Just read this in the Patriots Football Weekly -
"Maroney is the quiet type and not much into glitz, glamour and the fancy things of life as evident by a favorite tale related by Minnesota running back coach Vic Adamle. "We take most of our recruits out to a steak house in downtown Minneapolis that's one of the best steak houses in the country. Laurence went in there and he wanted a hamburger. He was bound and determined to get a hamburger at this steak place. In this restaurant you can't order a hamburger. So Coach (Glen) Mason told the waiter, 'You go back there and grind up the nicest filet you have and turn it into hamburger for Laurence'. Laurence was a happy man after that. I knew at that point he was a man after my own heart. The big fancy stuff isn't what impresses him."
Got to Love this guy!!
Kind of reminds me of Rodney's first "date" with Bill at a Ground Round, and how much he enjoyed the simple, straightforward approach, vs the glitz of Limos and fine restaurants other teams employ.
