    My favorite WR in the league right now.


    Not all from the same town....but all from places that I've lived include Chaunce Billups, Hunter S. Thompson, Aberham Lincoln, John Micheal Montgomery and his brother thats in Montgomery Gentry, Muhamid Ali, The bands Days of the New, Tantric, Flaw, and many other Louisville bands.

    My sister was friends with Billups when he was at CU, I've got to play ball with him in my driveway a few times
