Last year I got into this thing about asking some of my friends who is the most famous person that they have ever met. I actually asked two separate questions. One, who is the most famous person that they had ever seen. And two, who is the most famous person that would call them by their name, the person actually knows them.

Michael Aisner, my friend and promoter of the Red Zinger/Coor’s Classic, etc. answered Jane Goodall, for the person that knows him, which I thought was marvelous. Dennis Kruse said Muhammad Ali, for most famous person he’d met, but wouldn’t know him. I thought that was pretty great also. I guess Michael forgot about his interview with Muhammad Ali. He did it when he was 17 years old. Pretty cool. Here is some of it in video form.

BTW, my answers were Lance by name and Michael Jordan as a sighting.

Oooooh, so close for Taylor Phinney. And Tejay for that matter. Taylor was a total of 8 seconds off of being 2 X World Champion this week.
