4. "He Hate Me" Rod Smart Oh XFL, how I miss thee. Actually I only watched about a quarter of one game, however it was a Las Vegas Outlaws game featuring one "He Hate Me" at running back. See, in the XFL players could put whatever they wanted on the back of their jerseys, and Rod Smart chose "He Hate Me." Why? I'll let Rod explain - "Basically, my brother's my opponent. After I win, he's gonna hate me. It is what it is. It's a saying I was saying when I'd feel something wasn't going my way. For example, (when) I was on the squad in Vegas and coach was putting other guys in, (if) I felt I'm better than them, you know, hey, 'he hate me.' See what I'm saying? Give me a chance. That's all I ask. It came from the heart. Within. The way I felt."
3. "The Spaceman" Bill Lee Bill was an articulate, charismatic pitcher/pot head for the Red Sox during the 70's (and Expos for a stint in the 80's,) who's "out there" comments to the Boston media earned him the nickname "The Spaceman." He was quite popular with his fans and teammates, as his flamboyant personality took center stage, relieving media tension in the clubhouse. On the field, he was never a stand-out pitcher. More of a junk pitcher, he would throw pitches like the Leephus (his Eephus) and the Space Ball. The world could use more originals like Bill.
Rod is a pretty deep guy.
