Come on, I didn't even reference any encounter. Now I am even taken to task over proximity?

I knew Brian and his baseball-playing brother as well.

Yes, it is. But you are letting the people down lately with a lack of name dropping. We are starving for more!

Sly Fox wrote:Wow, this is a stunning development. Not because he is having this type of surgery. At 7' 9" he is always going to have major feet issues (as someone who covers Yao I can tell you how frustrating they can be). But stunning that this has flown under the radar. This would certainly assure our senior Houston native the league's preseason MVP.

Sly & Sam McGuffie (from the news feed on Facebook):
That's Sam McGuffie of YouTube fame. I covered him in high school here in Houston before I left the TV business.

We could put the whole LU basketball team on here since Sly used his kids to get pictures of all of them.

I've had a mic in front of everyone shown except Doug Collins & Lebron. And I stood next King James at the Ohio State-Texas football game in Austin a couple of years ago. I've eaten rubbery enchiladas in the media lounge with Doug and others many times. Sports celebs are no big deal. There, I have added to my own thread.
