NT's "True" Hollywood Stories (athletes, too)...post up anything you got that's funny.

[jjs07]

This is a spin-off thread after reading about some of Vince Young's exploits over in S&T. Feel free to post a quick blurb or a personal story YOU have involving an athlete/entertainer.

I'll get it started:

On a 2007 Southwest flight from Nashville to Houston, VY bought all of the seats except for about ten passengers who'd bought tickets before he could buy the entire plane.

The plane seated 130 passengers, meaning VY purchased 120 of the seats.

And one of my faves:

It starts with Jordan shooting around at practice at old Chicago Stadium when he looks up and notices the M&M race on the jumbotron. Curious, he asks one of the Bulls' staffers what's up and learns what he is seeing is actually a dry run-through of the night's in-game entertainment, in which the jumbotron and M&M race factor prominently. (I'm pretty sure this was before shooting t-shirts out of an air cannon captivated a nation.) Naturally, MJ wanted to know if the winner of the race was predetermined. Of course the 8-bit graphics betrayed the answer: a resounding "yes".

So later that night, Phil calls a time out and Jordan & co. repair to the bench. As he's sitting down, he looks up at the jumbotron to see the M&M race about to start. So he nudges Scottie.

MJ: "Bet you 5 grand yellow takes this."

Pip: "Bet."

I'm told this went on for years before Scottie ever got wise...

My most recent and funniest one was seeing P and Havok walking out of a store called Deals on Jamaica Avenue about a year ago IDK why it cracked me up so much. It was weird seeing them alone first of all and on top of that, walking out of a store with groceries in their hand in that area like any other person

LOLLLL @ Pip for falling for that. Good heavens.



1. Coaching basketball class. Our 'teacher' was the head coach of Haskell Nations so he was close to Coach Self. The class was full of basketball and football players. 10 minutes into class we are watching some game film and I happen to look back and I happen to catch Russell Robinson sneaking into class on all fours, basically crawling into his chair so he won't get noticed. I laughed for years telling that story. R2 was a cool cat though.

2. Same basketball class- we happened to have Coach Self as our guest speaker. He is about to start talking and he looks up into the class and says, 'Hey Coach, isn't Brady Morningstar suppose to be in this class?' Coach was like, yes sir I think he is suppose to be Coach. Self looks up and says, Sherron isn't your boy suppose to be in class today? Sherron is like, 'Uhh yeahhh I think sooo. Self was like, interesting- we will have to talk about that at practice today.

3. Lived in the athlete dorm for three years and saw some of the most random, hilarious things. So during the summer before they did renovations to the rooms the windows in the living rooms didn't have screens. So all the basketball players decide they are going to throw water balloons at everyone. Rod Stewart, Mario, Darnell, Darrell, & Rush all day would just sit in the room facing the walkway into the apartments, turn off the lights and chuck water balloons at people. So one night they are doing this and there happens to be this 5 ft. Chinese exchange student walking into the apartments. I'm like no way are they going to do it. I'm not going to say who did it but she just got nailed right in the face by a water balloon.

4. Outside of a bar in Lawrence. Its last call and I'm hanging out w/ Rush and his boys from KC. Rush is just walking around getting daps from random people till he notices a party bus across the street. Dude literally climbs up the wheel well and tries climb through the window to get on the bus because there is some girl on a stripper pole. So basically myself and CJ Giles had to pull Rush off the bus and take him home.

5. So I happen to be looking out my window and I notice the basketball team headed to the Fieldhouse because they were about to leave for a road trip. Darrell Arthur is walking by himself and just as he is about to cross the street he slips on some ice and when I say slipped I mean he BIT it hard, like both feet up in the air falling. I thought for sure I was gonna watch the game later and they were going to talk about how Shady had to miss tonights game due to an undisclosed injury. But dude picked himself off the ground. Looked around to make sure no one saw him and headed on his way.

That is just a sample of the stories I have from living in Lawrence during those years. All those guys were cool dudes. Darnell, Rush, Rio, Sherron, Brady, Darrell, Rod..etc

One of the funniest things on NT that I've read on NT, was dude who was playing beer-league softball in the BX and had an encounter w. Triple Seis from the Terror Squad. You would think dude was on one of the teams that was playing but no....he was the ump. Dude raised his mask while dusting off the plate and homie up at bat was

To this day

I met Rich Eisen when I was about 11 or so back in 1996 at Camden Yards when they were opening up that ESPN Zone in Baltimore.



He was sitting a few seats down from me and I had him autograph my ticket stub.....he was a douche bag and changed my mind about wanting to become a sportscaster at an early age.



Everytime I see him on TV now I think about that hot Summer day at the ballpark that altered my career path. Thanks Rich.

MJ stays schemin

So I'm interning at WPXI (local Pittsburgh Channel) in early 2011. I'm sitting at the computer uploading a story I had written for their website when I see/hear a little kid run by my cubicle. I stand up (its around 8PM and not too many people are in the office) to see what the hell is going on and I hear a soft voice say "Hey, get back over here buddy." The kid walks back in the other direction and I see Troy Polamalu jogging over.

