HooverOutlaw Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 In 1991 I went to New Orleans for a family wedding. Stayed downtown at the Hilton. That night the hotel bar was showing the Evander Holyfield George Foreman fight. They charged like $10 to watch. We were sitting watching the undercard fights and in walks OJ Simpson. Before the main event he walked around to every table met everyone. He came and ask our table how are and who do think is gonna win. I told him Holyfield because he was from Alabama and we are too. He said hope we a great time shook everybodies hand went to the next table. Never would have dreamed the murders 2 years later would have happened. He was very easy going and very polished.

ATLien12x Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 I met Jon Jones (UFC) in Atlanta out at dinner when he was in town for UFC 145 against Rashad Evans. Took pictures with him and shook his hand. Encounter only lasted a few minutes but it was cool experience for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawgGoneIt Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Just about every current NASCAR driver and many of the owners. Probably the single most famous and the coolest would be Richard Petty. Most fun to be around would be Clint Bowyer. He's a clown just like me. We joked with each other just like we knew each other. Pretty cool guy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDrop Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 George H. W. Bush. Years ago I stopped in the parking lot of a High’s dairy store in Glen Echo, MD. While sitting in my car a black SUV pulled into the space next to me. I started to open my car door but the door to the SUV opened almost at the same time. Someone got out and with a hand motion signaled that I should stay in my car. He looked straight into my eyes while motioning. I closed the door and looked to see who this was. The rear door of the SUV opened and the former President of the United States stepped out. He walked into High’s. My window was open and I couldn’t have been more than two or three feet away when he walked by. The Secret Service agent never took his eyes off of me.

Bones Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Jackie Joyner Kersey - great story Curtis Granderson (MLB) - some of my buddies used to kick it with him at UIC Antonio Davis (NBA) - tried to eat a meal at Red Lobster in peace, I sent kids to him with pens and paper Randy Brown (Bulls) - Used to come into TGIFridays all the time when I worked there right after college Rodney McCrae (Bulls) - met at a weird country western bar that turned top 40 after midnight. Sat and took shots and learned insider stories about the 90's Bulls GLC (on Kanye songs "Spaceships" & "Drive Slow") - not that great a story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawgGoneIt Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 I didn't even think about Saxby Chambliss. I guess I didn't think of him as being famous exactly, but yeah, he's on my list. Also James Goad, Reaper from Street Outlaws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty cool guy. How the hell could I forget meeting "The King"? My mom had an inside connect who worked at Talladega. I had the pleasure of meeting him at one of his driving experiences there when I was too young to get behind the wheel. I also met John Force as a real youngster at the Gatornationals in the 90s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
