Yeah. He's such a cool guy. Met him at a golf tourney and I knew a couple of people he went to highschool with so we struck up a conversation. He gives off absolutely zero hint of entitlement and seems almost overly humble.

Shaq seems like a good guy. Brees of course. Bradshaw seems like a good guy

flutie is a big supporter of the clintons so some right wing a-hole will hate him for that -- such as me for example

Funny thing about threads like this: 2-3 years ago, one of the most popular answers would've been Marvin Harrison.

I think for the most part, people don't know athletes but just like when they don't express any substantive opinions, demonstrate any passion, and stay off the police blotter.

Feel like this could be said about Tiger Woods to an extent. And hell, people loved OJ Simpson before the whole murder shindig.

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.

The time he tried to molest Suzy Kolber on national tv doesn't help his cause.
