I was a sports journalist and country musician in my prior life before moving north. Interviewed a great number of pros and collegiate standouts through covering Titans, Vols, NASCAR and NHRA for a paper in East Tennessee during and right after college. The absolute nicest and cordial in a both post game and social event setting were Peyton, Jimmie Johnson and Jerry Rice, bar none.
Favorite story: Group interviewed Ray Lewis after Titans last playoff home game, a loss to Ravens, and he got on the phone with Michael Phelps. Terrell Suggs was next to Lewis rubbing his dick in front of Rachel Nichols to try to get her to look after his shower. He ease drops in on Ray's phone call and says... "Dat muh n***a Phelpsie? He still in China? Tell that n***a to bring me a fake TV!!!" To this day I still do not know what a fake TV is.
Funniest was NHRA legend John Force, who claimed that Elton John's favorite driver was "Jeffie" Gordon. Biggest pricks were Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick, Vince Young, Arian Foster.
Through music, highlight was meeting Garth. Just a super guy. Real deal. We opened for Luke Bryan and Eric Church separately when they were first doing the radio thing at smaller bar shows. Nice guys back then (07-08). Had beers with both. Both are big outdoorsmen and we talked hunting, fishing. Biggest a-hole we ever did a show with was Uncle Kracker. Just not nice. Nicest, most humble guy we were paired with was Chris Stapleton back in 2011. Biggest druggie was Trent Tomlinson who had that One Ring In The Fire song. He liked his powder back then.

I work at a college as a janitor even though I feel like I'm smarter than half the people who go there. Sometimes I see an equation written on a blackboard like half an equation and ....I just figure it out. Yeah, anyway. My best friend is Ben Affleck.

I threw the football back and forth with Steve Young for five minutes at a football camp. Also had brief interactions with Jerry Rice and Reggie Jackson that day. I cooked for John Glenn and Jeff Sessions but I didn't meet them. Best I got. Oh, I went to church with the Problem Child kids babysitter. She was nice.

Returning to the states from Buenos Aires in the late 90's after my 28/28 shift - flying business class - first class was separated by leather looking curtains - this man came through opening cussing about a baby screaming in first class - it was Robert Duvall headed to CA from his ranch in Argentina - he was putting away Jack Daniels one after the other - still bitching about the baby squealing in FC - turns out the baby and the mommie was some big wig from a Argentina political family. He shot the shite for an hour or so before the JD took him to lala land.

I'm visiting Valerie Harper now...we're related and very close. Also, many pro athletes, politicians, musicians and a few actors. I know Gerry Cooney very well.

Had coffee with George Jones back in the 90s. His air conditioning went out, a buddy of mine was the repairman they sent, and he picked me up on the way. Hung out with George while the other guy worked on the air conditioner. Really cool down to earth guy.

I'm friends with a dude who was on one episode of the Walking Dead. That's all I got. 
A friend of mine's mother is pretty good acquaintances with Jessica Lange because Lange rents a house from her when she stays in NOLA.

I went to game 7 of the 2010 NBA finals. I got to staples center early, like first person in the arena early. A couple Celtic players were taking part in shoot around and Paul pierce was one of them. He is taking his shots and I ran down and I shouted "hey paul!! Eat a bag of dicks!!" He just stops, turns around, and replies back "no! YOU eat a bag of dicks" and then just continues with his shootaround

Had breakfast at a truck stop with George Wallace one morning when I was driving home on leave. He paid for said breakfast. Cool dude. Oh, was in his wheelchair and had his hand wheeling him around. Was one big arse black dude.

Junk Yard Dog,
You win the thread.
Hes the most famous.
Also met Hacksaw Jim Dugan, Gentleman Chris Adams, Big Poppa Pump, CoCo B Ware, Michael PS Hayes.
Coco B Ware was a scam artist. He was trying to get money off me and my podna by making us front him money so he could go to a Pawn Shop in Dallas and bring back whatever we wanted for real cheap.
Big Poppa was loaded.
Chris Adams and Michael PS Hayes super cool guys, always professional.
Hacksaw was cool, didn't talk much to him. I did open the door for him and show him to the locker room.
