this may be as much a function of where you are/were in life as much as anything else. standouts to me: living in virginia while Michael Jordan was at NC living in alabama when Bo Jackson was at Auburn living in michigan when Wayne Gretsky was a Red Wing oops! etc

As a kid I followed Rod Carew's every at bat like it was life or death.
For football, probably Barry Sanders.
Hockey, Gretzky obviously.
Basketball, Larry Bird.

The coolest athlete I've ever had the pleasure of meeting and hanging out with - Gilbert Brown, hands down. Reggie White was cool but not the same as Gilbert.
Jarrett Bush is actually a cool guy too.

Not necessarily in order: Dan Gable, Gene LeBell, Sakuraba, Rulon Gardner, Randy Couture, Brooks Robinson, Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle... these are the guys that come immediately to mind, I'm sure theres a couple others.

Should make a disclaimer here, I would've said Brett Favre until he texted pics of his junk, didn't show up for training camp twice with the Vikes, and threw that miserable int against the Saints, the most idiotic throw in NFL history.

Interesting caveat here. Care to share why? I think I just did? Basically I'm saying I kinda lost respect for the guy at the end of his career, although he put together THE best QB season in the entire history of the Vikes in 2009.

I don't really look to athletes as role models, just genetically gifted entertainment vehicles. I can understand your faltering with Farve, but who hasn't sent a dicpic?
