Nash and Brees are pretty solid picks

WTF?!? Seriously, are you that big of a jacka**, or are you just trying to show why some people should not be allowed to pro-create?

I'd like some anecdotal evidence of this, and don't give me some bullshite about him not signing your baseball once. I've been around Ryno several times, and he's shown nothing but class to all the fans who were around him on all of those occasions.

Heath Evans is one of the best human beings I've ever met.

Guy absolutely loves his family.
Has strong faith but doesn't push it on anyone
Set up a great foundation for a cause that most people don't want to be bothered with (childhood sexual abuse)

I know Battier has been mentioned - he's probably the most approachable athlete you'll ever meet.

Isn't he #44 in this picture?

I'd say this qualifies as a dick move. But, I have heard about the good things he does, so I might be able to remove the "a-hole" label from him in due time. Still too soon though.

Warrick Dunn has been mentioned but he deserves another.

Drew Brees (obvious)
Steve Nash is a good pick too.

Really surprised nobody's mentioned Dikembe Mutumbo yet.

A few I haven't seen mentioned:

Alonzo Mourning
Curtis Granderson
David Ortiz
Sean Casey
Darren Sharper
Kerry Wood
Mo Rivera
Michael Lewis (Saints)
Vlad Guerrero
Chauncey Billups

I really don't see anything dickish in that picture. Victory cigars? Is that the supposed problem?

I said that more in jest than anything, but that's the cigar game at LSU in 1999. I don't really think Heath Evans is an a-hole because he participated in it.
