nicest pro youve met

hey all, who is the nicest pro athlete that youve met. it could be male/female, and from any sport, not just bb. also whos the one that you thought what a dickhead or bitch when you were done meeting them

peace

greg kovacs was really a nice guy, and so was mike matarazzo. booker-t is the man, very approchable and down to earth.

met the country singer mark chestnutt one time, he was a total d*ck, little short, funny looking b*stard. steven segal was a d*ck head also.

mark maguire's cocky...jimmy buffet's cool as hell. Jim Baluchi (sp)is kick ass, and my dad said his brother was cool too.

We don't see too many famous people here, but the nicest celebrity I've met is Mark Messier.

Met Larry Bird. He was great! Also met Mo Vaughn and asked for an autograph and he was a complete assbag and refused.

Well after the Barry Bonds thread last week, I think you know who my least favorite celeb that I have met is.

The nicest ? Hmmmm, I have to think on this......

<5 minutes passes>

I have met a lot of famous people over the years....but the nicest in no particular order:

Dan Marino (former Dolphins QB)
Dan Majerle (former Miami Heat player)
Don Shula (former Baltimore and Miami football coach)
Robert Redford (movie star)
Cher (singer and movie star)
Janet Reno (former Attorney General and District Attny in Miami)
Jim Kelly (Buffalo QB and former Miami Hurricane)
Ted Hendricks (former Oakland Raider and Miami Hurricane)
Dwyane Johnson (aka WWF wrestler The Rock and former Miami Hurricane)
Pat Burrell (present Philadelphia Phillie and former Miami Hurricane)
President Bush (Sr) & Mrs. Bush (after Hurricane Andrew devastated my neighborhood)

all of these people were extremely friendly and approachable. Especially Robert Redford, I was impressed when he was here in Miami in 1995 filming "Up Close and Personal" with Michelle Pfeiffer, and he and I spoke at a book store in Coral Gables for over 30 minutes, and I had to break off the conversation :D.

:rolleyes: who knows if I had played my cards right, I may have found out why he and Butch Cassidy were so tight in that film :unsure:

:lol:

:lol: My god Canes, that was priceless.....:lol:

Good I still have my touch :D Thought I had lost it recently :lol:

really cane that was deep. nicest ive ever met was jim jensen (of dolphins fame) had beers with my friends and i for hours (although i drank diet cokes, i know im a sissy). tom prince was a class act as was tom hanks, who like robert redford, likes to talk and was totally intreagued by the fact that i was a firefighter. i met him in lake tahoe this past january and wanted to know all sorts of things about me and my job. might have been the 9/11 tragedy, but was very sincere. shawn ray was a total putz. bobby brown was a drunk/f*cked up moron, (big surprise), but the biggest retard has to be mike piazza, his parents own a house here in boynton beach (fla) and he comes down here to visit in the off season, and works out at the worlds gym and acts like he is babe ruth or tom cruise or the pope, what a douchebag.
big guy for a ball player tho
