Well, yeah, they're mostly rich (except for the Olympians, I imagine...how much bling-bling does a bronze medalist in water polo get?). But there's also some pretty darn big names on that list...Elway, Staubach, Swann, Malone, Banks, Feller? I'd say they earned it.

We don't want to get into this game. There are 10x more athletes who will endorse Kerry, even non-Allen-Iverson types.

Actually, they don't. Atheletes by a large margin vote Republican. They are our counter to Hollywood and we should take better advantage of their support.

She's a very good actress, but a real dipwad in an interview.

He's reasonably articulate and intelligent, well-spoken, a down-home kind of guy.

I Prefer the Jimmy Kimmel Karl Malone......lol

Nah. Don't worry about that.... IMHO, 90% of the athletes that support Kerry wouldn't be able to sign let alone write a letter of endorsement......

They oughta put John Madden and whatshisname the other guy on MNF on that list. Rush played a few of their hilarious quips during game time some weeks ago.

I think we could add Albert Pujols to the list...after the Cardinals win tonight.

And I was doing my best to not like Beltran....wish we had him in left field.

I heard Elway wants to run for CO governor once Owens' term is up.

Bernie Kosar - NFL Quarterback, Ret.

Yes! I had an english class with this guy, back at U of Miami. Not only was he a great collge QB, but this guy is probably one of the smarter guys to ever play the game.

Athletes, especially football players, tend Republican.

Mike Ditka
John Elway
Bernie Kosar
Jack Kemp

After all, it's not a girlie-man sport!

Exactly...how did they get rich?
By sitting around eating chips and waiting for an inheritance?
They got rich like most folks who are rich get rich.

They earned it.

And it is fairly well known that when she walks into a casting director's office, it takes her about fifteen minutes to "close the deal."

Elway could help Bush and Coors in CO. He practically owns Denver.
