That rules... Although Rex Ryan also rules (Defense wins!!!).

I dont understand why Mangini's players dont like him. Is he a jerk or something?

I helped Morley Safer put on his shoes at LaGuardia, ran into the guy who played Bunk Moreland from the Wire on the streets of Beijing, had Tom Brokaw yell at me, shook Bush's hand while he was POTUS, and some others.

^^^ Morley S. and the young guy (Steve K.?) were directly behind me online at the Hallo Berlin cart in front of the University Club. He was smoking a cigarette. Pretty sure he got the Berliner....

i saw Tracy Morgan? the black comedian from SNL, at the Grove in Los Angeles at the Nordstrom.

He walked in with his mom, i saw him and we made eye contact and i nodded to him and he smiled and nodded back as if he was appreciative somebody noticed him. he seemed really cool.

I once had a business meeting with Don Johnson at his hotel room in London (and no, this is not some porno scenario). I flew all the way to London for the meeting. Believe it or not, Don Johnson is very wealthy and he invests in Private Equity transactions. This was back around 2003 or so. So I am not sure if he still invests in start up companies. A very smart man.

On that same trip I saw Newt Gingrich walking around near Hyde Park.

It is funny when you meet a celebrity and they introduce themselves.... for example he was like "Hi, my name is Don"... and you are thinking to yourself... "no ****, i know your name... i watched Miami Vice"

I saw Daryl Strawberry at lunch time. This is the 2nd time i have seen him in the past few months. I have a feeling he lives over near the UN, because both times I saw him it was at the exact same location ( 2nd ave and 45th street). He is sooo tall. It was embarrasing... i was with my co-worker and he shouted "Darylllllllllllllll" like some kind of foolish tourist.

I would have shouted Daaaa-rylllll at a Hall & Oates concert also. But only if they played "I can't go for that (no can do)".

Tonight I was studying at Starbucks and that rapper Treach from Naughty By Nature was there...

He was my favorite rapper when I was a kid. You down with O.P.P. ?

Not sure if he counts as a celebrity... but he was getting a lot of attention at Starbucks

I walked into work one day, back around 2004 as I recall-standing in the hall outside my office is a group of people-coworkers mostly, all talking to someone. I walk through the crowd and about ran straight into Cameron Diaz. She was very nice-real person, down to earth. I was pleasantly surprised.

I ran into Kareem Abdul-Jabbar a few months ago. We were both buying gold bullion. He stood out like a sore thumb having to duck about a foot just to get through the door. A couple years ago Nick Markakis of the Orioles bought my friends and I a pitcher of beer while we were chatting at a bar when his team was in town. Talked with John Lackey (Angels) and a drunk Adam Kennedy (Cardinals at the time) at a bar. I see Garret Anderson every now and then as his son went to my little brothers school and he goes to my parents church. Also have ran into Elton Brand and Shawn Marion in Vegas. Other than athletes, I haven't really ran into any celebrities that I recognized.
