Gonzo's SuperBowl Celebrity Sightings Thread

[Gonzo]

So as many of you know, I've been gone for over a week running a security team in San Fransisco for Super Bowl related stuff and things. Right now, outside my hotel window I am watching an awesome fireworks show.

Well, SF should've worked a bit harder on cleaning this shit hole up but that's neither here nor there.
Anyway, I posted in my road trip thread about a few celebs that I met/saw yesterday but it's really worth starting a new thread now.

It all started with Alyissa Milano doing her whole NFL shop thing. I escorted her around the hotel and all. Very nice and polite.

Then a biggie for me, Neil Smith. We all hated how he went to Denver but hey, he's still one of my all time faves. I'm no small man myself but he dwarfs me.

Stephen A. Smith and Chris Berman. Meh

The biggie today? I was standing on the street corner, waiting for the signal and there stands Marcus Allen. I liked to shit. I don't get star struck but he was one of my big Chiefs heroes growing up.

I didn't bother taking up his time but I did acknowledge him, as he did me. Let me say, dude still looks like he could strap up and never take a loss.

I'll keep you all updated. This city is obnoxiously loud at all times and I really want to go home. I miss Lumpy and Hunter like hell. 9 days is a long time. However, seeing these guys is pretty cool.
It's a shame I can't get pics and autographs etc. but my job is my job. Gotta stay professional and all.


Edit: Forgot to mention Cam Newton on Tuesday. That is one big mofo.

I'll keep you all updated.

[TimBone]

Cool shit, man.

[cabletech94]

fantastic!!!

PICS OR GTFO!!!!!!

:):):)

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

I love me some Alyissa Milano

[displacedinMN]

Alyssa Milano!!!! lucky dog.

[Kman34]

Cool... Hope you meet some more...:clap:

[Dartgod]

If you see Christian Okoye, ask him where my autographed picture is.

TIA

[teedubya]

I met Alyssa last year at the Taste of the NFL Superbowl party. She gave me a quick handjob, I mean handshake and was very friendly. Super hot for 43.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Danza hit it

[BlackHelicopters]

Need pics of Alyssa.

[lewdog]

No pictures and no autographs.

Sounds made up.

[Easy 6]

You escorted Milano around the hotel?

:clap:

ps - need pics

[SAUTO]

He's fucking security guys.
How intimidating is a security guard taking pics?
Not at all.

[gblowfish]

That's pretty cool. I've met some sports celebrities over the years as part of my career. I made Jesus videos for a well known organization, and met lots of big names like Tom Osborn, Tom Landry, Mike Singleterry, Karl Mecklenberg (who was a douche), Raymond Berry, etc etc etc. The nicest guy I met was an NBA ref named Ed Rush. He was a really funny guy and told great stories.

[stevieray]

I met Cris Carter and Tom Jackson when I went to the SB. Saw DJ and Denny Thum on the flight home.

[Dayze]

I would hope Gonzo was standing next to Milano like a secret serve guy pose.....then very slowly lean over and whisper into her ear "......would"

Where does Gonzo live? Keeps trashing San Francisco, which is a great city.

His experience isn't surprising to me. Big cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, etc. can be a turnoff to those that aren't used to city living.

I had a co-worker from St. Louis that had a friend visit LA one weekend about 10 years ago. My co-worker took her to the Santa Monica Pier and she asked "Where are all of the Americans?". My co-worker replied "These are Americans".

She wouldn't leave the the apartment the rest of the weekend.

It's no different than people trashing KC


...it's all subjective.

So how did you end up with this gig, Gonzo?

Didnt know you worked in the security field.

I loved Vegas, LA and Santa Monica on this trip.
Not surprisingly, the places I stayed were clean with no homeless screaming by my window all night and no ambulances howling every half hour.

SF is fucking filthy. Trash, human and dog shit everywhere etc n

The food is good though.

Interesting. I haven't been up to SF in probably 5 years but I don't recall it being dirty and nasty.

That's pretty strange, considering it's the Super Bowl week and one would think that they'd roll out the red carpet and clean up the homeless for a week.

Oh well, glad you enjoyed the other cities! :)

...it's all subjective.

I know so many people in Los Angeles that LOVE KC that it's really difficult to imagine that actual visitors trash it. We had a play date tonight and the mommy was just in KC recently for business and she raved it about.

We've got close friends from LA whose older parents (also from LA) went there for a wedding and said "We could move here in a heartbeat".

The only issues that I can imagine someone having with KC, especially those from bigger, more urban cities are the lack of a subway and/or light rail, public transportation such as busses and maybe the fact that it's really spread out.

But "trashing" seems a bit extreme.

[Toby Waller]

cell phone age...and nothing but words in the thread?

