    I can tell you, Danny Trejo was real nice, Axl Rose was awesome, Reba McEntyre, Tony Hawk super sweet both....

    On the other hand, Wynona Judd was a *****, John Stockton of the Utah Jazz was a real jerk to a kid in a wheelchair (it takes a real man to be an ass to a wheelchair bound teen) Patrick Ewing, then of the New York Knicks is so racist that he was asking aloud why would a White person want to shake a Black man's hand....(I wonder if that was John Thompson talking through him too...I never met Mr. Thompson but it figures since he coached Ewing at Georgetown and Thompson was always involved in the 60s demonstrations and all-nothing wrong with that but when a person turns racist...Kareem was also involved in those things and he isn't too nice but he wasn't racist bout it at least-Ewing made John Starks feel so sorry for me that John Starks came to me and signed my basketball instead-plus Im not even White myself lol) Lance Bass of NSYNC fame, he was yelling at fans basically to leave him alone...I know they got mobbed but compare that to JC Chasez, his band mate who not only signed but chatted it up and took photos and all with the same fans. Chayanne is the only Hispanic I'd put on the assholes list.

    Boxers are by far the nicest of all. The only one who was not super nice was Julio Cesar Chavez Sr, but even he obliged with his signature to every fan who asked for it! (and when I met him there were 100s of fans around him, this at a press conference)

    My mom met the GOAT in 1987. She told him my son loves you. He couldn't have been nicer.

    Great info.

    Lena was gorgeous. So Sonny was on a promise? Lol - poor Floyd!

    Reminds me of Max Baer saying you don’t want to face Joe Louis, especially when he’s itching to start his honeymoon, after having gotten married shortly prior to fighting Max.

    I wonder if Lena made the same offer for the Patterson rematch? Since it was so easy the first time she might’ve introduced a time limit to KO poor Patto even more quickly.

    As it was, Sonny took 6 secs longer to get the job done - so maybe that put him into default? Damn!

    Floyd might’ve lost the rematch but succeeded in being a you know whatta “blocker” at the same time. Lol.

    I’m not surprised at all about John Stockton.

    He’s an a$$hole and conspiracy theorist wackjob. His teammate Karl Malone is a shithead too who was lucky he didn’t go to prison for impregnating a 12 year old when he was in college.

    Joe had exquisite taste in women and he was color blind.

    Very true. In some ways was lucky he was heavyweight champ of the world.
