Tony Gwynn = a true San Diego icon

[BigJefe]

Who cares about his weight... The man is a living legend, show some respect. Spent the better part of his life as a professional athlete, if he wants to have pizza and beer every night I think he's earned it.

I think spacegeist meant tubby's waist. You know, the one overflowing his belt.

He can make all the public appearances he wants. Instead of taking the stretch limo, he can vigorously walk to them. Pretty soon, he might be able to run to them again. Oh, and no stopping at the local greasy spoon en route. Perhaps a spot of herbal tea instead!

[BigJefe]

You know what, you are right... he should probably stop making public appearances and stay at home all day. He's a disgrace and people should really protect their children from such a horrible person.

The steroid users and Vick, the animal abuser, are admittedly despicable. Gwynn is far above them ethically, however, he is still a heart attack or diabetic waiting to happen. For himself, his family and his fans, he has to get off the gravy train. He's only 47, yet he walks like he's an old man. He probably couldn't even run 10 feet now without gasping for air. At his current rate, he will destroy his health. No amount of good will can make up for that.

[BigJefe]

SWhy don't you give your computer to someone who can actually spell. Waist??? I think you mean waste. You should know, considering you probably work in "waste management."

[BigJefe]

If I had kids I would rather them grow up to be like Tony Gwynn, than the likes of Michael Vick or these steroid using frauds setting records today. Tony dedicated himself to doing San Diego proud, he has, and continues to do so, regardless of his weight.
