how many pro athletes have you met?

[Po pimp]

Quite a few Illini players (basketball and football), but D-Will was the only one who made a damn of himself that I knew.

I count my blessings every day now remembering walking past him at Chik Fil A with the pounceys . Never met Tebow either, I've walked past him but dude prolly NEVER went out his whole time here

I use to see Tebow all the time near Turlington. I remember his freshman year, first or second game of the season, he was walking up to people asking if they were going to the game

Was at an Applebee's last year and Allen Iverson was in a booth next to me and he dined and dashed so I covered his tab, didn't want the waitress to get in trouble

I was in an elevator with Hines Ward randomly. shyt was random as fukk. He was cool though. When i see celebrities i speak, but i dont talk to them or ask for autographs.

Straight up, I grew up in the same city as Larry Fitz. We used to have a real beef back in HS. He went to the private school a mile away from my HS and our teams always played each other. Him and his brother Marcus were some straight bytches back then!

 

[Brozay]

the people with the massive lists, with A-list athletes listed everywhere ... provide some fukking context to when you 'met' please

anyways... Bo Jackson, Charles Oakley, John Paxson, Alex Brown really the only ones that come to mind (where I actually had a conversation with them)

 

[old_timer]

probably 30+ total
classiest was maurice cheeks (airport, 45-60 second interaction) - down to earth, comfortable with himself
shyttiest was ryan leaf (hotel lobby, 5-10 second interaction) - borderline psycho, but now we know why...

Hines used to live in an apartment complex I worked as concierge at, til his career ended. Dude was a dikk

There were a couple more minor Steelers who lived there too. One of them was named Chris Carter, apparently he's on the Bengals now. Don't really have any good stories, sadly...allegedly James Harrison was knocking down a PAWG there (and smoking cigars in the lobby on some shyt) but that was before my time. McCutcheon used to live there with fukking Lastings Milledge, too.
