The only problem with Big Al is he's not media friendly. He's a great player, but he won't talk to the media and he doesn't do anything stupid to get on TV. Great for the team, but he doesn't become famous.

You got a point there. Though if he has a big season he'll probably be elevated to Reggie White status. As far as the media goes I think Chris Cooley is easily the face of this team. CP was for a while but the one thats really putting himself out there at this point is Chris. Hell at one point I think Jansen was the face of our team especially when he was in the studio for ESPN on draft day (guys going to be an awesome TV personallity).

Also it seems that Chill Will was the first one to put out a vote for Haynesworth so I guess that makes me senile.

If you're basing it on being media friendly then I'm choosing D. Hall assuming he has a good season this year and makes the Pro Bowl.

Speaking of D. Hall and the media. He'll be on Colin Cowherd's show this morning....shameless plug.

But I can't see him as the face of the franchise personally. No votes for Zorn?

i gotta disagree here, the other guys listed as "faces of franchises" dont do stupid things to get on tv, they dominate on the field a la brady, manning, urlacher etc.

Yeah, I think I meant to say they put themselves out in the media. AH doesn't put himself out there. He doesn't do commercials, he doesn't talk to the media or seem real friendly to the media. He could be a guy like Urlacher if he continues to play at this level, but even Urlacher did that dumb badminton thing and other commercials. He doesn't have a famous personality, like he wants attention. Tom Brady is popular because of his looks. Manning does a ton of commercials. There's nothing that unique about AH other than his play. Peyton does do some dumb stuff on TV ...

Peyton keeps me entertained on and off the field. I don't know if I would call that dumb. Clinton Portis's costumes were way worse IMO.

I agree the costumes were dumber, but I was trying to say AH doesn't act like those guys. I don't think AH would say some of the stuff that Peyton says.

I think that's a dumb thing to say. Funny, but dumb also.
