We're gonna need to know more about you getting yelled at Aaron Eckhart. Which scene was that? 

The scene where the team has just won a national title and they return to the room full of alumni (filmed at Littlefield Dorm) where the GF is yelling at Steinmark (Finn Whittrock) to go see the doctor the next day.  I was the alum shaking Coach Royal's hand (scene was cut) as they walked into the room.  He yelled at me for being an amateur and not holding the eye gaze with him long enough.  I was like I don't even belong here.

I got Nolan’s autograph once before a local HS baseball game we played against one of his sons. I then hit a bomb off of his kid and fervently hid away the autograph deep in my bat bag for fear that he’d demand it back as an act of vengeance.  Not sure which of the kids it was, but I like to think it was the one who was later president of the Astros and eventually fired for insolence. 

I was in line one time right behind him at the Fulton Mansion museum in Rockport. I had to tell myself to be cool and he was very friendly.

In the late 90s to mid 00s before my grandfather passed away, a bunch of Astros used to hunt deer at our ranch in Frio County.  My granddad and Drayton McLane were close friends -- my granddad is the one who convinced McLane to buy the team after his group's bid did not work out because John McMullen wanted to include several dog tracks.  Lance Berkman and Shane Reynolds hunted with us 3-4x per year.  Reynolds and one of my uncles are close friends.  Shane also lived down the street from my parents in the 1990s. And then when they moved he later bought the house across the street from them after he sold that monstrosity of a house he built in Sweetwater to Tracy McGrady.

So I hunted with Oswalt, Bagwell, Billy Wagner, Adam Everett, Wade Miller, Bill Spiers, Mike Williams (a reliever we got from Pittsburgh), Scott Elarton, and quite a few others.

Spiers is a great dude.  I loved hunting with him.  

Gene Stallings hunted with us a lot too.  Did not care for him.  He is a prick.

Johnny Baker, who played for the Oilers and is Lance Berkman's father in law, would hunt with us.  Baker is a big Second Baptist guy and would bring Ed Young along a couple times per year. Dr. Young would lead a short devotional by the camp fire after dinners.

I shook Chuck Norris’s hand while waiting to board Greezed Lightnin at Astroworld. He was in the front car and asked if he could ride again. I stuck out out my hand and thought to myself “hell yeah you can ride again, you’re goddamn Chuck Norris.”

One time right after college I was shooting pool at the Cub in Shreveport. I was good and drunk and decided to step out the back to get some fresh air and smoke a cigarette. I busted out of the door and startled a girl who looked very confused. The girl was Jennifer Garner and the door I used I guess was supposed to be locked. Dumbfounded, I looked at her and the only thing that came out of my mouth was "What are YOU doing here?" She responded in a very nice way, "Shooting a movie." Then I noticed all these people staring at me so I walked back inside and kept playing pool. 

I was sequestered in Maggie Mae's one night when Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan were shooting some shitty movie all around central Texas.  Rotel & The Hot Tomatoes were playing.  I got bored, decided to leave, exited while security made a bad attempt to stop me, turned right on the sidewalk and ran full frontal into Meg wearing a teddy, walking west with Quaid.  I heard a director's "cut" and decided I needed to be gone.  Still, Meg Ryan in a teddy.

Was an extra in the UT film "My All American" about Freddie Steinmark.  Got to go fanboy on Jordan Shipley on set (nobody else knew who he was) and asked him about the kickoff return to the house vs blowu in '08.  It was awesome (Chris Farley voice).  Also got yelled at by DKR in the film Aaron Eckhart for being a terrible actor.

Worked at Dennis Quaid's charity golf tournament down at Onion Creek one time at one of the tee boxes handing out gatorades.  Chopped it up with Too Tall Jones who looked like he could still play.  Heckled Jason Seahorn when he shanked his drive real bad.  Quaid was a coked up prick.  Wasn't asked back.

 

I've worked with both Quaid brothers and they are both insane assholes.
Our neighbors growing up in Fort Worth were B.J. Thomas, Norm Bulaich, and the TCU AD and head football and baseball coaches.

