On the flip side, there is the obvious choice of Jarome. All the stories we here about him doing good in the community and for people, you can tell he was raised well and treats everyone nicely. We all have our off days though and I can see where sometimes he might not be as friendly as other times but overall seems like a nice guy.
I got to know Dion during his time in Calgary and have to say while he is a fairly intense guy, he was always pleasant to talk to and signed an autograph whenever someone asked. He may not be the most approachable guy and yes, he can be kind of a dink, but whenever he was around kids who just wanted a picture with him or just someone who wanted to shake his hand, he always seemed to make time for a quick chat. I think the impression some people have of him is that he is a ######.... While I dont disagree with that, I do have to say that sometimes people just dont want to be bothered and if you catch them when they just want to blend into a crowd, making a public spectacle of someone can be a poor decision on your part.
He spends the season in Nashville and the off season in Nashville North?
