being a good NFL player and being a jerk are not mutually exclusive.
he wouldn't let anyone on the entire team promote their charities unless HIS charity got equal air time (so if 5 player wanted 2 minutes each to talk about their different charities, he'd need 10 minutes for himself). At comcast sportsnet when he was there to promote one of his charaties, someone asked him for an autograph for his kid (who was standing there at the time) and he asked "what's in it for me?" when told the joy of making a child happy, he responded with "that's not good enough" and he didn't sign.
there's about 400 more examples, but those are a couple off the top of my head. It's well documented though.
