Have you ever had the chance to meet a professional athlete?

Most of them are just as you'd expect... not too bright. Like overgrown children with expensive toys. Some are cool though. Bruce Smith was cool as shit, as is Orioles 2nd baseman Brian Roberts. Allen Iverson and Carmello Anthony are dicks. Rip Hamilton is very quiet. The ladies on the USA olympic softball team are very nice. Sammy Sosa speaks just about zero english. Mike Mussina is super cool. Hall of Fame pitcher Jim Palmer is an arrogant douche bag. Sargent Slaughter of the WWF is very nice. Steve Francis smokes a lot of weed. That's all the sports celebrity dirt I've got.

I've met a few of the Houston Astros players including Nolan Ryan. That's really about it.

I met Chris Hayes when he came to speak to my PR class in college. He's a cool guy. I met John Cena in 2005. He was sweet even if I was marking out for him. I met London and Kendrick in 2007. They were cool London let me hug him. Ashley was suppose to be there, but she was no-show.

I bet Orel Hershiser is awesome in real life. He just seems like such a sweetheart.

He went where I am now, at MSSU.

Tony Battie, he has no sense of humor and kind of a jerk. Thurman Thomas very nice guy. DeShaun Stevenson was a dick when first met him but was cool after. Gilbert Arenas not a bad guy, goofy and studders which made it hard not to laugh in his face.

ActionBastard 1 year 9 months ago Posts: 4903	I met Paul "Showtime" Gaffney of the Harlem Globetrotters. Showtime was a really nice guy, he actually stopped to autograph a few things for me when the globetrotters were getting on the bus. I've got two autographed foam hands, an autographed Globetrotters jersey and this globetrotter magazine type book signed. I also met Greg Oden of the Portland trail blazers at a public event. I was trying to get the little greg oden picture they gave out signed and my friends blazer hat. Gregs manager said to me "only one autograph per person" but greg was real cool and still signed the hat for me.
