sports, hollywood, political, etc.....also list the ones you've met who seemed to be good peeps.
 
Drew Bledsoe:  complete douchebag when I met him at Pats training camp back in 1998....it was during "fans day" no less at Patriots training camp...he comes walking out for the afternoon session, and a very large group of young kids are lined up against the gate where they are supposed to so they can meet players and get autographs...he realizes all these kids are standing there, and i'm sure he started thinking about the fact its "fan appreciation day" and he is REQUIRED to mingle with the fans, he throws a little temper tantrum and hurls his helmet like 20 feet all pissed off that he is being inconvenianced to sign autographs for 20 minutes...definately left a bad taste in my mouth about this asshole that day....with the brady situation, trade, etc...I think he got what he deserved.
 
Kevin Mchale:  what an asshole this guy is.....i'm at the georgia dome a few years ago for the SEC tourney....he's there as a scout i'm sure looking at talent, he's president of the T-Wolves at the time...i'm from Boston area, and a huge, longtime Celts fan especially from those days of Bird, Mchale, DJ, Parish, etc...I grab a pen and my game ticket-stub and I see him leave his seat and walk up toward the concession...its an empty hallway basically, he was just strolling along, not on the phone, not with anyone in a conversation, not going in the mens room...I figure its a PERFECT time to just say hi real quick and have him sign my ticket...I say "hi kevin, i'm a longtime celts fan, especially from your era i'm from the boston area, do you think you can sign my ticket?"....he makes this face like I just told him he's being sued for a million dollars, swipes the ticket out of my hand and scribbles his name, then basically flings it back at me and walks off without even an expression, nothing...he did sign it, which I guess other pricks wouldn't even do, but the way he did it, I can tell you now that he is a complete jerk-off.
 
Andre Tippett:  his daughter and mine both play AAU girls basketball, and he lives near a huge sports complex outside the boston area....this is where i've bumped into this prick a couple times, and I learned my lesson that you don't even bother saying hello to this man...this guy is not friendly....he will not even shake your hand if you put it out to him....he's another one who just gets pissed off if you recognize him....god forbid.
 
Cam Neely:  this guy is the salt of the earth...I bumped into him in bar in boston called "daddy's place" back in 1991 after a game the B's lost to the Sabres....ths guy was drinking all night, accepting any autograph, accepting any drink that anyone put in front of him, and any person in the entire building that stopped to talk to him, he would stop and have a full conversation with...this was a very solid dude.
 
Craig Sagar:  put aside his annoying courtside reporting and awful colored suits....this guy is a fking party animal ....i've hung out with him twice in Atlanta because he was business partners in a chain of restaurants down there with a couple friends of mine...this guy LOVES to drink beers all night, and he's a loud, funny and colorful person....we were high fiving watching beautiful girls walking by us inside turner field, this guy is a fking blast to hang out with...and i'll say, too, his wife is a fine looking piece of ass.

I was about 7 years old when I ran into Gordon Lightfoot in a record store in Toronto back in the mid 70's.  I didn't know who he was but my old man was a huge fan.  Anyway, my dad gave me a Gordon Lightfoot album from the rack and told me to get Gordon Lightfoot's autograph on it.

When I approached him with the album in hand and asked him if he could sign it the douchebag says to me, and I quote.... "Why would I sign this for you you little fucker?"

I guess he hadn't chased his dragon yet that day.

I met Clint Eastwood at a restaurant in New York City.  i was with some hotshots, so they asked him to come to our table to meet everyone.  he shook my hand and said "it's a pleasure to meet you."  HAHAHAHAHAHA!  a pleasure to meet me????  i was in awe.  what a great guy.  we shot the shit for a little.  his hot ass daughter alison was there too, i actually focused on talking to her because the big shots i was with wanted to talk to clint.  so i talked to that hot piece of ass for about 15 miuntes (she was in playboy). 

the worst celeb i've met was Roger Clemens.  Total Dick.  I was a little kid at Fenway and he refused to sign anything for anyone, while all the other players were taking their time to be nice. 

I met Payne Stewart before he passed.  RIP.  he was a class act.

