A real player is somebody who never gives up, who keeps thinking all the way through, who's scared, damned right, but plays through being scared." - Ralph Wiley, 9/12/01

I thought there'd be more people on the site who knew who he was...lots of sports fans on here, in their travels on espn.com may have run across his stuff.
I didn't always agree with what he said, but as was said, he was never on the fence about topics, and I respect that.
