Elvis Grbac: Not as sexy as initially indicated

June 24th, 2009 by Jeff Pearlman



One of my favorite all-time stories is about Elvis Grbac (left), Rich Gannon (right) and People Magazine’s Sexiest Men issue from 1998. It is both outlandish and 100-percent true.

Back in the day I knew many People staffers, and they were all cool, fun, intelligent—and woefully ignorant about sports. Every year, in planning the Sexiest Men issue, People’s editors would ask a bunch of us at Sports Illustrated for suggestions and insight. In 1998, for a reason I’ll never understand, they decided not to seek out help.

The magazine chose Rich Gannon as its Sexiest Athlete. At the time, Gannon was a member of the Kansas City Chiefs. Still a couple of seasons removed from his golden tenure with the Raiders, Gannon was 33, handsome and likable. In other words, a solid choice. Yet People, being People, simply informed the photographer assigned to the piece that the Sexiest Athlete was the Chiefs’ quarterback. Hence, he took pictures of the Chiefs’ quarterback. Well, one of the Chiefs’ quarterbacks: Elvis Grbac.
Yup.

The pictures made their way back to the New York offices, and editors were dumbfounded. This was their Sexiest Athlete? Yet upon learning the truth, no one with the magazine had the heart (guts?) to tell Grbac that an unfathomable mistake had been made. As a result, Elvis Grbac reigns as People’s 1998 Sexiest Athlete.

The article’s final line says it all: “His personality makes him sexy.”

Amen.

Didn’t he have a 5000 yard season around 2000? Deserves a little credit for that.

I used to bench Grbac for Gannon every time I played Madden and I'm pretty sure even Madden knew Gannon was better.

Yes he got credit when the Super Bowl Champion Baltimore Ravens dumped Their QB Trent Dilfer for Elvis Grbac giving him a $11 MILLION signing bonus! EG lasted only one season when the RAVENS realized that Trent Dilfer was actually better than EG. They asked EG to take a salary cut but he refused so they released him and then he retired. The Ravens screwed up just like the CHIEFS thinking EG was the answer. Both were WRONG, including the 49er's. Rich Gannon was so much better and everyone knew it.

if it weren't for the golden age of the Chiefs, which is right now, I'd probably still be saying "Marty shoulda kept that mother****ing Grbac on the bench!" and be a little bitter. They probably would have won the Superbowl if they kept Gannon in, he had the offense rolling pretty good. At least a lot better than what Grbac was doing, but nooooo...I remember watching Marty say something like "I'm not going to let a guy lose his job because he got injured" because Gannon's play made it a legit controversy. But the real reason Grbac was put back in was because he was the guy that was getting paid and if the GM is paying him, he needs to be playing. Which is loser mentality.
