I have told this story before, but Jordan is a Prick when it comes to money and ego. I have played golf with him twice and if he beats you he wants the Cash before you get off of the 18th fairway, but if you beat him he says F*ck you! And has gone as far as saying "I am not paying, dont you know it is an Honor to play with me.

He has done this too a close friend of mine more than one time.

And I have seen him stiff caddies as well, here Im taking care of his caddie and this guy is worth millions, same thing it is an Honor for this kid to carry his bag.

You've played golf with him? He sounds like trash with all these stories. Can't imagine that $800 would make a dent in his bank account.

Boy, I always thought Jordan was a nice and classy guy but wow the real Jordan is a massive asshole. Notice though how this only happens with black athletes.


I know a bunch of people who have met Yogi Berra on different occasions and all felt that he is a total asshole. He's white so I hope that makes you feel better.

I totally disagree! I have been around Yogi when Bobby Murcer was alive, and I have never seen that side of him. To each his own.

There are plenty of white athletes who are major league assholes as well. Mike Schmidt is the first to come to mind.

For the guy who asked about what Reggie said to me, it was something along the lines of "Goddammit kid, can't you see that I'm busy?.... yadda, yadda, yadda." Didn't look too busy to me.

My mom and I still talk about what an asshole he was 30 years later.

No, it wasn't because he didn't sign an autograph. It's the fact that he went out of his way to berate a little kid for politely asking when he was aimlessly walking around downtown. He could have said, "no", "not now, kid" or even just ignored me and I wouldn't have thought much of it.

Ask anybody who has met Reggie and most all with verify that he's a jerk.

ryan leaf is caucasian.


Though Ryan Leaf is an asshole I think we are talking about great Players.
Don't think you would put Ryan Leaf in the same group as Reggie, Jordan or Berra(who might not be such a bad guy after all)(<)<

I met Reggie at Atlantis - he is a complete and utter jackass. He sat down at a blackjack table where I was the only player. He then asked the pit boss to have me removed as he wanted his own table. I told him he could kiss my ass, I'd been there all day and was playing $200-500 and he was playing $100. The pitboss was totally cool and asked me if it was ok if Reggie stayed. I told Reggie he could, but he had better hit his 16s.

Reggie is a complete ass, but probably not as big a one as Clemens.

On the bright side, Iverson, Duncan, Garth Brooks, Tara Reid, Kornikova, Brady, Barkley, and Terrell Owens are all very cordial guys in person. The late Payne Stewart was the best celeb out there. When I was about 10, I carried his score sign in Akron Ohio. Most golfers gave you a ball. He took myself and about 5 other kids up on the practice putting green for about a 30 minute putting lesson. Total Class (Also seen in the Ryder Cup)

I love Yogi Berra....took time to talk baseball with me in the late seventies when my beer route was Anahiem Stadium...

About Jordan...the guy and Joe Morgan were turned away from Newport Country Club in Rhode Island when they tried to walk on as uninvited guests...guard at the gate was told by management that they were tresspassing and told to turn them away....some funny shit there...

While the Jordan subject is up....the credible rumor is Stern called him in and was going to suspend him for two years from the NBA. for gambling Struck a deal where he left for 2 years to pursue his dream of playing baseball.....oh and he thinks he can be a pro golfer too. The nba keeps its image...Jordan keeps his endorsements.

rumor is a rumor for a reason. no evidence that is legit. they also wouldnt be able to hide something big.
