And I talk about this on my blog. So ...

On the way home from the Middle East, on the flight from Baltimore to Atlanta, who standing waiting for a first class seat but .. Shannon Sharpe. I said, "Hey! Shannon Sharpe!" I was in my desert uniform. He said, "Thank you," which I thought was very nice.

Also, weird one. My wife and I are getting gas at a truck stop on I-75 between Atlanta and Macon. This posse rolls through the store as I am buying goodies. Then suddenly, singing. And the guy at the counter starts laughing.

"It's R. Kelly," he said.
I'm cynical. "Is it R. Kelly or someone trying to be R. Kelly," I said.
"Nope," the dude fired back. "It's him. That's his bus." He pointed outside.
Sure enough, there was the bus and just as I turned, R. Kelly rolled by.
My blog response summed it up for me.

Be well, all.

r. kelly used to go to my gym in chicago.......

very very unusual guy.

and that was my assessment before the scandals were known.

let's just say most girls were creeped out by him.

Who are these people?

A very good question.
But I'm not sure I really want to know.

Actually, Jean Marie, Shannon was a tight end, but definitely a really good one!

R. Kelly... Hmm, I think he was a swimmer...



















At least, I hear he was into water sports...*






*Mods, please feel free to delete this post, ban me and kick my dog. - That was totally disgusting! :eek:

Better trash talker. That said, he is still pretty much the prototype receiving tight end. Speed, size, strength, good route running. He was almost a tight end / wide receiver hybrid. I remember that 5 yard catch he took 90-something yards against the Raiders in the playoffs (mainly because I hated the Ravens and wanted them to lose). Not many tight ends pulling that off. & he has better numbers than Ozzie Newsome. He's a Hall of Famer. Maybe even first ballot.

Then, that's the guy I'm thinking of. Thanks for correcting me. Everyone.

What's the other Sharpe's name? He played for Green Bay.

Thank god for Google--Sterling :)

and the convenience of the bar being at the bottom of the page, Mac :)

Me neither, Unique. I was sitting next to somone on a plane when some people started squealing and asking for autographs. I turned away as much as possible and tried to sleep. Still have no idea who it was. Thank god the stewardessed made the mini-mob sit back down. :Shrug:

You're kidding, right?

Shannon Sharpe was one of the finest wide receivers in football. Ever.

R. Kelly is a rap toad. I don't care for rap, myself. Not a nice guy, from the rumor mill.

I don't follow football - my first husband was a football player so I got a first hand look at all the reasons why I don't now and never will follow it.

Joe Montana...better than Young (don't care what the stats say) second only to Unitas.

Dave Chappele's R. Kelley is better than the real R. Kelley. Oh yeah.