Lots of golfers that i've met that are all great people: Johnny Miller, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Lee Trevino, Davis Love III, Fuzzy Zoeller, Bernhard Langer, Billy Andrade, Ian Baker Finch, Mark Calcavecchia, Paul Azinger, and more.

Chris Simms  Great guy, meet him at the Nuggets game recently. Very down to earth.

 

Randy Moss  No surprise there, complete asshole!

 

Carmelo Anthony  I know a lot of people dont care for this guy cause of his track record, but he is a nice guy. Meet both him and his fiancee. Good guy, eventually hooked it up with a pair of tixs to the game.

 

Jerry Rice  Very nice! The "nice to meet you" type.

Brad Paisley  - total jackass was with my girlfirend (a big fan of is before the incident, now can't stand him either) at a concert of his when we were 16 we saw him walking around backstage after the concert so I went up and introduced myself and my girl and he coulnd't have been more of a prick.

 

Hockey Players in General  - I could go on for hours with the different hockey players I have met, they are all great guys, nobody is nicer and cooler then hockey players.

 

Dave Attell  - meet him in a bar after he did a comedy routine on campus, I was 18 at the time and had a few drinks with him, the guy is freaking hilarous. I offered to buy him a drink and he woulnd't let me. Guy seriously took care of us.

A few encounters while bartending,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

 

Rick Ankiel:  I hate the cardinals,,,,,,,,,,,but this dude is cool as cool can be.  He hung out at the club I worked out while he was still in his---um um ---lets say "party stages"--- friendly as shit--------and most importantly--------probably the best tipper i've ever came across.

 

Pauly Shore:  Piece of Shit

 

Bill Murray:  As friendly as you would expect him to be

 

Chris Pronger:  Jumped being a bar and started pissing in a trash can,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Barry Manilow   Such a prick he had curtains put up from his dressing room to the stage so no one would talk to him.

 

Gallagher  Very hands on with the props and actually helped clean things after the show was over.  But a very, very bitter man.  Just pissed at the world.  Told us when the lakers won the 1st title with Shaq, he was watching it and felt a pain in his chest.  He went ahead and watched the rest of the game.  Went to the hospital afterwards and found out he had a heart attack.

 

Penn and Teller  Actually ate with the backstage crew and shot the shit like he was one of the guys.  BTW, Teller wouldn't shut up.  He talked the whole time.  I kid you not.

 

Bill Cosby  Came backstage early and watched the 2nd half of the Eagles game with us.

 

B.B King  Sat in the back with everyone and actually let me strap Lucille on.

 

There were plenty of others, but as a general rule the older stars were much more down to earth than the younger ones.

 

BTW at the theatre I was a show day hired gun to babysit the computer systems.  Those were good days, too bad I didn't take pics and get some autographs from all of them.  But I guess that was the reason I had so much access and got to interact with them so much.  Acted like I didn't care and they all loved that.

Some friend of mine worked at the LV Hilton and swore up and down that Barry Manilow was hands down the nicest celeb to have ever stayed there. Slobbered all over themselves talking about him. I guess like everything it just depends on the circumstances when you meet people.

Angelo Mosca........Would he be better known as King Kong Mosca?  That Mosca ?
MaineRoad says:
06/16/09 05:07PM
Been around a ton, and most have been basically ok.  Assholes?

 

Howard Cosel.  I was bummed, because I was something of a fan.  He didn't know squat about the event he was covering and thought he was above speaking to anyone.

 

Pete Rose.  Just a scuzball.  Flat out.

 

Johnny Bench.  A prick. 

 

Pete Axthelm - apparently hadn't bathed in, well, a while.  Was otherwise a nice guy.  He died not long thereafter.

 

Josh Beckett - in it for the money and nothing else.  No redeeming qualities aside from his right arm. 

 

Ben Rothlesberger - (lives in my town) just an odd duck; I'd think he had some sort of personality disorder on the autism spectrum if he wasn't such a good athlete.  Other odd ducks from Ohio include Mike Schmidt (who, to be fair, was always ok to me) and Jack Nicklaus.

 

Wally Backman - asshole; came to a kids event all liquored up and swore a lot.  Nice.

 

As a general rule, hockey players and jockeys are great.  Baseball players and football players are more hit or miss.

