I was about to get dunked on by Stromile Swift. He was on a break away and I was the only one back. I stood there for a second like I was going to take a charge or something and then I just got out of the way.

early ducet. he would play qb until they got into the redzone then he would line up at wr and they would just throw a jump ball into the endzone. and wouldn't you know it, he'd catch every damn one of them.

I used to make Chris Williams (1st round draft pick and starting guard for the Chicago Bears) cry on the reg in middle school football. Also, played on the same high school team as Brandon Harrison(Stanford,Texans) and the infamous Doug Planchard. Played against Glen Dorsey, Skyler green, Mewelde Moore, and a bunch more LSU players.

HS teammate was WR/RB/CB Rudy Burgess (Arizona State). He is only the 5th player in college history to have 1,000 yards rushing, 1,000 yards, receiving, and 1,000 yards returning in his college career. Unfortunately, he went undrafted due to multiple nagging injuries in college, and never really got further than practice squads. He jumped to the CFL, but didn't do anything spectacular. I think he is doing some computer design work at the moment, but still keeping his NFL Dreams alive.
Ray Allen went graduated from my high school, and I got to meet him my Senior year on the football field.

I went 0-2 against Mark Prior in a wood bat tournament in 1996 (I may have fouled off a pitch but I could be making that up or remembering incorrectly). His SoCal team ended up winning the tourney. In that same tournament, Josh Beckett pitched for a team out of Texas.

Played on the same team as Cecil Collins and Keith Smith(McNeese and later Detroit Lions and San Fran). Neither really had spectacular NFL careers but they did make it to the league.

Erick Dampier.
I was a freshman at Mississippi State when they went to the Final Four.
I moved into the dorms on the first day possible in the fall. My dorm was right by the gym, so I'd go shoot for a couple hours a day. I was in shape, and could shoot a decent jumper, but I'm not a basketball player.... as most 5-7 white guys aren't.
Anyway, the gym had four courts, I was on one, and on the next was a pretty spirited "game" going on.
After about 30 minutes, one of the guys approaches. He says "hey man, we have 9 and want to run full court, can you be our 10th?"
I say okay, get down there and start looking around. These guys are HUGE. I recognized Dampier and Dontae Jones, and figured out pretty quickly that this was the basketball team, having an informal scrimmage. I was scared shitless. I played with them for about an hour. I took one shot (and only because Darrell Wilson, the PG, told me during a water break "I saw you shoot on the other end, I know you can shoot. Next time I give you the ball in the corner, shoot it..."), and basically just passed the ball as soon as I touched it.
But, I didn't embarrass myself. I was in shape enough to run up and down the court and (mostly) stay with my man on defense and run him around a little on offense. I knew enough about the game to go over and under picks properly, and when to sag off my guy to cut off post passes, etc. (not that I could have done anything...)
Anyway, that's my story of playing basketball with a Final Four team.

Played HS football against Danny Weurful.
Played pickup BBall with Roy Jones, Jr. I had to guard him. I was nervous about fouling him and pissing him off.
