Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[gordonr24]

Shopping at the local Costco here in Memphis. Standing in the checkout line directly next to me is Steven Seagal.

And while shopping at Academy Sports, I spotted Tim Howard in the shoes section, exactly 6 months after his famous World Cup performance. I shook his hand.

I've met a few famous people. I met Dooley one time.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I also met Peyton one time when he was a senior. That was cool.

I hear @BaldBiker babysat George Washington.

I have broken bread with the Newt. Any questions?

I love Gingrich. He should be the guy that the GOP trots out to every debate. Unbeatable

 

[you]

I met Daddy Yankee

Gingrich is no @bignewt

I’ve met 2 of the top 100 NFL players of all time. Jerry Rice on a flight from Atlanta to Columbus, MS. Nice guy wasn’t as tall as I expected but his hands were massive. Also, John Hannah at a cattle meeting. Built like I fridge in his late 60’s. Didn’t know who he was at first

16” centers too far apart?

No - that's what ours are on. You will feel a slight give, but nothing all that obvious.

Was in D.C. on a early spring break with the kids doing the museum thing (stopped off in Knoxville the day before to watch one of Kiffin's open practices in Neyland and Bryce Brown was in attendance but hadn't signed yet) ... So after dinner one night in D.C. we were in an athletic store getting my wife some shoes and my kids and I watched Al Sharpton and his "girlfriend" (clearly not his wife) try and literally walk out of the store with merchandise not paying for it... He had a long fur coat on and was on his cell... as the employees realized they were walking out, they started running to the door to stop them and I yelled "hey, ..... AL!!).... he whipped around surprised anyone recognized him and by then the store clerks had caught up and were asking his girlfriend to come back in side to pay... It was EPIC!!!!

Day 7 with no commitment.

THERE WAS GOLF TODAY?!?!?

Skins match for charity. Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson vs. Rickie Fowler and Matthew Wolff. Was on NBC.

 

[SLICKYINC]

Met Les Miles at one of my daughters softball tournaments. He came and hung out with the dads drinking in the parking lot. Good times.

Had 2 chance encounters with Lefty Driesell (HOF Basketball coach for Maryland for you youngins). Once at Cheese Cake Factory in Atlanta and 2nd time in a Hotel Elevator in Baltimore. I had not liked him ever since Maryland knocked one of Don Devoe's teams out of the NCAA Tourney. He changed my mind as he was a really nice guy to talk to. I had a UT shirt on and he asked me how good we would be that year. That meeting was prior to Eric Ainge's senior year... so I told him we should be pretty good. He was in Baltimore for a Family wedding. He was taking some BB recruits to dinner in Atlanta when he was GSU coach.

I may take up celebrity stalking as a new hobby.

Speaking of hobbies, I had a Safety and First Aid class with Marion Hobby at UT

I got to spend a weekend with my friend back then who was a relief pitcher for the Braves. That Sunday I sat in the media room with about 80% of the team in there. Some ex pro football player was speaking. I was like a kid in a candy store. Just couldn't believe I was sitting there with all these guys. Wonderful memories.

I had it on and couldn't get into it. For some reason, it just didn't feel right. I'll be glad when it's a full field event in June. I'm sure the match next Sunday will be pretty much the same or worse. I hope Manning and Brady can at least hit some quality shots.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

One of the best GIFS of all time. Used it so many times

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Met Martina Navratalova coming out of the Wild horse Saloon in Nashville one night several years ago.

No luck in hitting on her. Lol

Don't they both have a sub 5 handicap?

 

[JCP201]

I use to watch Baseball all the time, but after the strike I lost interest. That said, I would love to watch a Braves baseball game right now.

 

[Batman1948]

I think Brady is an 8 and Manning is a 6 but that doesn't mean anything when the entire golf world is watching and you're on a course that you don't play everyday.

 

[Vols4us]

Don't they both have a sub 5 handicap?

Close. Manning is supposed to be a 3.5 and Brady an 8.

 

[Orange Studs]

Don't know if any of you remember Marvin Webster "The Human Eraser" played for the Knicks and Settle but spent a week with him many many years ago in Colorado. I played one on one basketball with him and it was hilarious. He was 7 2 and would stand flat footed putting every shot I tried back in my face. lol We played tennis and let me tell ya he was good and when he served it looked like it was coming down from this tall tower. He was the nicest person and several years later I was in Bible in Dallas TX and they came in to play the Mavericks. I called him at the Hyatt and he left me and my friend tickets at the Will Call window. We talked a bit before the game. Again another great memory.

I met a former Vols lineman over the wknd at a friends wedding. He didnt have one good word to say about Butch. Had some great stories and pics on his phone. Said Dobbs is exactly the way he is percieved to be, AK is a super low key guy, JJ is that guy, and literally everyone loves Pruitt
