It has just got me thinking how many times we jump to wrong conclusions. Take for instance Tony Romo. gets slammed all the time but by all acounts he is a really stand up guy. a real good guy in the sport and life.

Even better example, Jeff Gordon. Everybody I know who have met him, including a good friend who served as his personal security for a night, say that he is very down to earth and nice to everyone.

But to about 80% of the NASCAR crowd he is the devil personified, of course we are talking about NASCAR fans though.....

You can tell a difference in TJ when he gets interviewed and some other NFL Players. He can actually talk, as opposed to like you know, it's like, man, let me axe you a question.

hahaha very true
I hate when they interview players and it looks like a training video for the Bloods and Cripz on how to present yourself in public

And I think it says a lot about TJ by what every teammate has to say about him. I've not hear a teammate say anything negative about him. I think it was even Bret Favre that said TJ was the heart of the team with his work ethic. And that was after only about a week with the team. The way the other players reacted in Chicago when Benson was put ahead of him on the depth chart. Not that Beson earned it but that it was given to him.

I think Jimmie Johnson is kind of going through that now. a lot of people, including me, thought he was "handed" the keys to the kingdom. Till I watched a piece about him and saw how he earned his ride I always though he had it easy, I was wrong.
