New & old school share a flight to Dallas
By Jon Rapoport
While waiting for my flight from LA to Dallas, I noticed three-time Super Bowl Champion Willie McGinest having a conversation with Rams Hall of Famer Deacon Jones. During the 2.5 hour flight, both men sat in first class on the Virgin America flight to Texas. Upon arrival, McGinest was approached at the baggage carousel by several fans seeking either an autograph or photo. McGinest was extremely accommodating to everyone who asked, even posing for multiple pictures with the same group of guys. After this group's photo requests were satisfied, I asked McGinest if he would pose for a photo with me and once again he accepted. McGinest appears to act like a champion on and off the field.
