Played roulette with Mel Gibson in Vegas at the Wynn. He looked wired on coke (could have been either kind) or coffee or something and said an inappropriate joke to the table with the punchline being a hooker buried in his backyard. Overall, nice guy I guess.

Wife and I were sitting at a hotel bar and this guy walked in by himself and sat a couple seats from us. Wife leans over and whispers, that guy looks like Billy Martin. I laughed and I said didn't think so. After a minute or two, my wife turns to him and says, "Excuse me, has anyone ever told you, you look like Billy Martin?" He turned and smiled, and half whispered, "All the time." Looking straight at him, there was no doubt it was him.
We invited him over to sit next to us and he was a perfect gentleman. After another drink and a couple more short stories, he said he was on a scouting trip and needed to get up early so he was calling it an early night. I don't think the bar tender even knew who he was other than 'some old baseball player'.

Boarded a 747 right behind John Travolta and Kelly Preston in LA.
Shook Jerry Clowers hand and spoke with him for a minute at the airport in OKC.
Saw Sugar Ray Leonard at my High School.

Kelly Preston was way more HOT in person than on the Big screen.

Sat next to Little Richard at LAX years ago waiting for our flight and had a nice conversation. He ended up handing me some religious card and off we went in our separate directions. Dude had a LOT of makeup on...

He is super short and has a huge head. Almost looked like a cartoon character.

I agree, the man has a 5 gallon bucket for a head...but 5'10" is "super short"? How tall are you?

Some time between 2008-2010, was on a flight somewhere with our team (I was a GA/video coordinator) and this cute girl comes next to me and says she’s the middle seat. Chatted her up the entire flight. She was heading to or coming from an audition or something. Turned out to be Jesse James before she was Decker. I almost had her.

I went to IMG academies so I’m a bit skewed here but I went to Maria Sharapova’s 18th birthday party. She had won Wimbledon the summer before.
Worked out with Anna K as a 15 year old.
Played knock out with Vince Carter in 2005
Played golf with Freddy Adu still the largest calves I’ve ever seen on a human
Paula Creamer and I are still friends
Smoked cigars with Anthony Mackie recently


What year were you at IMG?

I was in a bathroom on Florida's campus and College GameDay was there.

This was right after the show had ended. I was in a one stall/ one urinal bathroom with a sink. My brother was in the stall and I used the urinal. I was washing my hands and a guy comes and tries to go into the stall, but it's locked. He starts taking off his pants to put on some shorts. I'm looking towards the mirror and I say "I guess it's going to be a hot one today." The dude says nothing in response and then walks out. It was Desmond Howard.

Use to hit the Pastime Fridays after last class which was at 11 ( best schedule ever). Use to see Buckskin Bill regularly hitting shots still wearing his shirt with the fringe.

He isn’t close to 5’11. He might be 5’9 if that. Dude was tiny.

Watch a World Cup match with Gene Simmons from a hotel bar in Myrtle Beach. I left him alone but did give him a nod

I saw Ron Jeremy and Rick Ross at Southeastern once. Ron was there for a recruiting even for one of the fraternities and Rick Ross gave a “motivational speech” in the middle of the union. This was around the late 00s

I’m only 6’2. He isn’t close to 5’10 or 5’11. I’d guess closer to 5’8 maybe 5’9 I didn’t know much about him other than he was married to Diane Lane at one point. Mainly knew him from No Country for Old Men. Read up about him when I got home that day and didn’t realize he has struggled with alcohol. Dude was grinning like a Cheshire Cat when he told me he was going home to start drinking. This was on a Friday at like 11:00 AM

Buddy of min used to be her financial advisor.. i never met her, but he said she was super-skinny in person, like sickly looking.. i find that to be the case w/most celebrities- if they look heavy on tv, they look average weight in person .. if they look average on tv, they look skinny in person.. and of they look skinny on tv, they look anorexic (or man-orexic as the case may be ) in person.. best example is when i met Teri Hatcher, she was gross, just nothing to her.. this was during her Desperate Housewives run, i was disappointed since i thought she was hot on that Superman show and when she got naked in that bayou movie .
