Leave Mr Williams alone or we can meet in the street

Peyton Manning is funny and that is one of the top attributes in my book. Cool, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

How about Elvis Presley? This guy rose the bar of coolness. People still try to be like this guy.

Jack Nicholson, a lady’s man if you’ve ever seen one. Another one of those non-attractive people you often wonder how in the heck did he get that good lookin lady?

J-F-Freakin-K! Imagine this guy today! Bill Clinton couldn’t carry carry this guys jock strap!

Joe Dimmagio wasn’t bad himself. He had the ultimate lady. Too bad he had to spend the next 37 years of his life without her.

There are a couple of young guys out there with a lot of upside that could move into the Paul Newman category someday, but they have to play their cards right. Derek Jeter has the personality, looks and cockiness that could move up if he someday moves into acting. Tom Brady is another. I don’t really care for the guy, because I’m a huge Peyton Manning fan, but women love him and many, many football fans love him and he shows great promise in acting. I had doubts, but he was a huge hit on Saturday Night Live.

I guess you’ve made your point! We are running out of coolness!

I do think Sinatra, Newman, Connery types seem to last forever. However, I wonder if that ran the other way. Did people that were 50 when Sinatra was 20 think he was cool? Good luck figuring that out now.

The new Bond dude is Daniel Craig and he is also pretty impressive…nice eyes among other things.

(“flat” just doesn’t have the same ring in this context).
