I obviously don't see Peyton or Eli as much as the other two. But, I would imagine with all that is going yes, they would spend a lot of time apart. What are you getting at Tigre?

I actually ate dinner with Aaron and Mays along with Larry Doby in New Orleans for an Old-Timers game at the dome back in the summer of 1984. Doby broke the color barrier in the American League in 1948. Next night was the game and I got to sit in the AL dugout. Hence Mantle and Dimaggio. Dimaggio did not play he was there as a figure head. It was really cool.

No, not implying he is gay. Was wondering if they have an open type of relationship. Being a pro athlete away from home must be tough on both parties. And no, i'm not judging at all or saying anything at all more specific.

Either that or running around with other women.

Yeah, it was cool. Ate at a little place that no longer exists. Eddie's in the Seventh Ward. An old creole-soul food place.

Peyton has a great example of what a marriage should be from his parents. I think he is pretty secure with it. I doubt that he is an "Alex Rogriguez" kind of husband.

In 2002, thankfully before I knew my fiancee, he tried to get with her in Hammond @ the QB camp. She claims they only made out (I believe her.) Mind you, Peyton was married at the time.

Gary Player (when I was a kid)
Drew Brees
Josh Beckett

I met Brees in high school when I was a junior and he was a senior at a baseball tournament. Didn't realize who he was til I saw him playing a year later at Purdue and recognized the giant hair patch mole he's since had removed. Beckett was also in high school. (Sidenote-- I'm 1-0 lifetime against him).

Shook Carl Crawford's hand after a few baseball games and probably a few other guys in the majors. Almost got to hang out with Kournikova over New Years one year but that fell through. Oh and I got drunk with former Michigan WR Mercury Hayes at the Keg in Laffy. He was with this blonde chick that had to be like 6'5.

Oh and Carl Lewis, does he still count as famous?
