Not counting Panthers-related folks (Mr. Richardson, players, etc.) or politicos:

Lewis Grizzard (introduced him for a show)

Lewis Grizzard rocked! The guy had been married like 5 times. Had a pig valve in his heart. His dog "shotgun".

He was one guy I wished I could have met.

Gerald Ford when president...my college band played hail to the Chief and I was in the ruffles and flourishes section...shook his hand.

College band also played backup for Bob Barker...nice guy, came and talked with us when he did not have to. Seemed very genuine.

Played a gig with Buddy Morrow (jazz trombonist) he was awesome, and also a hell of a nice guy. Such an amazing talent. He sat with me and chatted a while after our rehearsal. Seemed so kind.

Bill Berry...founding member and drummer of REM. Also I fired him from a restaurant job. Did not want to. Really liked him. Others called him weird. I found him thoughtful, interesting, and very nice. He was so excited about the band. Remember him telling me about the name they had picked and what it meant.

Hershel Walker...thighs like tree trunks.

Edwin Newman

Shawn Cassidy

Barbara Berry

Vincent Gardinia

Tim Shriver...awesome speaker...and so handsome. Acts as if he cares about everyone he meets. Eyes that connect.

Some memorable stuff....

Helped Peyton Manning and Wesley Walls with their golf clubs.

Told Sarah Michelle Gellar's bodyguard that he couldn't play with his guns in the lobby.

Got caught staring at Halle Berry's rack. (Worth it)

Saw Famke Janssen getting dressed.

Talked to Jewel while she sat in a 2nd floor window and played guitar.

Elke Sommer kissed my cheek and bought me a beer.

The Wizards had training camp here a while back. Michael Jordan was going off because we lost his bag, saying people "stole his stuff to sell on EBay". Asked him if it was a red and blue bag. It was. Told front desk where that red/blue bag with no ID tag was supposed to go. Wanted to tell someone else where to go.

He was really nice ... It was interesting, though. He got stage fright before each show, so after being introduced to me, he had another drink, and went off into the hallways to pace and work it out. His crew started feeding me Fuzzy Navels because I was so nervous! then, Lewis came back, told me not to be nervous, then read my intro notes -- loved them and autographed them for me. It was a fun night.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
