I know Charlie Pride (Country Singer), Deron Williams (rookie for Utah Jazz), Bracey Wright (rookie for Minnesota Timberwolves), and James Prince (Rap-A-Lot Records CEO).

My cousin used to be the quarter back for the Steelers: Mike Tomczak. I've met Jesse Barfield a few times, he's my little cousins batting coach. (He played for the Astros and Yankees, and won a few World Series with the Yanks)

Can you hook me up with one of their Rap-A-Lot Records "Greatest Hits" albums? I had it, then loaned it out, never to see it again. Now, I can't find one anywhere.

I also pump Jackie Burke's gas, and go to school with his 16 y/o daughter. He's a retired PGA golfer and co-founder of Champions Country Club and that whole area pretty much.

Also, I used to race with AJ Foyt IV. Also, others that i've raced with were the entire "Team 16" that was at Daytona 24hr this past time. AJ Almendinger as well (Champ Car driver that's doing pretty good) Scott Speed (Red Bull ladder-style driver, kickin *** in Europe and now is testing in F1) and raced with Alfonso Ribero (Carlton from Fresh Prince).

I know Franco Miller. :bowdown:

I also know Larry Brown (Won SuperBowl MVP with Cowboys when they beat the Steelers. He caught the INT that sealed the deal for the 'boys.)

I met Dave Matthews at one of his concerts at the Pavillion.

i hung out with SLOWTA this weekend and even took a picture of him when he was passed out drunk asleep with his eyes open.

My brother in law is really good friend with the Nolan Ryan family.

I went to elementary school with Andy Pettite. He had an arm even then and would annihilate people in dodgeball.
