Likeable And Fury

[Blind Gossip] This former professional athlete is one of the most likable in sports.

He always seems to be having a ball. Sponsors love him. Instead of disdain, he tends to serve up a smile. He’s always happy to meet fans.

You know who’s not so happy with him?

His wife!

He had a fling with some random fan back in [year]. Pretty girl. College student at [redacted]. She got pregnant. He was very lucky she took the payoff and terminated the pregnancy. [His wife] was furious but she never showed it in public. However, she did make him sleep in another room for an entire year!

    Um, David Beckham?

    Optional: Clint Bowyer. He’s handsome, got the prettiest eyes, and he is too funny!

    I think this is Steph Curry and his wife. She has a cooking show, and both the serve up and the picture point to a food connection.

    Ex tennis pro so I’m plumping for Andre agassi – I’m sure he’s still doing ads and I imagine if you got on the wrong side of steffi you would feel the wrath!

    No idea on the athlete.
    I find Tom Brady attractive only because we get to have really great Super Bowl parties-ALL THE TIME with our” wicked awesome” New England Patriots in it!!!!

    Jimmy Connors is my guess, he went to University of California. The clues are Serve up a smile, having a ball, The curlers in cartoon look like tennis balls, so a tennis player and he was one of the only retired ones that seem to have went to school.

    Peyton Manning.
    And JJ Watt …. he seems like a genuine guy with a great heart. Gorgeous inside and out.

    If the athlete is David Beckham, I can assure you that he isn’t as well liked in the UK as he is in the US because he’s a tax dodger and desperate for a knighthood.

    Peyton Manning

    [Optional] How do you pick just one? Aaron Rodgers, Gus Kenworthy, Tom Daley…

    • VegasMike says

      I guess Kenworthy and Daley aren’t “technically” pro athletes, are they? They both make a better living playing games than I make in my 9-to-5…

    Roger Federer?
    “Ball” and “serve” make it sound like this is about a tennis player.

    Optional: I have a monster crush on NHL defenseman Brandon Montour. He has the best smile.

    • grozer says

      Totally agree. “Always serves up a smile”… this is a tennis player, and Federer has the sterling good-guy image. Mirka has always been by his side in public. Any drama they’ve had has been locked down tight.

    • lajoe4 says

      Both Federer and Djokovic aren’t former athletes..still very much on top on the tennis food chain both number 3 and 1 in the world. So I dont think its them.

    David Beckham
    *but the hint.. serves up a smile makes me think this could be about an ex tennis pro

    Kansas City Chiefs tightend Travis Kelcey is a very handsome guy and seems to have a laid back, carefree attitude and friendly disposition. Plus his celebration dances are on point… Travis knows how to work it…

      David Beckham was very popular but I don’t know if ‘likeable’ would be a common description of him. Plus he’s already had a well publicized affair with their nanny which would make this far less shocking. I do think the ‘serve’ clue makes it sound like a tennis player (or former player as you said which a lot of people seem to have missed with their Federer and Djokovic guesses)
