Type Robert Smith into Wikipedia and there's, like, 60 responses. If your last name is smith, name your kid something weird.

Don't worry, my friend. If this be the end, then so shall it be. 
He isn't that much name recognized league wise. His numbers may be on the radar, as far as his position, but sucky ass Tim Fleebow, who can't cut it is still more famous.

Well, Timmy's a special case. He's really a celebrity. Today, Foster's not one of the top 5 or even 10 RBs someone might name, but, man, just 2 years ago he was a clear top 3 with AP and Jamaal Charles. At least in fantasy circles, he's extremely popular. I'd say his name recognition is pretty darn high.

Kudos Arian, but too bad you're hurt all the time, you are a good running back though for sure. Yeah, I'm sure the Tim Fleebow's of the league (and many outside of the league) think he's always hurt because he's an atheist. They're too busy kissing god's ass every time they get a touchdown, that they forget who the one actually accomplishing that really is.
Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-
It just occurred to me that Foster makes his living in Reliant Stadium. This was the same venue a few years back for Rick Perry's (as Texas governor) big prayer gathering. I'm going to post a picture of the thousands of participants at the Jesus event.
Before I do that, I must ask... How important can your Jesus be with his promise of eternal bliss when this is the crowd he draws juxtaposed to the fact that on game day there's not an empty seat in the house? Perhaps this is the right time to remind you that they play on Sunday. ![[Image: 07prayer-span-blog480.jpg]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=graphics8.nytimes.com%2Fimages%2F2011%2F08%2F07%2Fus%2F07prayer-span%2F07prayer-span-blog480.jpg) Deep in the heart of Texas, Jesus just isn't that important.

But Fleebow had the same name recognition even amongst non fans of the sport. Even people who hate the sport know who Walter Payton is, much like I hate baseball but know who Babe Ruth was. I don't even like that RG is more famous than Arian. You talk stats among fans and popularity of a player within the fan base of the league. I am talking about, those who create social change in any business. |
