Just to name the first ones that popped into my head

[Unoriginalname]

I don't think anyone has mentioned Tim Brown yet. Pure class act and one of the best wide receivers that ever played.

You can't hate Jeter either. Ok, if you're a Red Sox fan and you hate on Jeter just to get on Yankee's fans nerves, that's fine. But Jeter is easily one of the most professional, humble, classy players in sports. You can't legitemately hate the guy.

[Jack of Arcades]

I don't hate the guy, but I'm tired of all the handjobs he gets from everybody.
