Jeremy Hart asked to participate in the meme a way to share information from blogger to blogger to increase traffic and exposure of a site and give a more personal touch to a blog. Here goes…

1. I eat two sugar-free Popsicles before going to bed most nights. Not sure why, just got into the habit and routine.

2. I met Michael Jordan a couple of years ago at the Water’s Edge country club where I worked growing up near Smith Mountain Lake. I finally was able to ask him about the birthday card (with money) my cousins and I gave him in 1984 when we went to see a UNC practice in Carmichael Auditorium. We gave the card to Buzz Peterson to give to Jordan and we wanted to know if Buzz ever gave him that money. I asked MJ and he laughed saying, “you gave it to Buzz?, (laughing) then I probably did not get it”. MJ also drinks Corona while puffing a on cigar while playing with a great UNC Nike staff golf bag.

3. I have worked with ESPN on a number of telecasts. The most memorable story was working the 2000 or 2001 ACC basketball Tournament in Atlanta’s Georgia Dome. I was a runner that week doing a host of things, most notable hanging out with Brad Daughtery who was the sideline reporter. On Sunday morning (prior to the Duke-UNC championship game), Sports Center was doing a live piece with Dick Vitale and he was nowhere to be found. The producer told me to go find Vitale for the live interview. I found him in the Duke coaches locker room with Coach K and staff chatting and laughing.  Thus, Dookie V was born.

Now I have shared that, I must pass along this meme thread and I tap Marty Martin and Patsy Stewart
