My 2nd one:

Jennie Finch

Mike DeWine

John Daly

Tony Perez

Kirk Herbstreit

No one has done this beyond an incorrect Daly guess.

Any others not completed quote them again to the most recent post to better keep track of where we are. Most of us can probably muster up 3-4 of these.

Hold up….remember me about what you do with the Spelling Bee again?


Me and another guy work on all of the software that the Bee uses to run their program. This includes software for running the competition on tv, plus a bunch of other portals that are used throughout the year by spellers, sponsors, and schools.

Why???


After College my wife got a job in Kansas. I moved with her and found a job selling and running conference calls. The company I worked for was a very high end teleconferencing company. Sometime the calls I would book and run were press tours. 


Skip Bayless was releasing a book so I would connect him from Radio Station to radio station as he went live on air. Most guys would only come on right before the call and get off right after. He stayed on the line and Bs with me the whole time. 


Another funny story from then was doing  a press conferences for Jack Black. It was Jack Black and a bunch of reporters asking him questions about a movie he was in. I had to come on the line and say “if you would like to ask a question press *1 now” After I say this Jack Black says *1 Bitches.

Nope. Met him in 1997 in Groton, CT. He came to tour the submarine base while I was stationed there.

No.  Played a basketball game with him (Browns players vs. Faculty), then hung out.  Nice guy.

No, it was as minimal as it can get but the year after he stopped playing my son and I stayed through a long delay and snuck down and sat in 2nd row right behind Reds dugout. I kept staring at the guy in the front row 2 seats over, looked so damn familiar. It took me an inning but I figured out it was Leake and his wife. He was cheering on a rally against the Brewers like any regular Reds fan. There was no one sitting between us and Reds pitcher gave up a big 3 run HR to crush the Reds chances. The HR pretty much cleared out the remaining fans and we are walking up the stairs out to the main level and I look at him and said “could’ve used you out there this evening” he smiled and said thanks man, I loved  it here.

He had bulked up probably 20 lbs and made it tougher to recognize

Nope. Probably know him and Tirico the best of anyone. Years on Notre Dame, and they use a number of our products each week. Flutie stayed at our hotel, so often had breakfast with him.