 

Especially good guys (in my experience):

 

Jerome Bettis

Nomar

Greg Lukinski

Dean Smith (and I used to call him "Satan")

Dick Allen (who had apparently mellowed by the time I met him)

Mario Lemieux

Peter Zezel (RIP)

Bernie Parent / Gary Dornhoffer / Gene Hart

Non-sports good guys (to me, at least):

 

Tommy Stinson (Replacements)

Bob Mould (Husker Du)

Jesse Jackson (and I'm not Democrat - he was a hoot)

P.J. O'Roarke

Mark E. Smith (The Fall)

Robert Bork

Teddy Lehman  I was actually wearing his Jersey and he bought me drinks at Chelis chilli bar.

 

Kid Rock  Met him twice. Hella cool guy.

 

Derek Jeter  Met him at the Double olive in Dearborn. The Tigers had just whopped there ass and he was hella cool. I knew the Bartender and Got a free drink for him (even though he dosen't need it) but he was super cool.

 

James Hall and Shaun Rogers  Both used to be a bar I would go to on Thursdays. They always had lions with them but they didn't act better then everybody.

 

David Boston  I saw him at my job one time and he was down to earth. I thought he would be a dick but he was actually cool.

I met Floyd Mayweather a few years ago, really great guy to talk to.  This was before the DLH fight and he was nice as could be.  I met him in the middle of Caesar's Palace too, and he stopped shopping to take a picture with us and shoot the shit.  My friend who was always skeptical of him being that nice, also met him a few months ago, and then agreed that he was just as down to earth and happy go lucky.

That same trip to Vegas was for the first Gator BCS Championship, and at the game I met Alex Smith (QB Utah, 49ers).  I thanked him for beating Denver SU in the last week of the season. . .  I don't think he got it, but otherwise really nice guy and was happy to shoot the shit.

Met all kinds of bands. . .  only real dickhead I met was the drummer from Mudvayne.  Les Claypool was probably the most famous one I met, and he was a really cool and genuinely down to earth guy.

Paul McCartney was a class act. Bobby Clarke of the Philadelphia Flyers was great too. Queen Elizabeth II wasnt too pleasant but I heard afterwards that she was angry and perturbed about something.

Floyd Mayweather and I get our gas pumped at the same place. Awesome guy. I said "hey champ" to him and he said hi. He's well know for being a big tipper and overall great guy.

 

Ahmad Rashad - saw him after the 2007 NBA ASG, complete dick. He should be thankful anyone recognizes him.

Got pics and bull shitted a bit. It was te practice round an right before tiger's head swelled up so he was actually cool

Alex Ovechkin - saw him at Fallsview Casino in Niagara - he would have been 19 at the time and still a newbie. I forgot what he was playing but he had a massive crowed around him. My buddy went up, shook his hand and wished him GL next season. Great guy, smiling non-stop.

Rick Mercer - great guy. I used to work in high end fashion and he was passing through and ended up chatting for a bit. Just as nice in person as he is on tv

Jonathan Torrens (J Rock on Trailer Park Boys etc) - same thing as rick, really nice, mild mannered dude.

Gord Downey (Tragically Hip) - my brother ran into him in a student bar downtown. They said he couldnt have been nicer.

Al Strachan (Hockey Night in Canada) - my buddy bought this guy a beer at a bar and they talked hockey for like 30 min. Apparently, great guy but a lil off on his predictions (said Avery was going to the habs - or my buddy was just fukin with me)

Mike Myers - I have heard from multiple ppl in the movie biz that this guy is horrible. Yelling at randoms on set and I heard its getting worse as he gets older. They figure its because the few movies he does get are complete shit now.

I'll try and think of more...

Michael Douglas - real nice, on his way out of the hotel, stopped to take pics and autographs

Jennifer Garner - always had a thing for her and nice athletic body BUT i can see how people say she is very stand-offish and bitchy, she was with her kids but wanted nothing to do with the attention she was gettin'

Paul Coffey Great guy we used to have a spot at the Devils arena where we can sneak into the locker room after the games. But we would wait for the players to get out. Paul talked to me for about 15 minutes after the game while we were waiting. GREAT GUY. All of the Devils were also great guys

Bruce Driver. Went to his hosue for Pasta once and used to take us to Pauly Pizza after home games. Well about 20 tims anyway. Wayne Greatsky and Super Pario were a big time star in mky eyes too. My young eyes.

