    I met Ben Best (Clegg from Eastbound and Down) at Thomas Street Tavern in Charlotte.

    I hung out with Reid Flair (Rick Flair's son) a couple times many years ago.

    I live in Hurricane country here in North Carolina. By that I mean a bunch of the Carolina Hurricanes live right near me. Eric Staal isn't too far away, and I bow hunt right down the road directly behind Rod Brind'Amor and Ron Francis' houses. Cam Ward is closest, and I see him during the off season a bit. He is usually running or getting a burger. I try not to bother him because I know they don't care to be noticed, but he is really a nice guy. Eric Staal too. He will always give you a minute. Overall I've met most of them over the years, and they were all decent guys. Here is a pic of Cam and one of my boys at a charity event a few years ago. You can skate with the whole team, and the money goes to local kids in need. Pretty cool.
