Around the World: Goofy Looking White Guys That People Love

The Avenger's comments below about goofy looking white athletes (in The Obsession with Rocco Baldelli) really got me thinking. Here are some other athletes that deserve mention:

• The Manning Brothers: The love fest for these two started way before they both had rings on their fingers.

• Shaun White: Best Snowboarder in the World. The "Flying Tomato" has appeared in commercials ranging from Target to Hewlett Packard. I think he was hitting on my girlfriend, but that's another story...

• Larry Bird: John Mellencamp says Kevin McHale and Larry Bird Smoked Weed! Nahhh!!
  
  
  
  
• Gheorge Muresan: Anyone remember the cologne commercial? "Is that cabbage Gheorge?"
  

• Steve Nash: White MVP in the NBA, really, what's not to love?


• An anonymous "Sports Indeed" insider: White, goofy, and adored. Get Some!
