We played 11 on 11 immediate rush football without equipment for about fifteen years. Believe it or not he was pretty tough and never ducked a hit. Not a bad receiver either...one of those guys who made the easy ones look hard and the hard ones look easy.
I'd wager that most freepers would find him a pretty good guy to drink with.
I'll admit to some admiration for his showmanship.
I watched him during Hurricane Gustav encouraging his cameraman to step up on to a levee footing. I would not liked to have seen Geraldo's "daring" cause injury to somebody else.
