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..

    • Yea when teams see a gun charge they rightly pause but this seems like a big misunderstanding. 
    • Sorry man you lost me at "Teppers have evolved as owners". Limped into playoffs at 8-9 not even above .500 Tepper is trash as an owner bro and that's not even a discussion at this point. 37-83 w/l ratio. Nuff said.... Morgan tho, he's cooking and it ain't cuz of Teppers leadership
    • After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...
