Did you see Hawks center Robbie Tobeck dress up as Mike Holmgren at Grant Wistrom's annual Halloween charity bash? Tobeck was dead on -- from Holmgren's custom short shorts for practice (that's how we know when its really cold. if Coach wears pants, it's officially COLD), to his tilted Hawks cap and his glasses. Tobeck even covered his mouth with Mike's sacred play chart (so lip readers can't steal plays, of course). Robbie's one of the few players who dares to pull Holmgren's chain. And even though he'll never admit it, Coach loves every minute of it. Tobeck's played long enough and well enough to get away with it, and Holmgren fires right back. A few years ago, Mike gave his "compact" center a custom set of golf clubs -- they were cut down for someone about 3 feet tall. The team roared and so did Robbie. Relationships like that are rare in the NFL. It takes a lot of time, work and a lot of winning to build. I can't talk about Wistrom's party without mentioning all his charity work for children with cancer. Grant and his teammates all deserve credit for raising thousands of dollars (again) for families who need all the help they can get.
