Retired Athletes Pre-Party for Charity

A handful of famous retired athletes pre-partied for a cause at Indianapolis Colts Grille early Friday evening. Spotted at the “Big Game Big Give” event, a fundraiser for The Giving Back Fund, were Marshall Faulk, the Hall of Fame running back and NFL Network analyst (and one-time Colts star), big-armed ex-quarterback Warren Moon (the first African-American signal caller elected to the pro football HOF) , and popular former Pacer Derrick McKey.

We spoke briefly with each of them. Here’s a rundown:

Faulk: Not the friendliest. And a bit disheveled.

Moon: Eats at Mo’s or  St. Elmo when he’s in Indy, because he “likes steak and good wine.”

McKey: Lives in town, and is enjoying the good life while spending time with his four kids. “I was smart with my money,” he says.
