What is the F4 in Atlanta?

Final Four

I'm not sure being truly wealthy is as much fun as it seems it should be.

My wife's friend is pretty wealthy and still has "issues" she can't buy her way out of.  And wealth can attract issues at times.

I'm content to be just plain wealthy, according to some here.

I hear ya Mdot. Some people want to be rich and famous. I say screw the fame; I just wanna be rich and unknown.

Although if I end up doing this YouTube channel maybe I'll be low-level internet famous, aka infamous.

like 2pac said, "all I want is money, f*ck the fame, I'm a simple man". 

being a little famous might not be so bad, but being the biggest thing in the world has got to really suck though. kinda why I always felt bad for Michael Jackson even though he was most definitely extremely weird af at best and possibly even a criminal deviant at worst, but how was someone like that ever going to be any bit normal? guy was performing in clubs and venues since the age of 5 years old, became very famous when he was like 10 years old when he came out with his brothers and they had a bunch of #1 singles and records with ABC, I'll Be There, etc., etc., and then when he becomes an adult in his mid 20's he comes out with Thriller and it becomes the biggest phenomenon in music ever and he becomes literally the most famous person in the entire world and can't do sh*t without crowds following him and pandemonium ensuing and he's on the cover of tabloids, newspapers, magazines every single day for decades with people saying all kinds of wild sh*t about you 24/7. everyone always kissing your ass and you can't really trust anyone because they want something out of you. that kind of life has got to royally suck balls. 

I don't really consider YouTube people famous. I don't really know who any of them are, feel like it's mostly little kids that watch YouTube "influencers".

11 year old girls have run the music industry for multiple generations, so...

Played against Antawn Jamison. They were staying at the same hotel as us. Talked a bit later around the pool after the game. Solid dude.

Shawn Marion used to come play with us when I was at Austin Peay. He went to high school in Clarksville. He was a cocky little shit. Ran into him a few times later and he had grown up quite a bit. 

As a HS football official, I did a game featuring both Charles Woodson (Fremont Ross) and Orlando Pace (Sandusky HS). Both of them were heads and shoulders better than everyone else of the field. 

I officiated other teams with some players that were well known in college like Tim Anderson (Clyde HS, Ohio State DT) and Damon Moore (Fostoria HS, Ohio State Safety). There are a few others, but I don't remember a lot them.

Growing up in Columbus, I would frequently run into a few Ohio State players and coaches. Art Schlichter and one of the O-Linemen (his name escapes me) lived in an apartment complex one block north of were we lived. There was an outdoor pool that we (neighborhood kids) would sneak into where Art and roommate would hang out. 

My sophmore (Whetstone HS) season, Earle Bruce showed up in our lockerroom pregame. He was recruiting a couple of guys on the team. 

I college, I was hired to do security at a concert that featured Micky Gilley. I got to talk with him a little. Nice guy. We also did security for a band called Alabama. I hear they made it big, but not being a fan of country music, I have no idea what they sang. But they were all pretty cool back stage. They definately liked to drink and I shared a couple of beers with them.

I met Charlie Danials backstage at a show during Ohio Bike Week a few years back. Again, nice guy. 

On a flight to Nashville, I sat next to a drummer for some country band that made it big. I don't know who it is, but my wife and the other 2 women with us knew who they were and were getting autographs from the other members of the band that were in the rows ahead of us. Didn't mean much to me, but the drummer was pretty cool to talk with.

I met Red Buttons when I was about 5 or 6. My mom worked for his best friend at a shop in downtown Columbus. Buttons would come into the shop when he was in town. One time my mom had me with her when she stopped into the shop to pick up something and he happened to be there. I vaugly remember it, but from what I do remember, he seemed like a very kind person.

that's pretty god damn cool. two of the all-time great players in the history of football.

Both were very high NFL draft picks and NFL HoF'ers, but they weren't the best ever at their positions in the league. I think it's fair to say Deion Sanders is widely considered the NFL CB GOAT and Anthony Munoz the NFL OT GOAT. Having said that, I think if you are talking strictly college football careers/legacy- Woodson is the greatest college CB ever and Pace the greatest college OT ever.

Yeah, they were great players and it was an awesome opportunity to see them.

However, of all of the HS performances I ever saw, it was Tim Anderson at Clyde HS. They were playing Sandusky St. Marys and Anderson was playing DT. St Marys ran a sweep his way with a pulling lineman, the TE, a fullback and a tailback carrying the ball. Anderson tackled all of them to get the ball carrier. He was a beast.
