would frequently go to Rangers games.
One game Pat Mahomes was there pitching, and I happened to see a young boy on the field shagging fly balls before the game.
The elder Mahomes came over to sign autographs and I asked him who the young child was in the outfield, displaying such raw, dazzling athletic talent. He told me that was his son, and he was going to be a great baseball player some day.
"Mr. Mahomes, your son should play football. He looks like a quarterback to me."
Pat Sr. smiled and said "Yeah, but he'll never be a first round pick, fatboy."
Fun to think that I may have played a role in the rise of the Kansas City Chiefs dynasty.
