When I worked at Miller beer in Dallas, I met a few of the players from the Dallas Cowboys. The one notably was Troy Aikman. He was a very quiet nice guy who talked to me for a good ten minutes about how we made the POS and graphics.

The only disappointing thing I could think of was when I shook his hand he had a "dead fish" grip. I have a stong handshake and I was worried that it would be reported on ESPN that he wouldn't be able to play a few games due to a hand injury due to some idiot with hands like a bear. Man I would have been hated all over Texas.

I met Shag once at an art show in Dallas, I don't recall how he acted b/c I was.. um... altered. I want to say my band drove him out of the gallery. (shruggs shoulders)
