re: Ben Hicks on Finebaum... Dude is so chill....

He rolled through my liquor store on a Friday night at midnight the night before a game and picked up a 12 pack of Miller Lite. I’ll never forget it because it honestly seemed like he was going home to drink despite there being a game the next day. Dude was so chill about life at the time.

I had classes with him back then and he really was that laid back.

As the famous story goes a tornado hit his home and his father ran upstairs to check on him. He'd slept through the whole thing despite it tearing the roof off the house. Matt agreed, yes the roof is off the house, and then rolled back over and went to sleep.

I would have hated to play cards with him. Whether the pot was 3 bucks or a million he'd still have the exact same expression on his face. Like he was about to doze off at any minute.

Dude knew he was better than most players on the field. If MJ wanted a beer, he got a damn beer.

I miss seeing that dude outrunning CB's and safeties down the sidelines. Just a freak athlete.
