re: Coolest thing you've ever done or seen at a sporting event

What were the odds a post of your's on the MSB about the coolest thing you've ever done at a sporting event would have to do with sucking/fricking?

I've got a few golf ones from the tourney here in Memphis, but the best one is...
-My dad was a caddy for his co-worker for the Pro-Am at the FESJC years ago. The pro assigned to them was none other than Payne Stewart. I followed the group around all day and talked to Payne several times, even got to get out and hit a ball with him instructing me(I was like 10). After the round I had a million questions for my dad about him. Only answers I remember now were that his bag was the heaviest thing my dad had ever tried to carry for a hole, and the reason was that Payne always carried a extra outfit(this was in his NFL sponsorship days) in his bag, complete with the gold wingtipped shoes. Nicest man I've ever met.

-The golf ones are usually hilarious to me b/c you see them on the course acting very gentlemanly. One of my in-laws used to live on Southwind and is close personal friends with Loren Roberts. Every year at the tourney there would be a handful of PGA officials,caddies, and occasionally players(other than Loren) that stop by. The stories those guys tell are hilarious.

-In college my roommate had a class with Stanley Asumnu of the TN basketball team. Somehow they became good friends, and our condo became the hangout for the team. Stan was dating Candace Parker at the time, so we'd go to most of the Lady Vols games with him and a few of the other players. Never watched the games from the stands. Always got to hang out in the players lounge and watch it on one of the tvs amongst the other games that were on at the time. The free gatorade was a nice bonus too.

i did a cannon ball on the 18th hole of the crown plaza invitational at colonial several years back right after phil mickelson drained his birdie putt to win the tourney...made sportscenter, too

It actually doesn't. It was just skinnydipping.

Also forgot to mention that I went duck hunting with Cliff Lee in Stuttgart, Arkansas when he was tearing shite up. It was right after they had lost to the Yanks in the World Series and he was a huge douche. Seems to be typical of the big time baseball players who make it from Arkansas.

My dad grew up playing ball with Tim Raines so I would get to go over to his house weekly and hit on his indoor batting cage with little rock and my brother.. It was pretty sweet looking back on it!

Jason Williams w/ Sac kings called me on court during pregame shoot around. Dude was cool as can be, security told me to get off court, he told security I was with him so shot hoops with him for about 5 minutes.

I was at Wimbledon several years back. I was sitting about 10 rows up. It was Anna Kournikova and I don't even remember who she was playing. As she entered the court, she was looking up at the crowd and waving. I swear she was staring right at me and winked. But then I was like nahhh she wasn't winking at me.

After the match, I went out for dinner and some drinks. I had a great time and then walked back to my hotel. As I'm walking back, here comes Anna Kournikova entering the hotel at the same time I am. I was thinking wow, I want to say something but I don't know what. Before I could say anything, she says something like "hey, didn't I see you at my match today?" I was like "yeah, you remembered?" She's like "yeah!" And before I can respond she says "hey, can I blow you?" And then I was like "alright." And so that's the story of when I got blown by Anna Kournikova at Wimbledon.

nah, i got away....got in the middle of the crowd. i went back the next year and that pond was roped off so nobody could get within 30 yards of it
