Elvis Grbac: Not as sexy as initially indicated

June 24th, 2009 by Jeff Pearlman



One of my favorite all-time stories is about Elvis Grbac (left), Rich Gannon (right) and People Magazine’s Sexiest Men issue from 1998. It is both outlandish and 100-percent true.

Back in the day I knew many People staffers, and they were all cool, fun, intelligent—and woefully ignorant about sports. Every year, in planning the Sexiest Men issue, People’s editors would ask a bunch of us at Sports Illustrated for suggestions and insight. In 1998, for a reason I’ll never understand, they decided not to seek out help.

The magazine chose Rich Gannon as its Sexiest Athlete. At the time, Gannon was a member of the Kansas City Chiefs. Still a couple of seasons removed from his golden tenure with the Raiders, Gannon was 33, handsome and likable. In other words, a solid choice. Yet People, being People, simply informed the photographer assigned to the piece that the Sexiest Athlete was the Chiefs’ quarterback. Hence, he took pictures of the Chiefs’ quarterback. Well, one of the Chiefs’ quarterbacks: Elvis Grbac.
Yup.

The pictures made their way back to the New York offices, and editors were dumbfounded. This was their Sexiest Athlete? Yet upon learning the truth, no one with the magazine had the heart (guts?) to tell Grbac that an unfathomable mistake had been made. As a result, Elvis Grbac reigns as People’s 1998 Sexiest Athlete.

The article’s final line says it all: “His personality makes him sexy.”

Amen.

unless marty had convinced tim brown, jerry rice and charlie garner to play for the chiefs it wasn't happening

I am going based on memory and I remember it being a controversy and Gannon had the offense looking a lot better, that doesn't mean it was great.

I think most of the Gannon love is purely based on that SF game.

He was very good that day.

It's true he was a lot less chokey than Grbac, but in the end I don't believe he was good enough to beat Denver or Pittsburgh and certainly not Dallas.

there was definitely a different vibe with Gannon that year, even if they weren't putting up stats

A lot of it is that we were grinding out wins with Gannon and Grbac was poached ballsack in the playoffs.

Gannon had the Chiefs in the win column. Marty inserted Elvis and lost. Gannon went to the Raiders and that was that. AL got his cast off QB.

It definitely looked and felt different with Gannon.

Purdy reminds me of an early Gannon.

Just enough arm, just enough mobility, and never shits his pants in big moments...

I finally took her and everyone else off ignore like 7 or 8 years ago.

Somewhere in the teens she became the least annoying person I might have to deal with in the course of a day...
