Best and Worst Sportman and Role Models

Post by fleaflicker »

I was just wondering, who would you consider to be some of the best sportsman amongst today's players? And also, not that sports players should be role models for kids, but they are at times, so who do you think would be the best role model?
Personally, I was impressed when the New England Patriotsentered the 2002 Super Bowl against the Rams without the intros. They entered as a team, a unit of one, and beat the Rams. Also, you don't hear anything bad about Tiger Woods, really.
But certainly some of the worst would be Ty Law (thinks he's above the law), Ray Lewis (allegedly killed a man during the 2000 Super Bowl), and Ricky Williams (just busted for possession of weed). Isn't it unfortunate, and also, ridiculous, how many of these athletes have bad off field behavior?