Hey, you don't have to convince me, I'm totally proud of being from here.This town rocks.

[GloucesterChief]

I like visiting big cities but I couldn't live in one.

Well, I live on the outskirts of Houston now but Houston is so spread out it doesn't feel like a big city.

Do people still say that kind of nonsense? Wow.

"Excuse me, Ms. Milano? Hey, I know I am your security and this is completely not protocol, but would you mind if I snapped a quick picture of you so I can post it on ChiefsPlanet and validate my story of meeting you? Thanks so much! And remember, tits up and ass out! You're the best, Ms. Milano!!"

Huh? Santa Clara/Bay Area is not dirty, certainly not covered in shit.

I've been to SF many times over the years, visiting the wife's family, and I've never gotten the impressions you're posting here.

I think it's another case of someone trashing a big city so they feel more content with the reasons they live in Nebraska.

I got the same shit from people back home about where we moved to. However, in that case, those douches had never even been here.

[scho63]

I lived in San Fran from 1996-1999 and the city was dirtier than I expected in areas, especially all the parks with the homeless and drug addicts. I lived in Mountain View from 1999-2002 and that place was great.

I've visited many times since including June of 2013 and I actually thought it was cleaner than the last times I was there. Overall I would say it was mostly nice with pockets of seediness and filth.

Another city that was much dirtier than expected was Toronto. I lived downtown on the corner of Yonge and King St from 2006-2007 and that city had a lot of filth and bums. I was shocked

[Mile High Mania]

Sounds cool... I did security in Dallas for the SB a few years ago, mainly escorting celebs around Jerry World. The NFL security teams have strict no picture and no autograph rules, kinda sucks, but it was cool.

I spent a summer in San Fran one summer. Rode BART everywhere. Fantastic city.

She totally brushed up against me during our selfie, EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

[MahiMike]

Sweet. Enjoy SF. Cool town.

[Otter]

Haven't been to San Fran for a couple years but I have nothing but good memories although I really think they should feed the homeless to the sharks. Only place I've ever been to in the world where I can say I never want to go back to is north Jersey, specifically Patterson and Newark. Now those are shit holes that need taken out with nuclear energy.</br></br>Have fun brother, you're in the home stretch.

Peter King's description completely jibes with Gonzo's experience:

http://mmqb.si.com/mmqb/2016/02/07/super-bowl-50-broncos-panthers-peyton-manning-peter-king

San Francisco is one of the greatest cities in the world. Of that there is no doubt. But the scene I saw walking the 20 or so minutes from the Nourse Theater through the Tenderloin district back to my hotel in Union Square Thursday night after the Bennet Omalu speaking engagement was frightening. Sad and frightening. I’ve got no problem with panhandlers; I live in New York. And the homeless issue in New York, obviously, is a major one.

But I have never seen the number of homeless, block after block, people of many ages, many appearing to be under the influence of something. In a 1.2-mile walk, I’d guess there were 75 to 100 either sleeping on the sidewalk, encamped against a building or seeking help from passersby.

This is obviously not my area of knowledge, and the stat that the median rent for a one-bedroom apartment in San Francisco in 2015 hit $3,530 is jaw-dropping. But we’re in a sad place in this country when in one of our great cities we simply accept that scores and scores of people live and sleep on the sidewalks.

I was just in Toronto last year and was pretty impressed. I don't remember where I was, but I remember seeing Yonge Street nearby.

The local government here started a "camping ban" because homeless addict men all decided to sleep on the sidewalk in the touristy part of downtown since that's where they can panhandle and annoy the most people with the least amount of effort. We were a little worried that it would push them out into the residential neighborhoods, and that happened to a minor degree, but not bad.

Then apparently the feds said that a camping ban wasn't legal, so now our tourist area at night is tourists and disgusting, filthy addicts. They've also taken to sleeping in the covered bus stops so that productive people can't use them any more.

The problem used to be related to the economy. In a good economy we had very few homeless and in a bad economy we had more (but not bad). Now every disgusting filthy addict in the country is coming here because of legal marijuana and I have to walk by 30 a night on my way home. I really hope that other states legalize marijuana soon so you can take all of your losers back (and I include Von Miller in that group).

I have a picture with Neil Smith when he came to Springfield a few years ago. There was some shindig going on, and he was some sort of judge. He kept hitting on one of the waitresses and getting her to be his date for the evening.

Anyway, I can't imagine any major city dirtier than Memphis as a whole.

Toronto is one of the most underrated cities in the world. In the summertime it's great to go visit the islands by boat and see everything the city has to offer. Easy to get to by plane and cheap.

With the Canadian dollar, the Loonie, so down in value against the dollar, it's a great time to visit. :clap:
