Wow. What a miserable, bitter old [censored] this guy is. Otto should be honored that in the age of the "me first" athlete, that a young star with a rock-solid upbringing and impeccible values tried to "honor" him by wanting to wear his jersey number.
Otto could have simply said he was against it and left it at that. To punk LeCharles like he was some wannabe Homey from the Hood was moronic. A huge percent of today's professional athletes have no idea of the previous greats of their chosen sport and what they meant to its history. I remember reading a story once that Roger Clemens didn't even know that "Cy Young" was actually a player after winning the award, just thought it was a name of an award.
I'm surprised that this story and Otto's feelings didn't get the attention of the National Sports media, or maybe it did and I missed it. Jim Rome (as big a tool as he can be) would have had a field day with it.
