My cousin used to play for Aston Villa's youth & reserve team and he arranged for me to train with the 1st team. This was in 1998. I trained with Dion Dublin, Stan Collymore, Gareth Southgate, Paul Merson, Gareth Barry, etc. I also received front row seats to watch my beloved Liverpool beat Villa 4-2. Hat trick for Robbie Fowler.

Played basketball with 2 never-was players in Damon Stringer (OSU) and Melvin Levitt (Cincinnati).

Played football against Pepe Pearson, but got to watch Robert Smith for 4 years run over people in high school. My best friend's older sister dated a DE for my high school. The entire week of the Euclid game, he talked about crushing Robert Smith. I'll never forget Smith hitting the end and running that guy over, even stepped on his chest as he ran 75 yards for the score. My buddy's sister's bf was 6'4" and like 275 or so. It was funny

Played bball at ball state with Bonzi Wells, as well as against alot of great players from other MAC schools. Played in high school against Alan Henderson when he was at Brebuf HS. I used to play with alot of the Pacers during HS when they would come in the summer to open gym, as most of them lived in Carmel where I was from. Had the pleasure of playing with Reggie on my team a few times.

Does playing against, and with, the current UConn back-up kicker count?

I played against/with him in soccer, not football, though. He lives a few houses down from me.

Re: Anyone Play against any current or retired athletes?

I've played ball with Anthony Peeler, he's my best friend's cousin...dude used to be sick. Also saw Tyler Hansbrough play pick up, he left though before I could get a game in.

Played in a high school golf tourney with Tom Watson's son, Michael. He was actually really down to earth and hilarious...not snobbish or anything like that at all. Good golfer too as expected.

Played against the Rush brothers (JaRon and Kareem) in high school...holy hell were they unstoppable. I remember the game vividly because not only did they school everyone the court, JaRon shattered the bacboard with a slam dunk. Never played with Brandon Rush in high school but I saw a couple of times before he left. The Rush bros. were absolute killers in HS.

one summer we played in this torney called "bash at the beach"in NC. in the torney was a school called Mt Zion who had T-Mac/ Max Owens and a bunch of other D1 bound players.

I remember in the hotel we're all talking about what schools we're going to next year and someone asked T-Mac and he just said "NBA"

Everyone was like

1st play of the torney their center won the tap and tipped it towards him...he did a reverse dunk and our entire team in the stands

Re: Anyone Play against any current or retired athletes?

A couple of years ago I was able to play against Jason Taylor and Zack Thomas in B-ball. Jason Taylor was a beast! There wasn't anyone that could defend him down low, Zack Thomas on the other hand was just pure garbage.

I also got to play football against Dan Marino's son. I still remember laying his stuck up a$$ out. God I hated that kid. Always thought he could QB because of who his dad was.

Hey, Blue. What's up, man? I haven't seen you online playing COD 4 lately. I should let you know that I'm at level 16. I felt like such a badash and then realized that guys are up to level +50.

Brother, I started a great new job with that sports firm in St Louis and have had no time for for anything else. This weekend I will be settling in with COD4 and choops next week. Yeah, by the time I get back into COD4, I'll be left in the dust

Re: Anyone Play against any current or retired athletes?

Uh...I played road hockey against Link "The Missing Link" Gaetz once about 10 years ago. That's about it.

Wait, I also schooled Jim Thome in Triple Play 2001. Does that count?
