This guy has two thumbs and 12 years ago I sat right in front of Scottie Pippen from Chicago to Memphis. I don't recall having a camera phone and I'm not an autograph seeker so I wanted to say something. As he slowed down as he approached his seat I just sorta did a wink/head nod and said "Sup Scottie" and he replied, "Sup man" with his own nod.
Now to make this story go full circle, about 9 months later I was in the office scanning espn on my computer during some "down time". An article caught my attention titled something like Top 10 ways pro athletes go broke within 5-10 years of retiring. Down the list was was "buying a private jet". It told how costly fuel, insurance, pilot are all and that was before anything broke down. It then told that SP had bought a jet but it was finally grounded and repossessed as he couldn't afford to replace the windshield. The final line of that particular way to go broke was "See you in coach Scottie!" Which isexactly where I had saw him the prior summer as I was sitting in the first row of coach and Scottie, the 2nd.
On a related note sitting next to me was Gayle Wicker, Roger's wife. We had gone up there for a future business leaders convention and she was our sponsor.

This post is worthless unless you got some intel. Ask him if Alexis Morris signed on the dotted line.
I was on a Southwest flight with Archie a year or so ago.... he got to board first.... also he was on the phone for almost 2 solid hours before the flight with his hand over his mouth the whole time like he didnโt want anyone reading his lips like he was having top secret conversations....I was also surprised at how frail he looked.

Flying from Charlotte to NO for the NFCCG, in 09. Chick sitting in front of me. Somewhat stood out.
Flash forward to Saturday night, me and some of the boys were visiting one of the dancing establishments on Bourbon.
Chick who sat in front of me on the plane just happened to be working said establishment.
