Darrell Green: ‘Hooked on’ Julia Child

Smithsonian exhibits, feature films: Julia Child is all the rage these days. Even among the unlikeliest of people. Take Redskins Hall of Famer Darrell Green, for instance.

While cooling his heels at his hotel in Canton, Ohio, this weekend during the Hall of Fame induction ceremonies, Green found time to check out some reruns of Child on TV.

“Sitting in the hotel room watching Julia Child beat up a chicken,” he Twittered. And later: “I’m hooked on Julia. Never done anything on the rotisserie but next week you’ll be smelling Julia-inspired chicken from my backyard.”

Other highlights from Green’s weekend with football royalty: “Standing out in 85 degree sun taking a team picture. At 5’9″ it’s always hard to get a back row spot, but I got one.”

And: “Feel like a kid — just got punked for my seat on the bus by a more senior HOF’er. Trust me, I love it.”
