Feel free to add your own.

Or ... tell me (and/or trev) that I'm full of shit.

[DallasFanatic]

You have a couple Cowboys on the list so you're good.

Kellen Winslow may get a nod from me. Not the soldier either.

[R-Jack]

I'm sure there are classy folks out there in the NFLPA past and present, but this is football fans judging the class of football players.

Some things are better left not discussed.

You don't know any of those guys well enough to comment on their personal character.

Oh, and Trev is full of shit too.

[poptart]

You don't know any of those guys well enough to comment on their personal character.

That's true.

We don't really know any of these people.
And it may be that they possess certain A'HOLE traits.

When I think of a classy individual I think of someone who carries himself with dignity and humility.
Someone who displays common sense and has a solid work ethic.
Someone who is excellent.
And someone who is perhaps a little bit unique, also.

The people I listed appear classy to me.

Yes, it could be that they have low character.
But if I wanted to show my son how to carry himself, I might point out these people and encourage him to use their public persona as a model for himself.

[R-Jack]

I do think the "Trev is full off______ too" could catch on, but that would be better left for CDS I think.

I’m assuming that the only reason I didn’t make your list is that I never played in the NFL. Thanks anyway.

[poptart]

I was thinking more of Whitey.

Or his daughter.


Or one of the Vogels.

[R-Jack]

The people I listed appear classy to me.

Key word there pop.

No disrespect to anyone who wants to use athletes as an example, but I don't think I will point to any athlete as a role model to my kids. Unfortunately that is up to and inlcuding work ethic.

[trev]

None of you are full of _______. Are ya?

[Goober McTuber]

Full of lines? That’d be Screwball and Derron. Both self-admitted samplers of the the Peruvian Marching Powder.

[Van]

I can only imagine what it must be like to have R-Jack as one's parent and role model. Hey, if nothing else, his kids probably tear it up at the schoolyard when it's time to play the dozens.

I'd pay to say R-Jack's and TVO's kids square off for a verbal throw-down at recess, with Dan Vogel's kid acting as referee.

:D

TVO..............kids?
Can't make a colon into a uterus, so my kids will win by forfeit.

[Van]

TVO could always become a foster parent just for the monthly paycheck and the opportunity to berate a captive audience.

[Goober McTuber]

He probably wouldn’t enjoy it when the kids reached age 12 and started looking down on him in more ways than one.
