Athletes/Celebrities you've met

[bbaker]

Nice Chad! J Cole is on the top of the rap game right now imo.

Ah gotcha Cube. Sounds awesome still.

 

[Anytime23]

I met a handful of WWF wrestlers.

Before they were famous I met Greg Olsen and a handful of 2007 draft prospects and Brandon Flowers. I've also met Chris Carter, Scottie Pippen(my fav), Jeff Goldbloom, Ervin Baldwin, Nick Lachey(no homo), Antoine Walker, LMFAO....shit I know I'm missing some.

 

[Anytime23]

Oh and I'm friends with a guy named Jason Chery who scored TDs for the Packers and Panthers in the pre-season(s) in 09 and 10.

 

[Anytime23]

Oh yeah Evander Ziggy Hood. I almost met Troy Palomalu or however you spell it.

 

[Shawon0Meter]

I met a handful of WWF wrestlers.

oh yeah that reminds me I met the Big Boss Man lol

 

[Anytime23]

I had a gym coach who looks like big boss man.

I met D-lo Brown, Scotty Too Hotty, Trish Stratus , Jeff Hardy, that emo looking guy Gideon or Mineon idk he sucked anyways, Mankind, those douchey prep guys that used to follow Shane McMahon, the Dudley sister whos name I can't remember

And bodybuilder Darrem Charles.

 

[Jysen]

My attorney advised me not to list the female celebrities Ive, uh, 'met'.

 

[DCguy]

I have met Rod Stickland, Umaga, Undertaker, Dave Chappell, Usher, Keri Washington, Tony Gonzales, Darrell Green, Chris Samuels, and Art Monk.

 

[GaelicSoxFan]

Met John Cusack at the old Comiskey Park. He was there promoting "Eight Men Out" and got his autograph. I was surprised at how short he was. I was taller than him and I was in junior high at the time. I guess it was because up until "Eight Men Out" he'd usually played older brother-type roles like in "Stand By Me".

Phil Mickelson at the Western Open sometime in the 1990s.

Also met WWE Superstar The Big Show (real name: Paul Wight) at an autograph signing back when he was The Giant in WCW. TV, even high definition, does not do that man justice when it comes to his size. Damn near crushed my hand when he shook it.

Bold #1. Mean Street Posse. Pete Gas and Rodney sucked, but Joey Abs was alright.

Bold #2. Stacy Keibler. I remember one time on Raw she was wearing an ankle brace. Jerry Lawler likened that to a giraffe with a stiff neck .

 

[scottiepippen1994]

Horace Grant and Scottie Pippen in January of 1994.

 

[cubsneedmiracle]

Ditka when the Bears had preseason games at U of I. He was riding in a golf cart. Got out right in front of me and my father.. Shook our hands and said "enjoy the game fellas"

Len Kasper during BP was walking the upper deck.. Was with a buddy and he talked to us for a few minutes.

Kurt Warner was dining in the same restaurant at Disney last summer.

Matt Stairs and a few other Cubs players at the time in STL.

 

[brett05]

Had dinner with Andre Dawson. He was so awesome. Actually melted my Cub bias that night.

 

[Iwritecode]

Besides local TV and radio celebs that don't really count, I've never met a celebrity just out randomly somewhere. Considering I live in Rockford, I doubt I ever will.

The only ones I've actually "met" are the guys I've talked to at Soxfest. Most were just the standard couple of seconds that it takes them to sign their name but I did get to actually interact with a few in the hotel bar where they start to loosen up a little.

The ones I remember most are Joe Crede, Aaron Rowand, Carl Everett, Minnie Minoso, BlackJack McDowell and Kelly Wunsch. Kelly actually sat down at our table and talked with us for a few minutes. He played for the Beloit Snappers for a little while and remembers playing in Rockford a few times. Back when we actually had an MLB minor league team.

Hawk and DJ actually came around from behind the autograph table to take a picture with me.

I sat and talked with Ozzie Guillen Jr. for a few minutes as we were waiting to leave the hotel.

Also the day they announced the name change from Comiskey Park to US Cellular Field I had just handed Konerko a ball to sign and a reporter came up and started asking him questions about it. So I got to stand a few feet away while he conducted the interview.

I also got an autograph from Bill Engvall. We went to see him in concert and he said he'd stay and sign autographs for anyone that that wanted one. We were literally the last people in line so we got to chat with him for a few minutes.

 

[inactiveuser1]

Matt Pickens- in a youth tournament I played in, he was sighing autographs

Derrick Rose- some alumni from my school with serious connections took our whole soccer team downtown in a limo and we met Derrick rose then went to dinner (but not with him he had places to be)

Brian Urlacher- anyone ever been to Bob Chinns Restauraunt? Really great seafood place. Ranked like 4th best in the USA, well my family went there like 3 years ago when our relatives from Ireland came in and Urlacher was two tables over with a bunch of family I think, we waved and he was really nice and came over to say hi and hi five my cousin who was wearing a bears shirt, really nice guy.

Calen Carr- last year I met him after a game and he signed my jersey and took a picture with me, if I can find where my mom hid it, I'll post it :tongue:

Wilman Conde- met him after the game when I met Carr, only got an autographed picture

Collins John- same as Conde, but is bastard stole our sharpie so I couldnt get more autos :fist:

Marco Pappa- high fives him but no auto thanks to Collins John

The Chicago Shamrox Team- after a game I went to like 4-5 years atom they let fans onto the field and I got everyone's autograph

Horst Mickeler- ( don't know if I spelled that right) he used to play soccer on the German national team and he also designed the US national teams current logo, I know him because he works out at Bally total fitness with my grandpa :lol:

Brian McBride- I did a charity 3-3 soccer tournament and the winners prize was an hour long training session with McBride and then Pizza party with him after....needless to say we won :yeah:

Toni Moeki- ( again not sure on spelling)tight end at Iowa and now the KC Chiefs he played high school football at the school where my uncle coaches basketball and he played basketball as a player on my uncles team so I've talked with him once or twice

Illinois Men's Basketbalk Team- I don't know what year because I was really young but Dee Brown was a Frosh at the time, I was at the airport to go to Florida with my grandparents and we walked right by the Illini team waiting to board there plane to go somewhere, high dived dee brown and said hi to some no name guy

Brandon Paul- he was a senior at Warren high school and I followed him big time and one night our football team played his in the state playoffs but I didn't go because family was in town, so I'm at Portillos and I go to get extra napkins and I see a guy in a Warren sweatshirt so I ask him if he knows the score and he turns around and it's freaking Brandon Paul he was wearing a Warren basketball sweatshirt and was way taller than me:lol:
