Athletes who have won you over

 
I still hate Tebow.

That could be a by product of the love fest that sti goes on in Gainesville when Broncos games are on.

Ray ordered the hit, bro.

(honestly I have no idea, I've just always hated his ass)

Off the top of my head, I can't think of a player who fits that description....but I can think of a coach whom I despised for decades but have come to admire & respect as I have learned more about the man himself....and his attitudes & actions regarding important issues facing this country aside from his job as a coach....rather than just judging him by the color of the uniform on the teams he coached: Dean Smith.

That's the dumbest thing I've ever read.

Dean must have said something negative about George W. Bush that gave BKF a chubby.

Madness. I disagree.

And I do understand what you're trying to say. There are plenty of people at least as liberal as Dean, and they never wore that disgusting shade of blue. I don't see why Dean would be admirable for being like probably millions of other people.

Which reminds me, BKF, our mods have incurred some unexpected expenses and we would really appreciate a generous donation from the City of Randleman's audio-visual budget to keep things going here. Kthanx.
 
Shane Battier

I hate Dick and most of their players. But got to watch him in person 2-3 times at U-Hall. The guy just did everything right on the court. Not super talented, but maximized his talent and is 1 of the most fundamentally sound players I've ever watched.

I got to watch him way more times than that in Cameron. I agree. Doesn't mean I like him though.

Why is it so hard to understand that Lewis had his charges dropped in exchange for snitching and that he plead guilt on two misdemeanor charges?

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/nfl/news/19/06/04/lewis_agreement/

He was most certainly accused of it.

Not to mention even if he didn't directly murder the dude (which he was accused of), he was involved enough in a brawl that resulted in two deaths that he shouldn't be on this list. If that isn't enough, he had three assault charges prior to the murder.

Seems like a decent guy too. He and Brand are the 2 Dickies who I started off not liking and then really started respecting their games.
