I stared in a commercial a few years ago that aired on and off for about 6 months, got recognized like 5 times, thought I was going to have to employ body guards there for a minute.


But seriously, everybody I knew saw it and treated me different during that period, was very strange. While I thought it was weird I still got a kick out of it. I see how people get hooked on it, there's been talks of doing other stuff and nothing has happened, but I secretly want to do it again

I’ve had two. Once, at the first Baton Rouge Kingfish game, I got really drunk with my friend Paul. We came out of the portal at some point and Ken Pastoreck (the news guy back then) was right there and interviewed us. I had a beer and my hand and we said something about only being there for the beer and the fights and then started punching each other. It made the news. The problem was that I was about 16.

Another time, when they were talking about raising the drinking age to 21, the news was in Triple A. I didn’t know that. As the cameraman scams the crowd, there was 19 year old me drinking beer straight out of a pitcher and on the dance floor. It also made the news. The law changed. Not because of me, but I don’t figure that I represented the 18-20 crowd very well.

5th grade field trip to Ship Island that made the town newspaper. “Somebody” brought 2 boxes of alka seltzer on the trip. There were dead seagulls all over the island. Unfortunately, my middle school made the front page of the local newspaper and was permanently banned from the island

Crap I forgot, I was on ESPN as part of the Thunder and Lightning story about Will Clark and Palmeiro. Had a picture of Will in high school and I was in the picture, so I may have 12 minutes left


Back in the early 90s Will Clark came to Starkville for a game. I was 2 maybe 3 years old at the time, and my mom carried me down to get Will's autograph. Will signed my ball and complimented my cheap kiddie sunglasses, "I like your glasses, bud."

A local channel happened to be filming at the time, and they showed us on the news that night.

Played Drums in the Gutter Sharks.. We were on WWL's morning show in '87. We auditioned for Star Search and got a spot. Only to have it canceled because they dropped the band segment the following season and made a kid segment...

I was in the audience for Popeye and Pals as a kid. The camera zoomed in on me when we all said "Roll 'em!"

I was on the BR news when I was about 8 for setting the record for most medals at the cub scout Olympics. /endthread.

Wife was in a few movies and lots of commercials (regional and national). Guess she wins in our house.

In high school, I scored the game-winning TD in a huge game against our biggest rival.

My life peaked way too early. I'm like a real-life version of Al Bundy.

I was in the newspaper once for being arrested for defiant trespassing because I went back to the mall after I was banned.

I was banned due to intent to horseplay because we were playing senior assasins and I had my water gun with me in the parking lot.

My mom’s friend cut out the news blurb and put it on a plaque for me.
