I replied to another thread about a good story involving Ron Polk with the following and it got me curious. I'll just copy and paste in that context.

Dan Patrick made a great comment on the Steve McNair death the yesterday. He asked the question of how people would remember Steve; as the football player or the person of the field. And he said we choose that. We buy into the people and the personality that we see on TV. The games, the polished interviews, the public conversations. Then they have their own lives. (In this case Polks was still very public and mainly asshattery). But, I choose to remember the good stuff. I'll always remember what he did recently but that will fade. My anger will fade.
Polk is a legend.
