Most/Least Classy Players in the NFL (Vanity)

[Ultra Sonic 007]

This is a rather simple thread; who do YOU think is the classiest player (or players, if you have multiple choices) currently playing? You may even list a team.

On the flip side, what about those with the least class (points at Randy Moss)? You may even list a team (points at Vikings).

Also, you may even list those who have played and gone (players from the older days had a lot of class. Remember Gale Sayers?).

Who's your choice?

On the flip side, Shaun Alexander and the late Reggie White have been a few of my favs

(points to G-Men pictures, including one autographed by Strahan) Yeah. I've been a Giants fan since 97 (Fassel's first year at the helm). When you think about it, the Giants haven't really been the subject of what one would call 'negative' publicity. The only possible exception is Shockey, and even he's mellowed out some.

For the ladies on this thread...OooooLaLa!

Montana was a class act for SURE! Miss him.

Ah, the Minister of Defense...he was a GREAT man. Good Christian...and he denounced homosexuality as SINFUL! Politically incorrect to boot! Can't get much better than that. :)

As for coaches...I'm not quite sure, but I've heard Tom Landry was a pretty classy guy. Didn't he wear a business suit to the field every game?

Speaking of classy, I think Strahan deserves some notice.

Moss loves to fish....

Moss hates the media....

He can't be ALL bad.....

Current Players-No Class- now thats a tough call, my first names mentioned would be TO and Keyshawn Johnson, both loud mouth selfish jerks...
Class Players- Tedy Bruschi is a favorite,Jerome Bettis comes to mind as well.

I grew up watching Tom Landry on the Cowboy's sidelines. He always had a suit on (and his trademark hat) and in hindsight struck me as a quiet consummate professional all the way. Definitely a class act all the way

Class . . .

No Class . . .

Least classy? Bryan Cox and Bill Romanowski are retired....it's gotta be T.O.

Great post! Roethlisberger and Brady are pretty classy too.

[Petronski]

Tough odor? LOL


I always thought T.O. stood for Total Osshole.

A player I think has a lot of class doesn't even start any more. I am no Bengal fan, but I like Jon Kitna as he is a Christian brother and because of his stand on his hat a couple years back.

For those unfamiliar with it, Kitna once wore a baseball cap with a cross on it to post-game interview. The ignorant NFL fined him for it. (We all know that has it been the Islam crscent or something that would have been OK, of course)

He basically said "OK, but I am not going to stop wearing my hat, so fine away."

I had not heard that story . . . just wonderful! Thanks for sharing it . . . "because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." ~I John 4:4b

For the past few years, listening to sports radio has been like listening to the police blotter.
Management and head coaches that set the rules....and enforce them ...have class.
These days, teams payout so much money in contracts with good athletes with questionable character, management can't just cut them loose.
One guy never mentioned who never caught the breaks, didn't attend college, was never drafted....a walk in who got a job was Otis Sistrunk of the old Raiders. A work a day player, happy with the paycheck.

As I recall, the NFL ended up backing off and not fining him after all. In Cincy, though, it caused quite a stir at the time. Lots of folks sent him money to pay the fine, and thousnads of similar hats were sold during that time period to people who supported him.

Now you've really aroused my interest . . . so I found the story on WorldViews "Caps, Crosses and Kitna". The comments section is equally interesting. Thanks again. \o/

[BluH2o]

I am no Bengal fan, but I like Jon Kitna ...

Agree ... John Kitna is a class act, no question. Also, in the class act category ... Troy Aikman & Doug Flutie.

How about Steve Largent!?
