Stupid Sexy Grbac
Funny, random piece in The Athletic about my favorite Michigan QB of all time (tied with Harbaugh), Elvis Grbac. For those who don't know, Elvis was named People Magazine's Sexiest Athlete Alive in 1998, when he played for the Chiefs. Nobody was more surprised than Elvis, who said "There's guys in that locker room that are 10 times better looking than I am." As it turns out, it was a mistake--it was supposed to be his backup, Rich Gannon. The conspiracy theory is as follows: Grbac was the starting QB for KC in '97, then broke his collarbone. Rich Gannon stepped in. Long story short, the People Magazine people were trying to pick the McDreamy of the athletic world, and someone said that the QB for KC was really hot. By the time they got their act together, Grbac had recovered and was starting again, but People's people just shrugged and took pics of the "KC QB", which was Grbac. But it was actually supposed to be Stupid Sexy Gannon.

Great story. I was not aware.
January 23rd, 2020 at 9:06 PM ^
Apparently the people making the decision weren't "fully aware".
January 23rd, 2020 at 10:20 PM ^
Clap Clap to you, sir

Business up front, party in the back.

Does he actually have a mullet there or is that just the background? 1998 was pretty late in the game for the mullet.

Love me some Elvis.
Presley, Wolcott and Grbac. All legends in their own right.
I would name a kid Elvis, if the mom was willing.

It's gotta suck when you have an obscure/rare name, and are extraordinarily successful, yet you're not even the most famous/successful person with that obscure name in your own industry.

What? Name me ONE more famous Declan McManus.
Declan Patrick mcManus is King and his aim is true.

January 23rd, 2020 at 9:05 PM ^
That mistake probably got him laid upwards of 3 times!
January 23rd, 2020 at 10:13 PM ^
Seems like maybe opportunity cost was too high just to get a guy laid 3 times...even if his name was Elvis...no?
January 23rd, 2020 at 9:16 PM ^
Grbac to Alexander yeah boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
January 23rd, 2020 at 9:27 PM ^

El Cheapos didn't want to pay a $5 NFL licensing fee.

I lose a lot of respect for a man when he allows himself to be photographed barefoot.
January 23rd, 2020 at 9:44 PM ^
Does Elvis care?
January 23rd, 2020 at 9:47 PM ^
The picture is not for you
January 23rd, 2020 at 10:02 PM ^
Murderwolf is always photographed barefoot. And he is the sexist man of all time.

Is that an albino vikings helmet?
January 23rd, 2020 at 11:34 PM ^
I am pretty sure it is his high school (where he is AD now). There are the Vikings with that color scheme. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villa_Angela-St._Joseph_High_School

This is hilarious. Great post. When I was about 8, my 1st ever favorite NFL team was the Chiefs.
I knew nothing about them at the time except that their quarterback went to Michigan.
January 24th, 2020 at 7:14 AM ^
While that photo is sexy, this is sexier....
January 24th, 2020 at 8:13 AM ^
Roll back 10 years and those jeans would've been hella frosted.
