Damaramu 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2004 Ok they did this list this morning on my local sports radio station about the Top 10 dorkiest sports personalities. Of course it was more localized since it's in Oklahoma talking about how Jason White just looks like a dork(which i agree) and stuff like that but they brought some National Guys into it to. So I was wondering who everyone thinks are some dorky sports personalities? Who do you see on TV and say "if I went to High school with that guy I'd kick his ass" or you're just thinking "Jesus shut up you're embarassing yourself" b/c he just keeps doing or saying something dorky? I've got a couple. Like Peyton Manning. Why do I have the feeling that when everyone on Tennessee's team was out partying in college he was at home doing something nerdy? Plus the hair......I mean come on. I'd also after Saturday's Heisman proceedings like to throw Billy Simms on that list as a huge dork. I mean as soon as they announce the canidates he starts throwing out "Boomer!" only with him it's not Boomer it's "Boomah!" and then as soon as they announce Leinart he says "I guess I can't say Boomah no more!" And then of course I had him and White yelling it back and forth at one another last year at the trophy presentation and I just had to look away. Now that's dorky. So who do you think is a huge dork and tell us why. This should be a funny topic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted December 14, 2004 Curt Schilling is probably the biggest nerd to ever play sports. He was a big D&D player in his younger days and he's still a video game junkie now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slayer 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2004 Peyton Manning Seconded. His facial expressions on and off the field made me give him the nickname of "Mr. AwShucks" And while I've never cared for him as a player, he does make some good commercials. "Cut that meat! Cut that meat!" "Your defense is offensive!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted December 14, 2004 Donovan McNabb between his dancing and his "hyuk,hyuk,hyuk" laughs during interviews is quite the dork. I disagree here. McNabb seems like an awesome guy. He'd be the guy who'd go to all the wild parties because he knew everyone there, but not really do anything himself, just relax and chill with some buds.

the pinjockey 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2004 I am not saying he wouldn't be fun to hang out with, but that doesn't mean he isn't a dork. I see him as being the jester of a group, which is always necessary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damaramu 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2004 Whereas Peyton seems to go with the "Aww shucks" down home country boy look Eli appears to be going for the young "cool" guy with his wild hair and 5 O'Clock shadow. We all know Eli's a bigger dork....*looks at Peyton* ok maybe not. But something does run in that family. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The guy referred to himself as Trevie at one point. And then there's Lee Corso. I know he's eccentric but it's pretty god damn nerdy as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
