5 ATHLETES YOU CAN'T HATE

Brett Favre- If you don’t like Brett Favre…you gotta like Brett Favre. Come on, this guy is the definition of football, he plays cause he loves it, doesn’t care about the money, he just wants to win. He’s played through injury and heartbreak and you just gotta feel good when you see this guy do well. I hope they go deep in the playoffs… he deserves it, and he probably has the best facial hair in all of sports.

Derek Jeter- If you’re a Yankee fan 95% of you will name your child Derek. The other 5% will name the kid Jorge. If you’re from Boston you probably hate Jeter and that’s what makes Boston fans retarded, your all just rich yuppies who don’t know anything about sports. Hate him if you want, but give him credit where it’s deserved. He’s the poster boy for the biggest franchise in all of sports and understands what it is to wear pinstripes. If your favorite team is not the Yankees or the Red Sox, you’d probably give up anything to have this guy on your team.

David Ortiz- Can’t believe I’m saying this but I’m not an idiot. He rules, plain and simple. He knows how to play in the clutch, he loves to play, and he makes some of the funniest commercials I’ve ever seen. I’m a Yankee fan and if he ever came to New York I would not be upset at all. That’s what fans have to learn these days. I don’t care where you came from or what you did to me in the past…you’re swinging the bat for me now.

Jamie Moyer- Come on, any guy who’s over 40 and looks like they pitched during Ruth and Gehrig’s era is awesome. Moyer just looks the coolest.

Paul Pierce- You gotta like this guy. He’s been an all-star playing on what seems like a high school team. I’m happy that he finally has a team that can compete this year. He’s worked to hard to never have a good shot at a title, good for him that he can finally make a run at it. He’ll probably get hurt though.
