I covered all of the Mavericks home games for SportsTicker from 1999-2008.

Was in quite a few shots during locker room interviews locally.

Had friends tell me they heard me asking questions during live press conferences after playoff games on ESPN News.

If you knew what I had on you could have seen me at my seat in the second row just to the right of the tunnel the Mavs come out of.

When I was younger, my friends and I had floor seats for a Bulls game and we were interviewed by one of the local stations during pregame. We each were asked what Jordan would want for his birthday and one of my friends said "he would want his dad to come back to life to see him play one more time." The reporter looked into the camera and went "That was deeper than expected."

During a phenomenal White Sox comeback against the Rangers a couple years back, cameras caught me and some friends in the right field patio at Comiskey stupidly throwing our $10 beers in the air and running around like idiots as a go-ahead HR flew toward us.

I was caught in the background during Gameday a few times, too; Oregon St in 04, at Bama in 05 and Florida in 07.

I was interviewed by Fox News last year. The interview got cut for a segment on Steinbrenner's death but I got about 30 seconds of screen time left in of just me wandering around.

When I was 10 I got to read the lunch menu for the week of Halloween for the morning news show. My mom messed up the recording.


My dad has been on Oprah twice.

I had like 20 missed calls and messages when I checked my phone after the game.


Exactly what ends up happening to me.

Call waiting gets confused when so many try calling at once.

I have been on TV a lot...

Once, in Atlantic City, I went to see Crazy Cabbie vs Stuttering John box for the Howard Stern Show.

Met all kind of people, Evander Holyfield, Donald Trump, Bert Sugar, Kendra Jade (got a picture with her), Beetlejuice, etc...

When Michael Buffer was announcing Stuttering John, you see Buffer and Me in the shot for like 10 seconds...so I was on E!

Was that the dork guy?

Holy shite what a loser that guy was.


Lol!!!

CSB moment:

When I was in the band at LSU, that dude, I believe his name was Tony or something like that, come waltzing through the student section before a football game.

Some random LSU student yels out to him "hey! Aren't you the guy from MTV?"

Tony looks at him all cocky and says "yes, I am"

LSU student: "Man you're a fricking loser!"

huge part of student section erupts in laughter. Tony hangs his head in shame and keeps walkin.

I almost felt bad for the guy. Almost.

Hmm was interviewed by abc 26 for some neighborhood issues. They sent a crew to my neighborhood and we strolled around and talked on camera.

Was interviewed by WWL for a local event that I was involved with.

Have been interviewd 2 or 3 other times as a "man on the street" kind of thing for a mayoral election and another time for a Saints game.

I was on a WAFB segment where they covered Westboro Baptist Church protesting at Dutchtown. I had a huge Billy Mays sign that was on TV.

Also I'm in a commercial advertising Southeastern that is currently running.

I am in a commercial for my employer. I get stopped around town by passersby about it. I originally was in a photo shoot for a pamphlet, and they plastered the picture all over the place, including tv.
