Strappin' Jack Elway?
I was surprised Beltran was on the list. Not that I had any reason to think one way or another. I was also a bit surprised that Munoz was a signator.
I always suspected Karl Malone might be a Bush guy. This was the first confirmation of that that I remember right now.
ELWAY!
How come Ditka isn't on the list? He's in the Hall of Fame....
I love John Elway.
I am not surprised to see Lynn Swann on the list. He is one of the most intelligent pro athletes ever.
Al Michaels (MNF play-by-play), Jerome Bettis, and Troy Aikman are also big Bush contributors!
Karl Malone came to the Iowa straw poll back in the 2000 election season. He also came to visit GWB in the White House after he won. It's good to see he is still a big supporter! I was half afraid he'd turn liberal Dem after he moved to California to join the "Lakers"; but I guess he's still a Repub./Bush/Cheney supporter!
Anthony is head of Bush-Cheney 04 in Cincinnati. He's as Republican as Reagan..and a great guy.
Karl Malone has always been a big GWB supporter - was half expecting him to speak at the convention. Also, one of my favorite athletes as I'm from Utah (we've forgiven his move to the Lakers last year).
Anthony Munoz had a cameo part in The Right Stuff. The Alan Sheppard charecter went into his Jose Jimenez routine,I think Munoz had give him an enema.It was pretty funny.
Of course Ernie Banks is for W's re-election - let's play two!
I heard he was going to be in a movie about O.J. Simpson and Nicole. He was going to play the slow white Bronco.
lmao.........OUCH. We also call him the 2 minute man.
I'm not touching that line with a ten foot pole!
Adam Dunn and Chris Spielman!! Whoot Whoot!
Rob Bentz wrote this about Chris Spielman in Sports Spectrum:
When Chris Spielman played for the Buffalo Bills, he was everything a middle linebacker should be: tough, strong and smart, with passion, total commitment and loyalty to the game. He played the entire 1995 season with a torn pectoral muscle that he sustained in the season opener.
But the game took a distant second place in this thinking during the 1998 season. He chose to stay home. He cooked, took care of his kids, and cared for his wifeby choice. Stephanie, Chris's wife, was struggling through the stark reality of breast cancer. Surgery, chemotherapy and nausea were Stephanie's opponents. During her fight Chris was at her side; his actions supported his "family before job" credo.
Asked by a reporter from the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle if he'd consider a return to the Bills late in the season, Spielman said, "I'd play in a heartbeat, but what kind of man would I be if I backed out on my word to her? I wouldn't be a man at all."
Football fans saw Spielman as a man because of his aggressive, leave-it-all-on-the-field style of play. But what really makes him a man? It's his personal sacrifice and unending commitment and loyalty to his wife.
