What famous athletes have you ever met? How did you meet them?
I once met Joe Flacco at the Baltimore, Maryland Airport. I had been in Washington D.C for like 4 days, and my flight back to Detroit was delayed an hour and 20 minutes. I met him and got a picture with him an hour after the flight should have taken off.

When I was still a lawyer I represented some NFL players after they got sued for paternity. I can't really reveal which ones, but some were surprisingly dumb. I wanted to ask them how in the heck they could remember the routes to run on their plays, but it seemed rude. Anyway, even though most of the paternity suits were bogus, many were not. Many were valid. That means lots of child support.

I've met too many to name. I have been in the casino biz for 20 years. My Uncle is also a big shot in the Pac-10 and met a few through him. Also my cousin is Joe Ferguson- QB of the bills in the 70's and 80's. The last one I remember meeting was Bo Jackson. He works for a casino company. Damn- I almost forgot! I just met Big Ben about 5 months ago. He came to his sisters basketball game. She plays for the OU Lady Sooners who went to the Final Four.

I am related to Mark Mcguire. Ha ha. But I really am. But like, just cousin why. It is a big chain how. And not by blood. I was once flying to Dallas Texas with my dad and 14 year old brother. I was like, 10 or 11 at the time. And this dude got no the plane and my dad asked him if he was whoever and he said no and my dad said sorry. And my dad was like "He looked like a baseball player." And then when we got off the guy was next to us and my dad was like "Hye. You are not so and so you are Bobby Glich." And he was. I didn't know him but he was famous. And my dad was like "Do people think you are so and so aot?" And he said ya. So for like a half an hour he talked to me and my brother and my dad. And about my brother playing baseball. It was pretty cool. Also, my brother, when he was like 12, he met Vladmir Guerro from the Angels. He met other players to and went in the dug out and locker room. He ogt tons of stuff signe dand he got to stand in the feild with him.

In 2005 i went to a chicago bears game with the Full back at the time ( Marc Edwards) father. He was able to get us access to the locker room at the end of the game. I met Thomas Jones, Urlacher, and of course Marc Edwards. Thomas Jones really wouldn't give anyone the time of day, just stayed in the corner with a group of thugs that must have been local because they gained access to the locker room as well. And also i met Lebron James when he was in high school, my uncle was one of his conditioning coaches from st. v, and my cousins attended st. v with lebron as well. I didnt get to carry on a real conversation with him though

I've met quite a few. I used to be a bartender/bar manager in several cities and have met most of them that way. Once removed Steve McNair and his entire party of 20 because he refused to move his limo from in front of our main entrance. Duece McAllister used to come to my bar in Jackson, Ms. in the offseason and drink Bacardi 151. He would sit at a booth by himself mostly. When I lived in Denver, Champ Bailey and Reuben Droughns used to come to our place often because Reuben was dating one of my servers. These two guys were always wasted on the nuggz! That's just a few, there have been many more. We got a lot of Nuggets, Rockies, and Avalanche players there, too. The most famous was John Elway, though. He was opening a steak house in Cherry Creek and came into our place "scouting" and told our GM he was just looking at the places he was about to put out of business. He is a real asshole in person. Very obnoxious guy.

I met Eddie George outside a hotel in Vegas before the Rose Bowl in 1996. It was after his rookie year in the NFL. I met Archie Griffin a bunch of times in Columbus. I have met Hop Cassidy(a Heisman Trophy winner from the 50s). I met Jim Lachey(a multiple pro bowler for the Redskins) at Ohio stadium. I used to play basketball against Antonio Daniels when I was in High School. He has played in the NBA for a long time, but never lived up to his number 6 pick. Kijana Carter used to go to middle school with my brother, and I met him many times at track meets they both ran at. I sat next to MMA's champion Mark Coleman at a bar once for about an hour. Really nice guy, consider he could rip my arm off and beat me to death with it. I met a lot more than I thought I did when I started to answer this question.

I went to Hawaii with one of my girl friends and we went out to the Oceans club in Waikiki. I met Junior Seau. I didn't know who he was (he had just "retired" from Miami) but I thought he was hot so I started shaking my butt on the dance floor to get his attention. It worked. :) HE asked me to dance, asked if he could kiss me and gave me his phone number. What a trip!!!!! I also met Mick "Mankind" Foley (if you count him as an athlete) at a Cancer charity in Mass and I met Joe Andruzzi at a work function of one of my friends. He let me "try on" his humongous super bowl ring... !! :)
