Name one...

Non Cowboy...

Artist it's hard to dislike...

You can name an old timer but considering they never had to deal with social media and digital scrutiny, you're leaving a lot to the imagination, but your call...

For me...

Shaq

Agree, Shaq. He has a boisterous personality and seems bigger than life. We happen to share the exact same birthday too :)

Did you just watch Tanked also? :muttley:

I am an Olajuwon guy but wouldn't have been upset is Shaq was a Rocket.

I'd never admit it publicly, but I always like Darrell Green.

That guy was a great football player and, by all accounts, a really good person. I would have loved to have had him on our team but he was a Skin.

I look at it this way, he's there saving grace!

Walter Payton was the great guy he appear to be, was awesome to meet him!
Got to meet Muhammad Ali twice, what mega superstar would let just a stranger sit down
at his dinner table! Mario Andretti just because he is probably the coolest man alive!!!!

I was just trying to remember Reggie White. It's difficult to admire people we play against. Those are usually the ones aggravating me.

I watched Better Late Than Never and found great respect for George Foreman. The man was friends with the guy he beat in the Olympics and grieved when he died. He said he'd have been nothing without that man. He'd been told he was going to a certain village to judge in a beauty pageant for goats. Terry Bradshaw was barking about it because he raises goats. After an awkward goat pageant, that former Olympic foe's family had been brought in and came out to greet George as a surprise. He had tears in his eyes as he hugged each one. Towards the end of their trip each man was given a wish to fulfill. George wanted to go and encourage young boxers at a local facility. Terry saw a small child and drew his attention to the young boy that was unintentionally pushed aside in everyone's excitement. George picked the small boy up so he wouldn't be left out.

Manuel Neuer, German Goalkeeper. He seems like a very nice person, and he is an incredible goalkeeper. Coming from a fan of AFC Bournemouth, Team England, and Team USA.

Rap artists or singers like Beyonce. Not dislike per say, just don't care if they existed or not.

Green and Monk have done terrific work in the DC community since the 80s.

Warrick Dunn - his charity work is remarkable, including his "Homes for the holidays" program.
