Tony Gonzalez Farewell PC

[Deberg_1990]

Who cares what these guys act like off the field? Honestly...

Most of our sports heros are probably A-holes. But you know what? Its not like im ever gonna hang out and drink beer with them on the weekends, so what does it matter?

As long as they put up numbers on the field is all i care about. So long Tony, thanks for the memories.....

I'm the opposite. If a player is a likeable person but not the greatest player I can root for him. If a player comes across as an a-hole I can't root for him no matter how good he may be.

If they are wearing my teams colors, Ill root for them to perform when they are out on the field no matter what.


Do you think Cowboys fans ever loved T.O. ? But they loved every single TD he scored.

I care. I care how they act to the little kids that idolize them. If you're wearing a Tony Gonzalez jersey at a young age, and he's a dick to you, that should matter.

Willie Roaf was a stud player too, but he also took the time at 10:30 at night to sign for every little kid that wanted an autograph. That's a true professional, and not some "do it for the camera's" hero like Gonzalez always came across as.

We don't always think alike, but when we do, it's like you're reading my mind.

I hope the Falcons go 0-16 every year for the next 10 years.

I don't expect pro atheletes on my favorite teams to be perfect, but I find it hard to root for someone I think is an asshole. This is why if LJ comes back this year and is somehow tearing up defenses, sure I'll be happy the Chiefs are successful, but it will be tarnished cause I'm not rooting for the player as well. It's why I liked watching Priest more. Not only was he outstanding, but he carried himself well and was a role model for kids. (From what I've heard and seen.)
