Jerry Lucas and Gary Bradds. I met them both when they were playing. I don't remember now but I don't think they were at the Fred Taylor basketball camp I attended.

I think I was one of three people who showed up the first hour on the day that Jerry launched his failed Jerry Lucas Beef and Shake chain with an outlet behind the Northern Lights shopping center. That was really cool because I got to sit in a booth with him for over an hour. As a young teenager, I don't think I had any idea how life could've gotten any better. :biggrin:

As a young kid - Charles Barkley, Frank Thomas, Bo Jackson

Late Teens - Craig Krenzel, Ivan Drago, Cael Sanderson, Roy Jones Jr.

Now - Every Buckeye, Darko Milicic, Ricky Williams, Ivan Drago, Floyd Mayweather

I don't take sports nearly as seriously as I used to. I tend to enjoy following the headcases and love watching every game of every team in the pro's not DIE HARD loyal to anyone. I can barely handle being a die hard Buckeye, too stressful, so I just have fun with my pro players.

I loved watching Staubach and Tarkenton growing up. Equally enjoyed watching Luis Tiant’s pitching motion and Al Habrosky (the mad Hungarian) staring batters down. Julius Erving flying down the lane for a dunk was a site to behold.

I was never a Packers fan, but Brett Favre was magical, as was Brian Sipe leading the Cardiac Kids.

Keith Byars (Heisman hose job) leading a shoeless comeback against the Illini. And, Cornelius Greene that guy could ball.
