GETTING NASTY

I met Keith "Big Nasty" Kunzig a couple years ago when I wrote a profile of him during the Bucs' Super Bowl run. I thought he was a great guy. When I'd see him at games, he'd take time to say hi. Even posed with Salad Boy last year. It's not every day that you can say you know someone with their own bobblehead doll.

He does a lot of charity work, so I thought I'd pass along this press release about a shindig he's contributing to.

THIS WEEKEND “BIG NASTY” AND AUTHENTIC TEAM MERCHANDISE HELP KIDS' DREAMS COME TRUE

That's so cool. He's a good guy. I remember when he used to sit near the seats we had at the time. I always thought to myself.. "now THERE'S a fan!"
