These athletes are turning the stereotype of the inarticulate jock on its empty head.



But they have more on their minds than endorsements and bad calls. Just try to match the pros with their prose. 
   
1) "Life comes at us in stages.

Sometimes, those stages develop slowly .. Other times, they sneak up on us like a sadistic bunk mate with a sockful of pennies."  2) "I think that what's really unpatriotic is sitting by, allowing a president to make bad decision after bad decision ..



Silence is the enemy of democracy."  3) "I've done a lot of writing these last two years ..

I have written from the heart. I have written as a human being .. To those who have doubted, rest assured I know how to take care of business when it's time."  4) "It seems that in the daily grind of life we get so caught up ..

that we don't have time to change and evolve. It's like day to day we are just collecting puzzle pieces, and we need some time and space to actually put it all together."  5) "Just back from CES ..

I wanted to throw some kudos to the guys at Flying Labs. I am arguably the last person on the planet to think pirates and that whole genre are cool, but from my first 30 or so minutes of exposure to [Pirates of the Burning Sea], I can't say enough good things about it."