Mickey Mantle. Actaully waited for me to buy a  Pen so e can sign an autograph

Reggie Jackson
Actaully told a kid e woudnt sign an autograph becuase it wasnt that stupid swing machine he endosed. When the 9 year old said it was for his Dads birthday his answer was Who cars kid. Im here to sell my Item no give free Auto..........

Also Tony Siracusa. Made fun of My Condition but I laughed no big deal. I did tell him once to please stop swearing. He was making an ass of himself. He said hey I have TS> HAHAHAHAHA. He was happy to accept discount coupon I had for him tho. All in all he expected people to bow to him but im not like that. The only guy I ever met that actaully intimitated me was the stardom of Wayne Gretzky., However he couldnt have been cooler.

Warren Moon  At the Super Bowl in Atlanta he walks in with 2 blonde hookers and almost knocks over my buddy. My buddy says hey Warren can I get your autograph for my kid? He says stop bothering me can't you see I'm busy . I say give me that bar napkin I'll sign that douchebag's name for you, your kid will never know. Moon says you can't do that and I say obviously either can you. My buddy says can you give a Joe Montana also. Hope the kid never tries to sell those autographs on ebay.

it was at an ice house (like a old fashioned convenience store but with indoor and outdoor picnic tables where you can sit around and drink beer and play dominoes or cards-some have pool tables) Anyway he was in a stationwagon with about 7 or 8 people.Got out to use the pay phone while his buds went in to buy some wine and beer.Me and a coupla friends followed him back to the car and started talking to him.His eyes were dilated and  bright red and the car reeked of dope.We talked to him for about fifteen or twenty minutes, shook his hand. He drank about half a bottle of cheap wine while we talked.I can still hear that voice to this day...

I was in Coconut Grove when Antrell Rolles class graduated.  I plowed thru him like i was Ronnie Lott ,on accident because i wasn't paying attention.  Chasing down a smoking little Cuban piece of ass.  i was quick to apologize, and i pointed at what i was chasing, wished him luck in Arizona, and he told me thanks and good luck

I might not of recognized him because i was hammered but he had a huge diamond earrings, and i don't know if it was a friend, entourage, or body guard but a big ass black dude was right there ready to handle his 'light work' for him

where do I start

Drew Carey- just like he is on the show, talks a lot and very approachable. 

Ted Danson - Not that talkative but really nice

including other cast members from Becker, Alex Desert is the coolest. 

John Stamos- Very nice guy, introduces himself and doesn't forget names. 

Billy Drago - I was on a show with him discussing the Untouchables, we hit it off pretty quick talking about the Chicago Mob.

Henry Winkler- I couldn't tell if he was really that nice or if he was excited that he had a fan! 

Ed McMahon - Cool guy, he'll talk all night about the Carson days. 

AC Lyles - You guy's may not know who he is but he's considered the ambassador of Hollywood,  he produced shows and movies including Bonanza.  My office was on the first floor from his, he'd stop in every morning and just go on and on about celebs in the old days.  Carey Grant, James Cagney, Howard Hughes, all his old cronies.   AC became a good friend of mine. 

Kelsie Grammar - never really got to talk to him much because he was always stuck on himself, he seemed pompus to me

  John Mahoney was the coolest. 

the entire cast of star trek voyager, Jeri Ryan is really nice and Ethan Phillips is the man.   Kate Mulgrew was not very friendly. 

Lynyrd Skynyrd,   I was back stage with them and they all gathered around a shot the shit with me before the show.  All great guys.  Sad Billy Powel is gone he was funny. 

Alice Cooper- I bumped into him in the beer line at a Coyotes game, he'll talk to anyone, really nice guy. 

George Wendt "Norm"- nice guy, I also met John Ratzenberger and Kirstie Alley.  I met them all during the ceremony for Ted Dansons Hollywood star, I was standing right there when they honored him.   I already knew Ted by that time. 

Kevin Smith - I don't know if he just didn't want to be where he was or if he's just a dick, but he was a dick the day I met him.

