The worst interaction I've ever had is with the Yankees bullpen. I went through a small period in my childhood where I considered myself a Yankees fan (to piss off my dad), I asked them for a signature, and they told me 5 bucks a piece.

Depending on who they were, it could have been a steal in the long haul

That is bush league though, totally not the time and place to charge for an autograph...

And I like to add one for my dad, Junior Griffey.

He asked him for an autograph for my older brother, who was very young at the time, while they were on the same flight.

Let's just he didn't get the autograph...

I guess I understand why it would be annoying, but then again that is price you pay for being a public figure and making butt tons of money.

Coolest, classiest, and all around awesomest athlete I ever met was Walter Payton - above and away the best.

Biggest douche(s) were Tony Dorsett and Jerry Rice.

More douchie then them was Gene Simmons and Weird Al Yankovick if you include all celebrities

I was in the Blockbuster in Oxford MS when Eli Manning came in shooting water guns at everyone. I wanted to KO his punk arse but he brought his whole O-Line with him. That's just one of my many stories of the "classy" Manning family.

Shooting water guns at everyone? Was he shooting the workers or just customers? Did he shoot you?

They were having a water gun fight in the store with each other but several bystanders got wet. They were even using the customers as human shields. Cowards! Fortunately, I nor my g/f at the time did not get wet. The moral of the story: Don't date Ole Miss girls

Peyton and his white trash family used to come in the bar I worked at in Hammond when they did the Manning Passing Academy there a few years back. He asked our waitress out who told him that he had a wife and she had a b/f. His reply "so?". Drunk or not, he's a douche.

Coolest - Charles Barkley, Craig Biggio, esp. Archie Manning - met him several times, he's been total class every time. Jim Nantz was cool. Believe it or not, Nick Saban.

Douche - Billy Packer

Weird/eeriest - Cecil Collins

How was Weird Al a douche???
