Jennings is not that rare among the black athletes who make quick prayer-like gestures after a good play.

The best offensive player I ever saw was a black man by the name of Barry Sanders. After each and every one of his 109 career touchdowns he calmy handed the ball to the nearest ref and hustled back to his own sideline.

Too bad you missed seeing Jim Brown in action. He defined that class. It was Paul Brown, in the 1950s at Cleveland, who told his running backs and receivers "When you get to the end zone try to act like you've been there before." He also required every team member to wear a coat and tie upon arrival at the stadium, whether home or away.
