My huge NBA friend told me the only player he had two jerseys of was Mutombo (Hawks and Nuggets).  He was the best there ever was at what he did, and then he also went and did so much good abroad

He was such a good guy off the court. I was always drawn to that type of athlete. I always loved the guys that were up there in talent, but were clearly dealt a moral compass in live that was clearly on a high character path. Mutombo was certainly a bright spot in the NBA for that category.

Now its Pete Rose

They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

There's a lot of smoke about Pete Rose and the Hall of Fame.  About how they should undo the ban, etc etc.  I don't know about that, but honestly I don't know much about baseball.  I probably couldn't tell you hardly anybody in the hall of fame, except maybe the usual suspects.  Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, etc.  But I can tell you who Pete Rose is, whereas I probably could not tell you anything about his contemporaries.  He's not only famous, he's infamous.

He was also in Midnight Run with DeNiro and Charles Grodin - GREAT flick if you've never seen it. That guy was a bounty hunter and the saga was even humerous

Maybe he and Toby can sort out that legendary exchange rumor now
Don't follow was there a note of discord?

Just Google the names and you will find the story about Willy Nelson's birthday party.  It's unclear if its true or not

Pretty much discounted as only a rumor but I prefer to believe it was true.

According to one article Kris/Toby didn't remember the incident but Kris's wife did and supposedly this was blurted out
