Did you beat any of them and do you have proof?

I've beaten 17 of them; probably could provide proof if my life depended on it, or I could make a few bucks. I'm not saying which 17, and I doubt I'm a better player than any of them (but could hang for a while with some of them).

P.S. - Especially in luck-filled rotation games, "You can beat all of the players sometime, and some of the players all of the time; but you can't beat all of the players all of the time.....unless you're Efren."
 
I played alot of the guys listed !

I played & beat a bunch of champions playing even...when i was running around doing the road thing...OH ! it was always when we were trying to lay a lemon down...had pretty good success with it a few times...people would ask me for the 8 but would play my friend even..lol:cool:

May I recommend that you put an Asterisk by the players that you beat when the race was to 7 or higher.
