Ok as some of you know I currently attend UNLV, today I had some time between classes so I went to the library to print some notes for class. As I was turning the corner RANDALL CUNNINGHAM was coming from the opposite direction now keep in mind as a kid I use to watch him play for UNLV so he has always been my favorite so there I was with this stupid star struck look on my face and what makes things worse for a minute I couldn't say anything so he says "hey man how you doing?" and shook my hand. so I, like a fool, asked him to throw me a pass but htere was no footballs around which he pointed out so I told him that he could just throw my bottle of water to me, he laughed it off and said that he couldn't do thatbut it was cool meeting me. I would have posted this earlier but I had to work right after class. I thought that it was cool

That's awesome Vegas Vike!
I feel left out, I keep hearing about people on here meeting football players, but I don't see them here in Alaska. :cry: :lol:

I bet you carry a football with you everywhere from now on :lol: j/k

He probably didn't throw the water bottle, because if he did, it might hit someone, like, 80 yards away and knock them out. :wink: :lol:

That's an awesome story. I'm jealous.

I had the opportunity to attend the nfl rookie photo shoot again this year and met both troy williamson and ciatrick fason. That was pretty cool. Didn't get any photos with them which was kind of a bummer but life goes on. Also met braylon edwards, adam pacman jones, courtney roby (both titans) vincent jackson (chargers) and number of others. Plus getting paid for it which is always a bonus.

About a week ago I'm hanging with my friends in this bar in Nashville (I go to college here) and as I'm getting a beer, I turn my head to the right and BAM! Peyton Manning. After I recover from the "woah cool" effect, I walk over and ask him if he needs a new agent. He laughed and it was pretty cool. To be honest I thought Peyton would come of as more of an asshole, but he was laid back and cool as hell.

sweet u should have gotten peytons autograph man that would have been awesome.

**PurplePeopleEaters** · 06-17-2005, 05:10 PM

Only famous person I have ever met is Michael Jordan. No football players... I got his autograph though.

that is awesome tht so many people on here have met football players. I just wish I was one of them.

I'm not the type to disturb famous people when they are just trying to have fun, so I didnt ask for his autograph. Autographs mean nothing to me anyways. I can remember the experience well enough and I don't need to prove I met him so no big deal.
