Honestly I think most athletes would be kind of disappointing to spend a lot of time with.. They tend to be kind of singularly focused people.. that would be less entertaining to talk to. I would go with the people who moved into broadcasting or sports writing.. to have dinner and hear their stories.
John Madden, Rich Eisen, Steve Sabol, Tom Kowalski
Babe Ruth
Probie
Ali
Jordan
EPIC conversation and party.
Dry aged Ribeyes, lobster, caesar salad, escargot, red wine (Pinot or Zin) asparagus with Hollandaise, Jacque Pepin garlic mashed potatoes, key lime pie cheesecake and a goodly amount of Maccallan 18.
Super fine dining traditional
For a guy who made his living getting his head punched in, he was a pretty deep individual
I would suggest that when they are like that it is in their prime playing the games.
For instance:
Moss - crazy pre-NFL life, he got jumped by 3-4 guys beat all their asses and got put in jail for it as a youngster which is why I think he ended up at Marshall
Many athletes have insane pre-professional lives. I love the fact that Gordy Howe insists he took the pre-season “tryouts” seriously for many of his first years afraid he might get cut….imagine. I am not a huge fan of Jordan due to how he shaded my boy Isaah but he clearly has gambling issues and his who father’s murder will always seem like we have never gotten the full or true story.
Sure some athletes are kind of boring. But so many have very inspiring life stories or takes on life. Especially the old school guys who some had to work other jobs or were not rich because they played. I get the current athletes are half borg because the money is so stupid that they become extremely focused on preparation and such.
I’m going for the oddballs. I’m looking for an entertaining evening.
Bill “moonman” Lee
Darryl “chocolate thunder” Dawkins
Dennis “the worm” Rodman
“Iron” Mike Tyson
Food doesn’t matter, but Tequila needs to be involved. It’s gonna make the hangover franchise look like a ten hour lecture on insurance.
The people I’d most like to have dinner with:
Food?? How about burgers and beer
me myself and I
spicy wings and beer
replay of lions @ pack 2022 season
Irene can come
Barry
Chauncy
Megatron
Goff
I’ve met Calvin, so, I almost said Amon Ra.
Calvin has a Jacket, though.
Mike Tyson, John Daly, Gordy Howe, John Gruden
Jared Goff
Justin Verlander
Sergei Fedorov
Ben Wallace
I have no idea how this dinner would go, but these are probably my 4 favorite players from each of the 4 sports in Detroit.
To be fair they all played sports.
Sports dudes.
Barry sanders
Mickey Tettleton
Ken griffey jr
Ricky Henderson, Mohamed Ali, the lsd no hitter guy, bill belichek.
Dinner would be some Midwestern casserole nonsense with a halal option for the greatest.
Ray Lewis
Marvin Harrison
OJ Simpson
Aaron Hernandez
Dinner: Pufferfish prepared by chef socko.
Seems like a fun time.
Love the guy
when I first graduated college, I was a school teacher… Living in Houston, Texas, I used to teach a unit on Muhammad Ali during Black History Month… The kids loved it
