YO how could i forget this one. EDC orlando last year...was in the middle of a big crowd, i see this dude walk by and immediately noticed his nose, and was like yo thats Mike Perry. it was him, his girl, and his manager. i confirmed with the manager dude it was mike perry. he grabbed mike freely, mike dapped me up and made sure to put on his "cool glasses" for a photo lmao. such a cool dude, even though he will legit murder you and your children at any moment

I actually ran into Steph Curry in the area during the bubble in 2020 (Warriors didn't make it because of injuries that season). He was training at a local private high school and I met someone to work out there and he happened to be in the parking lot with a trainer

He was very nice. We exchanged hello's, as I tried to act cool

I don’t have any real pics of meeting celebs. Usually don’t like to bother known people like that in public. Just a personal thing, but when I was a shorty. I went to Coral Springs Mall in Broward County & met Dan Marino & got his autograph. Had to wait in line type deal as he was doing pic & signings.

Doesn't get much better than Marino on you left and a brand new pair of Zubaz pants on your right. Simpler times my friend!

Call me Captain Obvious...but Marino was one awesome player.

I think great players get too dis-credited for not winning a title. Marino's talent as a young pro was awesome.

If I could flip one result from the 1980s, it would be the 1985 AFC Title game. Dolphins turned it over 6x vs New Eng. Dolphin-Bear rematch (from the Monday Nite game) would have been a classic.

When he was QB for the Dolphins, always felt like we had a chance to win through the years, although the Dolphins running game & defense never helped him much through his tenure.

I don't remember that dolphins/Pats game. I remember the Bears being a cover machine though and were on tv every week it seemed. My Pops doesn't bet sports at all but that year he did just taking the bears every week.

I have a ton of them, I just have to dig them up.... Here is one with my dad and I with Lasorda at Dodger Stadium in the playoffs against the Cardinals in 2009, we had seats right next to him and my dad was talking to him the whole game. He was giving us shit about wearing cardinal gear...... A lot more to follow.....
