    Or perhaps this is just evidence that there really aren't many closeted homosexuals in professional sports.

    "malleable and super rich"


    I believe you forgot one other important trait...


    See Travolta, J.
    Cruise, T.
    Smith, W.

    @Hockeymom: That's the point. When Travolta joined up, his first films were the Look Who's Talking series. (Also featuring Kirstie Alley. & she a Scientologist too. Is LWT propaganda, just like Battlefield Earth*?) We could so get Shaq in, just on the strength of Ka-Zaam... & with Blue Chips, he actually exceeds Travolta's mid-80s output, for quality.


    *So, if mostly/entirely Scientologists featured in that film, are Barry Pepper & Forrest Whitaker Scientologists? I don't really give a shit about the latter -- though he was in the ignored future classic The 3 Burials of Melquiades Estrada, if I'm not mistaken -- but if Idi Amin is a friggin' Scientologist... (Of course, it would be of a piece with the actual Idi Amin's choice to seek asylum in Wahhabism.)

    @Come a little Miroslav Klose You're My Kind of Man: Apologies if I'm putting words in Hockey Mom's mouth, but I don't think that's quite what she's getting at:

    @MBM: You are correct.
    I was a touch too subtle, I'm afraid.

    Where's the story about police chief Martin Brody, who tried to save the vacationers of Amity Island from practicing DIE-anetics?

    I think the word Science scares athletes off. They're use to a non-science major.
