i'll go first, it's a horrible quality photo BUT this was one of the best nights of my life lol. went to UFC 265 in houston for my birthday last year. my bf upgraded us to first row seats, and we became friends with a girl who's boyfriend worked the ring so after the fight they got us into the ring and everything. was honestly so dope. we got to lay in the octagon (yes in all of their blood and sweat lmao). when i got out of the cage, i saw DC (Daniel Cormier) come by -- he was commentating the fights that night -- so of course i had to say hi. was a quick snap but he was a nice dude

of course you do lmao, drop those photos
I wish the PM’s had attach files option. I don’t mind sharing photos offline to some but I have too many psycho weirdos to do it where everyone can see. I have some great ones and cool stories. One that some have seen:

I’m in my sixers suite with Carson Wentz and Zach Ertz years ago. They started coming to sixers games and my rep called me to asked if I had room, I was like” hell yeah”….so Wentz, Ertz and another guy came. We exchanged info and he would text when they were coming and they sat with us for a bunch of games….and I had standing seats at his suite at eagles games. Still in touch and now that he’s in Washington, he will be this closer and will be in town for a few games this season according to him. I’m not interested in any Washington football games though. Lol

Former PA Gov Ed Rendell…..he is big into sports and in eagles postgame these days. Back in the day when he was Gov, I was around him a lot. I’ve never been around a person before or since that cursed more than him. The F word was used every other word but when he speaks on tv or would at a campaign event, never once. I could never figure out how that was possible.

I have met several. Mostly crossing paths with former players at card shows.

Did spend two hours playing poker with Jose Canseco in Las Vegas. He was cool, but the reputation of him being edgy is accurate. I was guarded in my questions.

Basically, just very complimentary so that he couldn't help but like me:
"How's your brother doing?"
"Sorry man, heard your former teammate (Bob Welch) just passed."
"You were good. You must been right at or just short of 500 home runs."

He knew his exact HR total. "I hit 462 home runs."
Wonder what he’d have done if you’d have added “That’s probably only like 280 dingers when you factor in the roids.”

I was in a room with a very famous politician on election night who was told about a friend of ours who had a heart attack at the polls and he said “ was it on his way into the booth or way out, because that’s a vote for us”

I thought I might fall over.

Had a pro poker player as a patient as well as one of Tyson's sparring partners when he was in his prime late 80s. That was a fvcking cool week of work. Wife's 1st cousin is a big shot with many of the top athletes and has worked for a few professional organizations. You just look at his facebook and are in awe. She never reached out to him to get any autographs or anything. We kinda keep to ourselves family wise. Funny, one time she told him she needed a good week out of one of his client's for fantasy football.

Played blackjack with Michael Nylander(William's dad) & Patrick Poulin (Whaler rookies). Michael with stunning blonde(future wife Camilla) both asking me for advice as their 1st time and underage I think.
Both drafted early 1 st round but average careers I guess.