Aaron Eckhart should have yelled at the screenplay writers and the director. It's cool that you were on the set, but that is one, amateurish, hokey, Disney Channel piece-of crap movie.

I use Shreveport as my home airport.

I have been on multiple flights with Tim Brando and have set next to him several times and have talked sports from on the flight.  Despite the opinion of him on here (all not entirely wrong) and what he gets caught up saying on the broadcast, he does speak favorably about Texas on a personal level.

Back when he was still alive, I shared a few flights with Eddie Robinson, the former HC at Grambling University.  He was one of the nicest persons I have ever met.  He would often invite Grambling alums or students to an event that he was going to.

I sat next to the Speaker of the House Mike Johnson several times and exchanged small talk.  The last time was about a week before he was elected as Speaker.  Haven't seen him since for obvious reasons.

Shared a flight with former President Jimmy Carter coming back from South Africa.  Once airborne, he walked through the plane introducing himself and shaking everyone's hand.

Have sat next to former MLB player and HoFer Lee Smith a few times as well.

My nephew spent several years working in Hollywood with a film crew and met a lotof famous actors…. 

Christmas Vacation… he said Chevy Chase was a total asshole disliked by all the crew. Nephew once parked by mistake in Chase’s reserved spot at the studio, and Chase burst into the office throwing a loud cussing tantrum…in spite of embarassed apologies.

Blaze - Paul Newman was a fine & thoughtful gentleman who treated them all respectfully. (Shared a few lunch break sandwiches with him). During the cast party after the film was finished, the actress Lolita Davidovich who played Blaze Starr was all over my very shy nephew’s face, teasing him while covering him with wet kisses.

So, in 2012, my son and I go to Mi Cocina (the original one at Preston and Forest). We walk back to bar area, hop in the only two empty seats at the bar. Right next to us is... Sean Payton and his wife. (I guess they had a house at the time in the Coppell (?) area. My son keeps looking over at Payton, Payton starts to squirm a bit, so eventually I think, "Screw it." Turn to my right and say, "Hi Coach. I'm Lid and this is my son Skippy Lid, Jr. He's gonna burst a pipe unless he says hi and can we impose upon you for an autograph." He laughed, was very gracious.

Sat on an airplane once next to Arie Luyendyk, winner of the 1990 Indy 500. A quiet dude.

Took a piss next to Ross Perot once at the Petroleum Club. I did NOT look at him and say, "Nice cock."

On a lesser level, "back in the day," I along with my then scumbag law partner, would go to Sevy's pretty much every Thursday. U.S. District Court Judge Jerry Buchmeyer was there every Thursday. We got to know him and the two people he sat with pretty well. Buchmeyer was a diminutive gentleman, soft spoken. But, he had a penchant for very tall women. The one time I really made him laugh was in 2001, the movie Pearl Harbor came out. We're sitting there, I'm smoking my cigar (yes, you could smoke cigars at the bar back then), looked at everyone and said, "You know, I am not THAT guy who gives away how movies end but in the case of Pearl Harbor, I'm going to. They all look at me like, "sumbitch, you better not!" So, I said ... "The Japanese lose." Buchmeyer looks at me for just a second and busts out laughing. Very smart man.

When I was in high school I volunteered at a camp for children with learning disabilities one summer.  I helped kids work on hand/eye coordination and they sent a large guy over to work alongside me.  At first I didn't recognize him, but then one of the moms asked for his autograph.  It was then Major League player and Brenham baseball legend Cecil Cooper.  He was extremely nice and loved working with the kids.

In my first reporting job, I once sat with Fred Akers in the press box at Leander HS. Can't remember who he would have been there to see. It was a small press box so I introduced myself and tried for about two seconds to exchange pleasantries, but he was having none of it.

I get not wanting to talk to reporters -- I poked fun at journalists myself about six pages ago -- but I was not impressed.

Interviewed David McWilliams a number of times in his office, and he was a lot more down-to-earth and surprisingly unguarded. The last time I talked to him, he prefaced something with, "When I'm gone ..." and I remember being taken aback. He was fired a few months later.
