    This a a true story. I know I don't post much (I think this is my 2nd or 3rd post) but I had to tell the BBS peeps about it.

    I was at IAH last night picking-up a friend who was coming back from San Diego. She rode United Airlines from San Diego with a stop-over at Denver before coming here to Houston (at 11:57PM, fight #584). At the baggage claim my friend and I noticed this guy who was talking (kind of loud) on the cell phone, with a fine FIIIINE female creature standing next to him. Suddenly the guy turned around and it was Moochie Norris! :eek: After i had gotten over the fact it was him I knew I had to say hi (plus, I wanted to finally have something worth posting on the BBS)! :D So, I approached him and this is how our conversation went:

    ME: "Hi, are you M..."

    Moochie: "MOOCHIE?! Yes, nice to meet you... What's your name?" (Shook my hands)

    ME: "Oh, my name is Mark."

    Moochie: "Nice to meet you Mark."

    ME: "Same here. Say... You going to sigh-up with the Rocks, right?"

    Moochie: "Aww yeah man! I want to... That's why I flew back here, to take care of that stuff..."

    ME: "Well, I hope you do... Well, I gotta go it was nice meeting ya!"

    Moochie: "Aight man."

    My impression of Moochie was that he was really down-to-earth. Unlike other NBA players (Shawn "I'll take value meal number 1, 4, 5 super size em" Kemp.) Moochie, on the other hand, seemed genuinley glad that a fan approached him and said hello.

    About his answer... I really did not want to seem like I was prying into his buisness so I didn't ask anymore. Plus it was already late at night and I'm sure he's tired from the flight, I'm sure the last thing he needs is a stranger telling him what to do with his future. His answer was not a direct YES but he seemed like he wanted to play here with the GOOD GUYS. :D I certainly hope he does!

    Hope you guys enjoyed the info as much as I liked gettin it.

    Good job. At least you asked him the question we'd all want to know. Sounds like something might happen this weekend.

    Could this mean...

    A. Rockets have made their final offer

    or

    B. Moochie has told Feagan, make it happen

    or

    C. Moochie just needed a haircut and his stylist is back from vacation

    D. A&B

    Enquiring minds want to know. I'll vote for D! CD/Feagan lets get it done. We've bent over for Feagan's clients and now its time for him to give a little.

    Feagan, "Let our Moochie sign."

    This info about Moochie is the kind of stories I like to read. Now can someone put a bug at Westside Tennis Club or Rocket Headquarters for even more insider information...:)
