"You know what I've found?" says Malone. "The less talking you do, the more you learn. I love athletes who live their lives by example. My alltime favorite is Nolan Ryan. He's done his job with class, dignity and pride. The night he threw his seventh no-hitter, some of his teammates wanted his autograph. That's the kind of respect any athlete would love to have. I'm concerned with what people think of me as a person. Why, when you become a professional athlete, should you forget that other people have feelings?"
Guess who said that in the April 27th, 1992 Sports Illustrated?
What a scumbag.
