Well I guess the measure of greatness can be summed up with one word ( Humble ) That's right,
Sam Mills was the most humblest person I had the pleasure to meet as a friend and high school
team mate playing football for Long Branch High School in 1974. That was the year of miracles
and new discoveries, and Sam was that miracle I discovered and became inspired by. You see; we
had a camaraderie as a team of brothers and friends that went far beyond the game of football, we
learned how to be men. Some of us had and didn't have fathers, and I at that time lost my father
through divorce so the team was my brothers and fathers I didn't have at home. Some of the young men
were Ace Cammarano, Burt Grandanite, Scott Reeves, Tyronne Farrow, Curtis Stevens, Tim Wilson and we had
coaches like Mr Odem, Mr Yvonnovich, Mr Hall ect... One of the good memories i can remember is when
I got into a one on one with Sam in the hitting circle, that's when all the players form a circle and
two players would go at it helmet to helmet like rams. Well that's when i learned how it felt to be hit
by greatness, oh; and spitting out dirt and grass from the field, oh; and turning my helmet where i can
see again. Sam was a beast on the field of play and a gentleman off the field, I have never been hit and
knocked around like that before or since, in other words Sam raised the bar and very few players at that
time didn't want to see Sam raising that bar on them. It was weird you would figure someone so good would
have a bad ego, not Sam, he was polite and respectful towards everyone. I learned a lot from Sam to be humble
and respectful towards others as well. My name is Tim Scott, also known as Timo the bass playerTimo Scott (talk) 05:30, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
