Lots of athletes working NFL,MLB, NBA, NHL, NCAA, and high school football games. Met other celebrities at ballgames. I'm that guy that talks to everyone I get stuck with for a couple of minutes. I used to embarrass people I worked with on our building elevator
I talked about how hard it would be to hit Mitch Williams, after Charlie Hough had pitched to you for six or seven innings. with George Strait, in an otherwise empty elevator at an Arlington Stadium Ranger game. I knew he was someone I should know, but didn't know exactly who he was until I got off the elevator and a guy walked up to me and asked, "Did you talk to him?" I just answered "Talk to who?" He said George Strait, and looked at me like I was a fool.
At halftime of a Mavs game I showed Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn how to get to the media lounge, where celebrities got free soft drinks and popcorn. When the Maloof Brothers owned the SAC Kings, they brought singers and other performers from the Palms Casino.
I kind of had a conversation about how many 70 year old men were driving Maserati's and Lamborghini's with Owen Wilson in the Sonny Bryan's on Lovers Lane. I didn't realize who he was until after I'd made the comment, "It figures an old guy like that is getting out of that car" when a man got out of a red sports car out front. I hadn't noticed who he was, but did when he answered, with that voice, "Yea, those old guy have the money for em." I was waiting on a to go order while he was eating at a table by himself. When I realized who he was, I decided it wasn't cool to bother him while he was eating. When they called my name for my order, I just got it and left.
