I would like to hear that story. So they booked a photoshoot with the wrong quarterback? Did they not realize the team had more than one?

Here ya go...

This is an epically comical story courtesy of SI's Jeff Pearlman, that includes the following absurd characters: Rich Gannon, Elvis Grbac, the Kansas City Chiefs, and a dim-witted People magazine photographer. Prepare to feel life-long sympathy for Grbac.

Pearlman's yarn:

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.

Maybe that explains Marty putting Grbac in for the playoffs. He was just confused about who was the actual QB.

I think the study actually uncovers part of the "right 53" formula.

Sounds like CBS News should stick to news.

They're not good at that either.

I was laughing. Now I'm mad.

CBS News and the WSJ? :facepalm:

Keep this crap on GQ.

So being tall, dark and handsome in real life may actually mean you are overmatched, underwhelming and ugly on the gridiron.

Well, our hottness factor went up 10-fold when Shaun signed with Tennessee.

That is hilarious, I didn't know that. At the time, I couldn't figure out how Elvis had won that honor, now I know. It makes a lot more sense, thanks.

This has to be the dumbest bit of 'news' i've seen all day. I guess CBS was having a hard time coming up with something.

ugly is better .. left alone ....

Ladies, don't despair. Our Sporting KC soccer team makes up for this. LMAO

FTR, Tyler Palko, with his long hair, isn't bad to look at. Neither is Matt Cassel.
