NeverForgetMac25 483 Report post Posted December 8, 2009 Good for Shanny. I was 8 when my family moved to Green Bay. I saw Sterling Sharpe in a Best Buy and after I finally mustered up the courage to go ask him for an autograph he simply looked at me and said, "no" and then walked away. I've never forgotten that. ****** Bag Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PotbellyJoe 10 Report post Posted December 8, 2009 (edited) I got snubbed by Kirby Puckett in Florida during Spring training. I shed no tears when he was hit with the baseball. I was 12. It was his birthday that day and i stood along a fence to the stadium from the players' lot. My twin sister and I sang him happy birthday and asked for any autograph, he looked at us and kept walking. Edited December 8, 2009 by PotbellyJoe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's a cool story. The Steelers were so awesome back then. I liked the commercial with Mean Joe Greene. You should have told him you were the kid in the commercial!

up2here 41 Report post Posted December 8, 2009 Vaive was a great goal-scorer but apparently his people skills need some work. I saw him at a charity event in PEI just a few years ago and he was stand-offish and unfriendly then too. I do have a friendly celebrity story tho. I literally brushed arms with Steven King at a bookstore in New Hampshire a few years ago and then realized it was Steven King. I guess I was going through a bit of an honesty kick and told him that I thought his books had gone downhill a bit but that i was still a fan. We had a 20 minute conversation and he said he appreciated the honesty and signed a copy of 'Different Seasons'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
