I can’t believe that I forgot about the most hated hometown player ever to appear in Indianapolis : Jeff George. Wated talent and a complete jerk. He grew up in this city and people STILL always hated him. I guess he is not currently “in” the NFL, though, so he gets off on a technicality

That may have been the absolute coolest thing I have ever seen in my entire life. Even having the creativity to come up with the IDEA of doing that was fantastic.

Yeah… I’m stunned that he planned far enough in advance to stuff the marker into his shoe.

On the upside, Owens and Sharpie are now doing some charity stuff together.