Jason Mewes -  Jay is Jay, if you watch Jay and Silent Bob let me tell you, Jason Mewes is Jay he's not acting that is who he is.   he's a funny dude. the others are cool too, Scott Mosier and Brian ohalloran. 

Snoop Dogg- yeah he was in the Paramount parking lot with two guys that looked like his body guards, I didn't really meet him but walked by and we just did the friendly acceptable nod.  I'm sure he's a cool guy. 

If you guys ever watched wrestling, I was at a wrap party for this show, me and a couple other guys were just hanging out and drinking beer with Al Snow.  My buddy kept on asking him to body slam him in the pool, so Al finally gives in and does it.. next thing you know there's a line of people wanting to be body slammed into the pool, so Al just slammed them all in one at a time  

There's a lot more maybe I'll post them later. 
Sharkysden says:
06/17/09 11:50PM
Oh yeah I almost forgot, Bill Murray, he didn't talk much but he's really nice, his brothers too, they're all cool guy's.

Oh forgot one, forgot many actually but this one is good.

I met Tony Clifton, funny because he's my avatar. 

When they were shootng man on the moon Tony pulled up in a golf cart with some other guy.   To this day I'm still not sure if it was Jim Carey or Bob Zamuda in the Clifton costume.

Sorry boys, forgot to mention something important.

My mom is the financial banking officer (PBO) for Sidney Crosby's family. Sidney's mom would come in every week asking how I was, and my mom would always ask how Sidney was. We kind of grew up together, even though I was a tad bit older than him.

No I get to see the cup!!!!!!!!!!! I am freaking!!!!!!!!!

Jamie Carrol (not big time celeb but is a utility player for the Indians now I believe) was as nice a person as I've ever met.  Met him at a charity event in my home town for a former MLB player Brad Wilkerson.  I talked to him for a good 15 mins about everything from him being recently engaged to what life is like in the BIGS.  Very friendly and down to earth.

 

Brad Wilkerson who's a former player for the Expos/Nats/Rangers/Mariners/Blue Jays is a very nice person as well.  My father and I went to Montreal to see the Expos and Phillies play back in 2002 or so and yelled at him after a Friday night game.  He came and chatted with us and we mentioned we were from Owensboro, KY which is his home town.  He gave us his phone number and we called him Saturday morning where he met us at a fancy downtown Montreal restaraunt, got us through the line without waiting, ate with us and bought our meals.  Heard some cool stories about typical days being a MLB starting outfielder.  Told us that while the Expos played 20 games in Puerto Rico that year for their "home games" the players were given their typical $75 I believe for food per day.  Everyone on the Expos would go to McDonalds and buy a couple double cheesburgers and take the remainder of their food money to the casino in their hotel and gamble it away.  Real cool guy

I've met mostly musicians and every one of them has been awesome ... Henry Rollins, Trey Anastasio of Phish, Semisonic... plus a ton of lesser known bands. By far the coolest was Mike Watt.

I've been lucky in that I've only met one "celebrity" who was a total asshole. The actor Tim Daly. Me and two buddies were playing golf at a course where we were members and Tim showed up to play. He was solo so the club pro put him with us so we'd have a full foursome. This was right after Wings went off the air. We knew who he was but we were being cool and treating him just like any other regular guy but he immediately came across like he was better than us and he actually got pissed at us because he thought we didn't recognize him. It only took about 5 minutes until he was like "Don't you people know who I am? I'm Tim DALY.The ACTOR!" So ... being the wiseass I am, I just looked at him and said "Oh yeah ... from that show about the trains, right? I've seen that a couple of times." My friends played along with it and it was hilarious. He lasted 2 holes and then quit. Douchebag.

Ludicrous - saw him in Vegas with a huge entourage - ignored everybody (including his entourage) and was talking on his cell phone the whole time.  Seemed like an unapproachable douche.

 

Tommy Lee - saw his in Vegas same night I saw Ludicrous.  Complete opposite.  Seemed to be having a great time, playing blackjack, conversing with people, smiling. Looked like somebody you'd want to party with.

