Fun read. A first person account of Von Miller's early life and path to the NFL, told with his childhood friends (all of whom went to A&M and made it to the NFL) Damontre Moore, Tony Jarod-Eddie and Cyrus Gray:



Von:
It still doesn’t feel real. After the game, we went to the club to celebrate with everybody. Mom, Dad, my brother, all of us. There’s no CiCi’s in San Francisco. I would’ve had a CiCi’s pizza at 3 a.m., though.

Damontre:
Von got a call after the game. “Lil Wayne wants to party with you.”

Cyrus:
Wayne played the after-party. We used to listen to this dude in the ’96 Oldsmobile with seven big-ass football players stuffed into the car. And now the real guy is standing in front of us, like, What’s up?

Damontre:
The Super Bowl MVP has a real chicken farm. A legitimate farm. That he maintains himself. He’s even got roosters. If you go down to DeSoto, Texas, you can stop by Von’s farm and get yourself a dozen organic eggs. This is real.

Cyrus:
You’re the first Super Bowl MVP with a tattoo of a rooster, I’m pretty sure about that.

Good lord that's a great story. "Roosters are dope". Von, you da man.

Dude is pretty much universally well-liked - and it's easy to see why. He always keeps it real. Great read.

I would like to BBQ one of Von's chickens and send step by step pictures to Dave.

Nice. I hope you get aids, Ebola and syphilis and maybe some genital warts

Yeah, it's probably not worth changing it now.

But the Doom is gone. Even though I still love him.

I think we should brainstorm new combinations for VonDoom using more obscure players...