I was completely caught off guard, then he turned to me and said "sorry about that, I hope we didn't interrupt your work." I was like "Uhh No, not at all. Wow, I'm a huge fan and a lifelong Steelers fan. It's an honor to meet you." He was extra humble and said Oh wow, Thank you and something like the Pittsburgh fans have always been so nice to me etc. etc. I dont remember exactly his words but he was very appreciative and shook my hand as Alby (local sportscaster) was walking over to see where he and his kids were.

Very cool experience and Troy was a really cool and humble dude. This was like two weeks before we went to the super bowl and lost....

 

[gotjz]

Lls at MJ.....,I wonder if he would intentionally pick wrong sometimes to keep it going. So that Scottie wouldn't catch on as quick.

Let see I actually had a way weird weekend this past weekend in Charlotte where I met a couple Celebs. I was at this smokehouse restaurant and was sitting at the bar. I look over at this guy who looked like Uncle Tony from Heavy Weights at first glance, did a double take and it was Ric Flair. Dude was on the phone with his divorce lawyer going off. He gets off the phone I ask for a picture and not only does he take one, he bought me a beer for being a long time fan. Nice guy. Apparently he goes to that restaurant every day and tips the bartender a $20.

A home girl of mine back in 08', was messing around with Champ Bailey of the Broncos. It was my 22nd birthday, and my friends and I are out. Well he ends up meeting her at the bar where we are at. He ends up trying to get her to leave but she said it was my b day. So dude buys us a bottle and just leaves disappointed.

And one night at Downtown Denver bar it was like a tuesday. Me and my boy were out. Then all of a sudden Melo, JR Smith, K Mart, And Allen Iverson walk in along with LaLa. They order a bottle and are just chillin. Iverson just post up doesnt day a word. JR is chasing tail like no other. And Melo is getting hammered. The end of the night comes the waitress brings them the bill. Melo says "I am Carmelo Anthony I dont pay for stuff like this. You should be paying me to come here" and walks out. LaLa then pulls out the credit card and pays.

I got a lot of stories of Denver athletes. They all hang out in the same 3 bars.

Funny thread is funny.

Meh, They're not that famous, If you listen to Houston rap you might know them...

This happened around 03-04 in Dallas, We were at the car mechanic on Ross Ave. We see a van with spinners pull up, We thought it was burning up, When one dude came out there was nothing but smoke coming out the van (Turns out dudes were smoking trees in there). Then like 6 guys and 2 girls come out, Two of the guys were C-Note and D-Red from the Botany Boyz, dudes were mad cool, They gave me an autographed poster and they couldn't find an extra CD, So they took out the one that was in the stereo and have me that one. We talked for a few minutes then they left...They only stopped by the shop because they're battery was dying and they thought it was something more serious, So they left without fixing anything.

A few months later they were living in some apartment complex one of my uncles use to work at, There were about 10-15 dudes living in one apartment, They had a barber shop and a studio in that place, Dudes ended getting kicked out 'cause they wouldn't pay rent.

True story...

 

[rex ryan]

[hybridsoldier23]

This is a CLASSIC and deserves to be revisited:

shoot i might as well tell the whole story now:

so basically one day i told her i was going to go stay at my moms place, cause ever since i moved out, i hadnt really been home to visit... so im going about my business and my girl calls me, like babe guess who i met today at work? im like, "who?" shes like smush parker, i then continued to clown like hes unemployed, blah,blah, that hes a bum basically... then shes like no hes nice he gave me his auto and phone number, but i didnt accept it, so im like thats nice and continue on with my day...

so i didnt call her n e more becasue i was busy, and she didnt call me again, so around 1 am that night, i was making a anniversary gift for her, i kno SMH @ me.. and i needed something from the apt, so i figured ill go pick it up and get some quick sex..

soooooooooo..... i drive up to the apartment, pull into the parking garage, and parked in my spot is a frickin escalade, custom escalade, we all know what its called.. so i sit in my car and i put my head down on the steering wheel, like i already know...

so i walk up to the door and open it, our bedroom is right next to the entrance of the front door, i hear some sum noises going on in the bedroom, i swing open the door, and smush is smashing my girl, his tats exposed, she sees me, pushes him off, get under the cover and is like,"what are you doing here?"

im like, i live here.... and smush is sitting there like.. ok, this is awkward, and shes like its not what it looks like babe, i just turn around and walk out the door.. so i get outside, and im sittin on the steps and i call my closest homeboy who was in ATL at the time, hes like, "take a bat to the smushcalade.." im like nah, so i just go home... shes texting me the whole night saying stuff like i was lookin at his tats and it was nothing, and so on.....

so like 2 days later, she has him call me and say nothing happened and even tried to invite me to a partyat kwames house... im like, man its ok if you didnt know but i dont want her no more, you can have her... and that was basically it... im tellign you all this is true lol... who and why would anyone make this up lol....

EDIT: it was hard for a couple months, the story spread amongst the people i knew, every time i would play someone in any nba game, they made sure to use the lakers, casue he was kind of still on their roster and only play with him to clown on me...
