In England, it's a rare thing to see a player smoking but, all in all, I prefer that to an alcoholic.

The truth is, what Americans enjoy about football is much of what makes the sport dangerous.

Votes: 2 Naveen Jain
When you think of the former high school football star, you think 6-foot-2, white, meathead as the model for that kind of character.

Votes: 2 Donald Glover

I was captain of Wales; I've been captain of numerous football clubs. Votes: 3 Vinnie Jones
I'm in the NFL now, and it's nothing like what we did at USC. Not at all. The only difference between my college and other colleges is the games we won and the attention we got because of it. Obviously being in Los Angeles plays a huge role in the publicity. We don't have a football team in L.A., so we kind of are like the pro team. Votes: 1 Ryan Kalil
My mom's whole side of the family, they're all Packers fans. My mom's a Bears fan. My stepdad is a Vikings guy. So that gets ugly.
