re: Your IRL encounters with celebrities

In 1991 or 1992, I met Deion Sanders when he played for the Richmond Braves. I was a 14-year-old Tidewater Tides fan, chasing autographs at every home game. Deion coming to AAA was a big deal. My friend and I skipped the end of school, took the city bus to the park, and beat the team bus. We grabbed a few Tides autographs before the Braves arrived. Deion walked off the bus, ignoring us. We kept asking for an autograph from the dugout. After batting practice, he asked, “How much money you got, kid?” I had none, and he walked away without signing. I’ve never liked Deion since that day.

I’ve met a good bit of celebrities. Mostly sports figures. But since you said bathroom encounters,- not sure how many here would know him, but I once ran into Andrew Dice Clay in a bathroom in Atlantic City. Just as funny as his stand ups. Ended up gambling together from 1am until about 4am

Another one is Andrew Whitworth. I was in the same recruiting class with him, Marcus Spears, Michael Clayton and the rest. It was a Friday afternoon and I walked up the steps of Tiger Stadium towards a tunnel and he standing there with the tunnel at his shoulders. I called my dad that night and said I’m taking the Academic scholarship. The SEC will kill me on field. Got to stay on the field the next day and watch LSU beat Miss St in OT with That Devil Satan as coach.

Walked past Warren sapp on bourbon street during the SB in 2014.
met warren sapp at a friend's dispensary in colorado in 2015. it was coincidence i was there, but my buddy walked me through the tour of the place with warren. we went through all the stages of the grow, brushing up against the plants mostly because warren was much wider than the standard lanes
i was supposed to go to a trade show in town that day but smelled like cheech and chong's van
skipped it, went the next day. told all my good clients why and we had a good laugh

I loved it in the fact that he raised his kid to be a pompus assess just like he was. I have no pity for any of them. Deion will be a cancer to the Browns.

Took a piss at Fat Harry's next to Morton Anderson when he was playing for the Saints.

Emma Stone. Some pizza joint in Augusta, Georgia when I was traveling for work about 9 years ago. She walked in and went upstairs with some guy. When I tried to verify it was her, I was told I couldn’t go upstairs to use the restroom. Verified. lol
She also was wearing a hat and had it low on her head to hide her identity.

Met Adrian Peterson the morning of the nfc championship game outside of a poboy shop off canal st hours before the game. My friend got a pic with him and after I told him he better hang on to the ball b/c we coming for it. He was having fumbling issues that entire year.
Think he fumbled twice in the game that ended up probably costing them the trip to the superbowl. Rest is history.
Also met Rosie ODonnel and Phoebe off Friends in Nola.

Subtle brag but my Dad was a notable Radio guy around Texas with some national exposure and did some TV also. Been around celebs more times than I can imagine. The 2 coolest were shaking Fred Haise (Apollo 13) hand and Alan Shepherd calling to wake me up in junior high. He told me to find a cutie to a remote corner of the library!
Fast forward to my adult life being in the golf industry and I'll say Tiger Woods both times I've been around him was awesome. Also Lawrence Taylor played in a NFL alumni event at a club I worked at. Before the round he had coke on his nose and I thought he was gonna murder me. Post round, no coke and he acted like we were best buddies from childhood. I was still scared.

Maybe, but also Joanne Woodward's parents still lived in BR at the time as well. I remember telling Joe DeLuise ( the barber on Nicholson) and an older judge about it a few weeks later and both were unsurprised. Joe of course would tell you that he had cut his hair, but the judge said that it wasn't unusual for them to be in town from time to time visiting Joanne's kin and seeing Paul Newman at places like Louie's , Gino's and Smoky, had told me, even George's on Perkins. Said he had been slipping into town for years.

Sean William Scott bumped into him outside of Walgreens on College. Was very nice and told me about all the cool stunts in Dukes of Hazzard, and that I should check it out. I did,
Randy Couture - Also very nice took pics with everyone.
Adam DeVine - Pronounced his name like you would Adam Levine and he quickly corrected me. Apart from that very nice.
Dr. McDreamy actor - Pleasant but was trying to leave the store quickly without being mobbed.
Edit: Forgot Wendell Pierce. Was very drunk at a Pels game and bumped into him very hard that he almost fell over. I apologized profusely and he shrugged it off.
Roy Halladay. The year before he died he was with his family at a Pels game, and as a huge Phillies fan I recognized him but didn't say shite. I kind of regret it.
