I have met Ichiro Suzuki for the Seattle Mariners in the MLB and I've met Matt Hasselbeck for the Seattle Seahawks in the NFL. Have you guys met any professional atheletes?

You've probably never heard of him, but I know Marlon Byrd of the Texas Rangers. He also used to play for the Phillies and the Nationals. I used to live next door to him and his parents.

I met professional jackass Michael Vick

I met John Mellencamp, singer not athlete

And I got blown off by Tiger Woods before he was up and coming and he dissed my home town, I can't believe people can't see how much of a whiny douche this guy is.

I met Kevin Garnett at a best buy i worked at about 5 years ago in california, he was buying 7 plasma's for his home in malibu :P

We all thought he was going to get traded to the lakers because of it, but i guess he just happens to own a home there.

Not that big. He's a bit more solid than Wilfork.