Gordie Howe....when I was about 8 or 9 years old and Howe was near the end of his NHL career, my cousins and I waited for an hour or more after a Hawks-Wings game at the old Chicago Stadium to get his autograph.

 

Along with Mickey Mantle,  Ernie Banks & Bobby Hull, Gordie was my absolute favorite pro athlete. I idolized him. I read his autobiography about 5 times, and I read everything I could get my hands on about him.

 

I couldn't afford a Howe jersey, plus back then you couldn't even get one in Chicago,  so I bought a red sweatshirt and my buddy, Richie,  painted a big #9 on the back of it and did a good job of putting the Wings logo on the front. I just loved the guy, and I wore that "jersey" day-in and day-out.

 

So after all of the Wings players came out of the locker room, and most signed autographs, Gordie finally emerged. He was big...bigger than any pro sports guy I ever saw. He was bold looking and proud. He was royalty.....Shit...he was GORDIE F'N HOWE!!!!

 

I was so excited and just couldn't run up to him fast enough. I mean, I practically was pissing myself. Then I yell out, "GORDIE, can I please get your autograph?"

 

And Gordie says to me, "My name is MR. HOWE! And I don't sign autographs".

 

With that, the old fucking prick got on the bus. Fuck him and the bullshit about his being Mr. Hockey.

I guess I don't get out much...Jonathan Ogden-one of the nicest people you'll ever meet.  Was always at the downtown Baltimore bars, often times coming in by himself. Would always take a minute or two and chat...

Kevin McHale

was always one of my favorite Celtics. The length of his arms always

amazed me. He was a class act too. Once when I saw the Celtics play in

Miami, I followed their bus back to the hotel and the players were all

standing around signing autographs and posing for photos. McHale got on

his knees for pictures with kids and was really patient with the fans

who wanted to talk with him even though I am sure he was tired from the

game. Good memories of a great Celtics legend. I hope he lands on his

feet and succeeds in life after the Wolves. His unique sense of humor

would make him a great broadcaster. Enjoy the memories. ......................

Jose Feliciano - about 30 years ago (wow, writing that makes me feel old but I was only about 5) boarding a plane. He spoke to me and my brother in Donald Duck's voice.

 

David Wells - at the bar I used to work at. Cool as shit. The guy pounded shots of Southern Comfort.

 

Harold Reynolds - NFL Draft 3 years ago I think. Hung out and shot the shit like he was one of the guys.

 

Deion Sanders - last 3 NFL drafts. Acts like he's better than everbody else. Only person he ever stopped to talk to was a hot chick. It turned out to be pretty funny because the only reason she stopped him was so her boyfriend, who was a big fan, could meet him.

 

NFL Classic Golf Tournament at Upper Montclair CC. Total douches = Kellen Winslow Sr. and Marshall Faulk. Guys that were totally cool = Marcellus Wiley, Joe Klecko, Ray Mickens, Sterling Sharpe.

 

Scott Ian of Anthrax at the Kiev diner in the East Village, NYC. Very cool.

Jr Rider and Laettner when they were Wolves

 

Met some old school pro wrestlers and they were extremely nice, soft spoken guys.  Sgt. Slaughter, and Larry The Axe Hennig.

i think it's kind of funny to read about some different viewpoints about the some celebs that i have met or seen..... somebody on here gave Jerry Rice a thumbs up and Emitt Smith a thumbs down on here.... With my interaction with both of them it would be a HUGE complete opposite... Both were at the Bob Hope Chryster classic Pro am where i was at and jerry rice walked right by a lil kid with a 8 x 11 glossy of him to sign it, then later walked right by his dad not even acknowliing him.. While Emmitt was talking to everybody and signing autographs.. some guy wanted him to sign an action photo of him and emmitt says to him.. never seen this photo before, i'm going to keep it... leave me your address and ill send you a different one... had the gallery laughing... I guess it's all on what day you meet em and what kind of mood they are in....

Drew Bledsoe:  complete douchebag when I met him at Pats training camp back in 1998....it was during "fans day" no less at Patriots training camp...he comes walking out for the afternoon session, and a very large group of young kids are lined up against the gate where they are supposed to so they can meet players and get autographs...he realizes all these kids are standing there, and i'm sure he started thinking about the fact its "fan appreciation day" and he is REQUIRED to mingle with the fans, he throws a little temper tantrum and hurls his helmet like 20 feet all pissed off that he is being inconvenianced to sign autographs for 20 minutes...definately left a bad taste in my mouth about this asshole that day....with the brady situation, trade, etc...I think he got what he deserved.

