They were both very nice. Nick Lowery spent like an hour explaining the players' position in the strike to my mom.
Nick Lowery left before I could get his autograph. So my mom sent him a letter, and he sent me back a nice autograph that said "Kick as high as you can!' with a drawing of a football going through the goalposts. I wondered if he thought I was one of the special olympians.

I have that exact autograph on a hat, but I had a buddy get the signature for me. Maybe my buddy said I was a special Olympian?
