What pro athletes have you known/played against?

Played against Bobby Taylor (Irish and Eagles ex CornerBack) in basketball from 5th grade all the way through high school. People may not know but he was Texas BBall player of the year his senior year, just an all around great athlete. They were our rivals. Also played ball with David Wesley quite a bit. He really got on his game at Baylor as he wasnt near as dominant in HS . His brother was my age and was solid as well. All nice guys!

you must be from Longview, I grew up in Tyler

I saw Longview in the state basketball tournament in Austin when Bobby Taylor was a senior, he was a badass basketball player and a pretty damn good cornerback

I played against Kerry Wood in a baseball tournament in high school, he was a man amongst boys then

Grew up playing hockey with and/or against Chris Chelios, Ed Olczyk, and for a short time Tony Granato. Lived closest to and hung out with Chelios the most and his mother and mine were pretty good friends. Other than that I coach against an ex NFL player now but his team sucks anyway.



Hope this helps,

went to college on golf scholarship and played against John Huston and Gene Sauers SEVERAL times. They were on same team and played with Huston the first two rounds when he won the National Championship:scared

That's impressive! Big Boy

I had to run in 100 yard dash heat once that Ivory Crocket was in and got beat by what seemed 20 yards. All the others were bent over catching their breath as I was crossing finish line-seriously.

Played against the Moss boys from Popular Bluff-Eddie Leroy and Josie. I know Eddie played for St Louis Cardinals and believe one of the others played pro short time.

Played High School football against The Magnificent Morocco. I don't remember him being outstanding. Played hockey with a couple of kids who never made it to the NHL but played in AHL. They were simply on a different level.

 

[gambinoshark]

had several high school classes with brett lindros (Nhl) and oj santiago (nfl), 2 grades above me in high school with eric lindros (nhl). My high school has produced the most hockey players to date.

Coached Vince Evan's former Raider and Bear QB son in basketball his son and my son played on same team for football and basketball.

Met and got to become good friends with Pete Rose the nicest guy anyone would want to meet. We went to dinner in vegas with him and his girlfriend a few months back she is 37 with size EE's cute little asian thing:00hour :00hour (if I ever figure out how to I will post pics). Pete is really a nice friendly and funny guy. We text back and forth football picks,(college) mostly.

Used to run into Ben Curtis at times at Windmill Lake CC. here in Ohio. Great guy. Never played with him though.

Played soccer way back when with a couple of guys that played professionally here in the US and with the Yugoslavian national team in the Olympics and such. I was a goalkeeper and they made me look stupid more than once.
