    O.J. Simpson was nice ... until he wasn't. Jayson Williams was nice ... until he wasn't. So while I have a long, long list of terrific people in sports, we should understand that most of us are only given a glimpse into the lives of elite athletes.

    I've got plenty of old John Force interviews that I can't make myself erase, just too many hilarious asides on everything but how the hell his car was doing. And he'd always give me 40 min when I only deserved five (and only needed five, for that matter, but that's Force).

    Golfers...Jim Furyk, John Huston, Phil Mickelson

    Tony Dungy is a nice-guy HOF'er.

    Since Sonner added Jim Laranaga, I'll add Jerry Moore.

    He had a relatively obscure existence outside of Boone, NC before Appalachian beat Michigan and won three FCS titles. As a fanboi alumnus, I carried on a conversation with him not too long ago, and nothing had changed about him since before ASU was thrust into the limelight on September 1, 2007. He would hold doors for old ladies and able-bodied 30-year-old men.
