Can't blame the guy for his comment, that was corny. Truth hurts OP.

On a side note from this stupid thread I've met Charles before & he is a really nice guy. I ran into him waiting in a checkout line at the Northlakes Mall. He commented on the SVT Cobra t-shirt I was wearing & we chatted about cars for a few minutes. I didn't mention anything about the Panthers or acknowledge that I recognized him so I doubt he realized I knew who he was.

One of my good friends is a pitcher for the SF Giants & I know what he goes through in SF & at home in the offseason. I've met numerous players before but I never mention football or ask for a photograph/autograph. You have to respect them as human beings & give them privacy. If you want a picture or autograph get it when they're walking to the stadium/practice or at training camp. Not when they are at a restaurant eating dinner with their family or at the grocery store.

SN03 I 100% agree with you!

I met Jack Nicholson once (at a Lakers Game) and he was a very funny cool guy. Never did I ask for an autograph or talk about movies with him. We just talked about the Game. He was like a normal person but then some people started asking for pictures with him & stuff like that.... He just walked away. I'm sure they thought he was a jerk but I think anyone would have done the same when you can't enjoy something b/c everyone wants a piece of you.

A lot of athletes & stars are like that. I was in NYC this past summer & saw Derek Jeter in Manhattan. He was standing outside a hotel talking to the crowd gathered around him until a grown man came up to him with a pen & jersey. You could tell it pissed Jeter off, he told him no & walked away to go back into the hotel. When he turned to go inside he saw a little boy, probably 5 or 6, standing behind him with a yankee hat on holding a sharpie & baseball. Jeter immediately stopped, bent down, smiled & said "Hey buddy", signed the boys baseball, & gave him a pat on the back. I thought that was absolutely incredible & showed what it's all about. Derek Jeter seriously gets it & I have a ton of respect for him now.
