Upon hearing that former NBA player John Amaechi disclosed in his new book that he is gay, Shaquille O'Neal said that if he had a gay teammate, he would "protect him from outsiders."

We see them keeping up appearances in every, sense of the phrase, whether they are the Distressed Gentlefolks Aid Association or the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, with their staff of almost...
...approach to the line of scrimmage also fools defenders. Chargers fullback Lorenzo Neal dubs it "slow to, fast through." When Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers gives Tomlinson the ball, he tries to run to the line at about three-quarters speed. "You can't be going full speed," Tomlinson says. "Some guys run too fast and can't stop and make a move. Or they run into their own lineman, and the linemen hate that." The stroll lulls the defense to sleep.
