Most famous celebrity you ever had a conversation with?

Not talking about a simple handshake in passing.

1. Back in the day when I lived in Savannah I was stuck at the ATL airport waiting on a late night flight while on R&R. I was in my Army uniform reading a newspaper and someone across from where I was sitting started to talk to me. I looked up and it was Tom Berenger. Inside I was like "holy poo, it's the Platoon bad ass", but I didn't say anything about him being a movie start. We just talked about family and our destinations. He lives in Beauford, SC which surprised me. And his wife was the hottest 40 year old I've ever laid my eyes on.

2. Benjamin Bratt once paid for my order at the same airport when he was behind me in the line. I should have asked to smell his finger :o

All of it made me realize that a) Army uniform does wonders in public and B) ATL airport is the place to be

Shaking his hand and him saying "thanks for free drinks tonight, stranger" doesn't count

well...truth be known he said...thanks for letting me buy you drinks all night, sorry I'm so sloppy but I was at ball practice with my huddle b-ball team!

seriously...mine would be Guy Lafleur...and it was a big thrill seeing I grew up a die hard Habs fan and Guy was my favorite player!

I was the honorary coach for one of those legends of hockey tours and Guy and Tiger Williams were the headliners. The three of us actually missed the start of the 3rd period because we were in the dressing room talking about the state of hockey today...the gal taking care of everything wasn't impressed!!!

Got some good pics and autographs out of it, but the whole experience was cool.

reason he was so sloppy had to do with that beatdown they took earlier.. had to drink away the pain of being slightly below mediocre..

    • This fan base and being cool with mediocrity is infuriating. Making excuses for billionaires who had no business imploding a franchise and making us the Browns of the South.  Good on you man being a glass half full kind of person, I am not. I have zero faith in Tepper "evolving" and quoting Morgan in saying they been easy to work with is not any evidence of that actually happening. I'm sure if I go back and watch Fitt, Rhule and Reich pressers they said the same b.s. towing the line jargon to appease their boss. Stuff like, O they've been great, such great collaboration or some crap. Give me wins that is the ONLY analysis I need to judge are clown of an owner.....  
    • You're equating wins with evolving, but It's a little more complex than that. This will be the new managment's third season. It will also be the third season where the Teppers have taken a step back. If you think that the only way to measure improvements due to seeming changes for the better is wins and losses after only two years--one being a playoff berth, "limping" in there or not, then perhaps you're being more emotional. By most analysts' measure, Dan Morgan has the Panthers moving in the right direction. He can only get us to where we need to be with the blessing and cooperation from the owners. He has said several times now, that they are easy to work with. Rhule, Reich and Fitterer did not say that. In fact, you could literally see the pressure put upon them by their countenance.  Bottom line: it has been reported that they have changed and everything that we've seen (and not seen) is indicative of that belief. We were a playoff team, and we had a good showing. With the moves that have been made this offseason, and last offseason to be honest, NFL types are expecting the Panthers to compete for the division the upcoming season, and that's even before the draft. This is all with a QB that is still a question mark.  Rome wasn't built in a day. David Tepper has seemed to internalize that, and now many fans need to appreciate the same. It could be argued that we didn't have any business winning the games we did in '24 or '25, much less make the playoffs this past season. A positive transition appears to be afoot. We are close to becoming a perennial contender, and that's thanks to a developing culture change that is being allowed to happen. This was not the case when the Teppers, particularly David, were fumbling around trying to figure out how to run an NFL franchise.   
    • Dude is a beast on ST. I like the emphasis on special teams with him and Simmons.
