Patrick Ewing. Hated Georgetown back in the day then Pat became a Knick. The last era where they were worth a shite. I also have a little bit of respect for Floyd Mayweather nowadays.

Brady and A-Rod.

Started to follow both of them on IG and FB and I see they’re actually pretty good people. Yeah, they have more money than God, but they seem to care about their families a helluva lot and take part in a lot of fan activities. A-Rod is great as a baseball analyst too.

Earnhardt. Liked him when he became an old man
No one liked him early on: in the 80s

Would love to see a breakdown of the people ITT who have grown to become Tebow fans because he’s outspoken about his religious beliefs; and they hate Lebron James because he’s outspoken about his political beliefs.

If I didn’t know better, I’d think the people who want politics left out of sports really just want opinions they don’t agree with left out of sports

Rickie Fowler.

Thought he was the Bieber of golf but he’s just a great dude living an awesome life. My 2nd favorite behind Tiger.

What do politics in sports have to do with Tim Tebow?

first marquee Bama player in a long time who kicked LSU’s arse.
That 24-15 game in 2009 was hardly an arse kicking, much less the 2010 LSU win.
I hated him waiving towels on Alabama’s sidelines in TS while injured as a rookie with the Saints. Still hate him.

Lebron. Watched him in Cleveland. Hated him in Miami. Grew respect for him during the Spurs’ series. Loved him in Cleveland. Pretty much hate him again in LA....it’s funny how quickly your feeling change for a player over their career when they move cities

Jerry Rice. I hated him and the 49ers with a passion when they shared the same division with the Saints. By the time he was almost done was when I really start to appreciate his greatness as a player. I was rooting for him to win another ring with the Raiders. That Super Bowl pissed me off the way they just played flat against Gruden and the Bucs.

Rickie Fowler for me, too.

Thought he was a preppy douche just by his outfits but after actually getting to know him he’s now my favorite golfer.