 

 

Couldn't disagree more.  He used to be my neighbor in his early years with the pats.  He used to have football passes with me and my buddies (we were only about 12 or 13 at the time),  The first time I met him was on halloween, it was the first time i had the balls to go to his door.  I didn't think that he would come to the door but he did dressed as lerch and he gave out king size snickers.  Just a really cool guy. 

 

 One of my buddies crazy mom drove him out of town she used to go knock on his door all the time and ask him to go to our freshman football practices.  She actually had the balls to go to his house and bother him on thanksgiving what a whack job

My brother met Mark McGwire a good while back...he was prob. 14-15yrs old and asked him to autograph his 8x10 outside the hotel. Mark said take a picture, it;'ll last longer. Probably had a syringe in his ass.

I went to an autograph signing for CHRIS BENOIT [the child murderer] and EARL HEBNER's [wwf referee] brother DAVE was there.....after you got the autograph you can get back in line...

 

Benoit must've seen my face 4x's and I got 4 8x10's signed. Didn't talk much, but can honestly say he wasnt an asshole. Just not very talkative.

 

So on the 4th picture, I say hey, let me get EARL's auto too. [thinking he was EARL, pretty sure they were twins.] And I said, "HEY EARL, can I get your autograph", he said "DO I LOOK LIKE EARL??!" and he signed it. I was gonna say "YES actually you do, YOU ARE HIS FUCKING TWIN BROTHER!", but I just took my 8x10 and laughed it off.

Greg Vaughn i saw outside the hotel. I was the first one to run up to him, asked him "can i have your autograph please?" he nicely said "on my way back"...I took his word for it as he was just going to the clothing store up the block.  He came out with 1 bag and signed both of my cards, and signed a few others for a few minutes.

Mark Messier....prick.

 

I went to this auto signing around xmas time. You donate a toy and you get a sticker to meet and get auto's from Mark Messier, Brian Leetch, Manny Malholtra, and one more, cant remember right now. There was a long line outside, cold, and they say, if you get a sticker , DO NOT WORRY, you will get to meet them. Me and my brother got our sticker and felt a little relieved. Well finally we get inside, put our toys in the box, and to our surprise "Mark Messier has left"...........couldnt be more than 25ppl behind me, you couldnt fuckin' stay an extra 20-30 mins? Are you better than Leetch, Manny etc?

I would also encourage those not in the CA. area to make time and come out to Lake Tahoe for the American Century Celeb Golf Tourney next month. Great atmosphere, great sports legends past & present you can meet, if not on the course, in the casinos. Lots to do in Tahoe away from the tournament as well. Have gone every year since it's inception. Highly recommended for you and your significant other.

Bobby Bonds - Played a round with him at Olympic Club in SF for a March of Dimes charity event back in '97. One of the nicest, most genuine gentlemen I've ever met. The man's hand wrapped around mine when shaking hands. Dude was big. RIP Bobby.

 

Steve Perry - He's from the central valley of CA, so it wasn't a big surprise to find him sitting at the Old Fresno Hofbrau. He came across very cool, until too many people started coming up to his table, then got a little abrasive, which was understandable. He had just finished the Raised on Radio tour, and was trying to get his second solo album sewn up.

 

Corey Pavin - Played and won his tournament in Camarillo in '97. Corey took time to talk to whoever came up to him. Would sign autographs all day long. Very approachable and likeable.

 

Ian Gillan, Ian Paice, & Roger Glover from Deep Purple - Great guys, they all had something shitty to say about Ritchie Blackmore and how many times Ritchie would fuck up their concerts back in the day. Great stuff.

 

Billy Vukovich, Jr. - A buddy & I were playing a mountain course near Oakhurst, CA., when we find out we're paired with Billy. He had already lost his dad to racing and had just buried his 27 year old son a couple years back from a racing accident in Bakersfield. Very nice man, but it was really weird to be paired with this legend, but really couldn't talk about racing or anything, just the game we were playing at the time.

some others...........

