Archie Manning is a good dude. Roger Clemens lives up to his reputation of being a professional turd.

in what context did you meet him? I've known him for quite some time and met him through our son's playing on opposite teams since they were little, and he's always been an awesome person. His wife, Pat, is even more awesome.

One more good guy I spent a fair amount of time with was Bruce Bowen who played for the Spurs. He and I sat in the SAT airport waiting for the same flight to Atlanta and chopped it up about Coach Bud (the Hawks had just hired him and he also had just gotten a DUI, which I shocked Bowen by telling him).

Nicest: Alex Morgan. She signed my daughter's stuff and all the other kids in the stands. Some of the boys were looking her up and down. That was nice to see.

Rudest: never met one.

Wouldn't it be crazy if it turned out OJ really didn't do it?
