Dad Retires After Watching Football For 25 Years
TEMPE,
AZ—Norm Roosevelt, 52, who has worked full-time as a Radisson hotel
manager while watching football games, recordings of football games, and NFL
Films highlight tapes since 1980, announced Tuesday that he will retire in
early March. "It's been a good run, that's for sure," said Roosevelt, who had
waited until he finished watching this years' Super Bowl from behind his
hotel's front desk to make the decision. "But I think it's time I hang it up
and spend some time watching my son watch football before it's too late." News
of Roosevelt's retirement was received graciously by the West Side Tempe
Radisson team front-office personnel, who joked with Roosevelt about all the
reprimands in his file for watching televised sports on company time.