 

i've spent a good bit of time at one of my best friends houses in Malibu, Calif....you can't even go out to fill your gas tank without running into celebs in this town.

 

Linda Hamilton:  bumped into her with a couple friends at a strip mall near pointe dume, Malibu...this was when the entire world was going crazy over "krispy cream" doughnuts, and she was coming out of the store with a box of them...a friend with me is a very loud guy, very annoying, actually, and he was like "I love the terminator" to her, and she was like "yeah, thats great!" all smiling and very friendly....we were all piling into a car so we really weren't going to sit and talk but she honestly seemed disappointed like she wanted this group of young guys to flirt with her....she seemed horny, to be honest.

 

David Hasselhoff:  he was very laid back, chilling out in his shorts and flip flops,  wearing his shades  acting all cool shooting the shit with a small group of cute girls in the parking lot of a "Ralph's" supermarket right off the PCH in Malibu....very approachable....most times it seems that you bump into stars in Malibu they are in their element, very relaxed and talkative because they probably think your a trillionaire like them.

 

Brian Setzer:   I ran into the former "stray cat" on pointe dume private beach where u needed a key from a private community to get on the beach....very, very approachable, he was strolling along with a small baby, his wife and an older couple who were probably his or his wife's parents....tattoos all over him, and they were all just walking along, smiling, playing with the toddler....when he was walking away he said "enjoy that beer my friend"...and I said "i'm feeling casanova" they all started laughing at that one and kept walking up the beach.

I've only met a few celebs -

 

Curt Schilling -  After the 93 Season got his autograph at a baseball card show around Harrisburg,  PA.  Seemed a bit grumpy signed my ball " 1993 NLCS MVP "

 

Bono from U2 - Aug 1992 got his autograph outside of a Hotel they were staying at in Harrisburg, PA- There must have been a mob of 200+ people outside of the hotel waiting for him to come out.  He signed autographs for less than 5 minutes- I was lucky to get one - the crowd was going nuts for him.  The band at the time was rehearsing at Hershey stadium for the U2 Zoo TV Tour.

 

Josh Wink - Worldwide known DJ and Techno/Electronica musician/producer.  This guy was great.  I did an interview with him in Philly for a friends music magazine focusing on electronic music.  Josh was super nice, talked to him for a long time and he autographed my 12" vinyl copy of his monster acid  track " Higher State of Consciousness"   Check it out below - killer track.

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f7cylz6tl4

 

 

Also met Richie Hawtin ( Plastikman ) DJ God who walks on earth / electronic music producer / LEGEND.  This guy has been creating music since the early 90's and he has dj'd literally every where in the world.  He's one of the most in demand djs ever.

 

Interviewed him in Pittsburgh 1998 before an incredible warehouse party.  Super awesome guy - so talented.  He was great- signed some vinyl albums and some 12" singles of mine.  Signed one of his super early singles - " Krakpot " - deadly track. Acid Madness. see below

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VmqtGL_vsE

 

also he signed one of his other incredible singles -

 

Robotman - Do Daa Doo ( Plastikman Acid House Remix )

I was doing business in Dallas, Texas when they threw a welcome party for Deon Sanders at a local club.....

 

Emmit Smith....stuck up son-of-a-bitch, didn't interact w/ anybody

Michael Ervin.....similiar to Emmit, but he might have been HIGH

Deon Sanders....one of the down to earth guys I have ever met....cool is shit

I almost forgot.....

 

Juan Howard....when he played for the wizards, I went to a couple of parties at his home w/ friends of mine that knew him... everything catered w/ maybe 15 guys and 40 women...felt like a celeb myself the more I drank...stand up guy....very approachable

 

Chris Weber...real down to earth also...liked to party when he was in DC...I left a party from Juan's house at 3:00....Chris was still dancing on the pool table...I'll leave everthing else to the imagination 

 

Some celebs are real down to earth once you get them behind close doors...shaking hands, signing shit all day takes a toll after a while...but what can you say "you owe it to the fans that pay your salary"  go figure

Tomm was off the coke....wanting to talk to everbody
