Dhani Jones: Is The Cincinnati Bengals Linebacker The World's Most Interesting Man?

Gadling:

We have all seen the commercial. "I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis." He's called the most interesting man in the world. But, beyond the LCD panels in your television, and the din of late night TV, the man is just an actor in an especially resonant role, in a very successful advertising series, mythologized with strange deeds and characteristics. His blood smells of cologne, and he despises gyms. After all, running in place will never get you the same results as running from a lion.

It is all hilarious nonsense.

Nobody knows this guy, I am a football fan and only heard of him about 2 weeks ago from an ESPN show I aw on the internet with Warren Sapp rating the best line backers. I think his hair sticks out more than he or his name. He is not a good football player. http://grandturk.webs.com/

Yes he is. I've loved Dhani since he was on the Eagles. Loved his show on the Travel Channel.

There's obviously a very thin line between "The World's Most Interesting Man" and "The World's Most Boring Man."

Nice guy but a lousy football player.

He's a cutie!

And for those who don't know him - imagine an upbeat, clean-living Anthony Bourdain. He's not afraid to get dirty and get his butt kicked by the locals.

I did not know who he is, so if he was the most interested man, I would have heared of him.

He should replace Cenk...DJ is very composed. Exceptional communicator. Insightful. Telegenic. It wouldn't hurt his future to drop football and pursue--fulltime--a media career.

The way he's going I have to believe he'll have a long career after football, so why not enjoy it while can.

Hey Matt,

One head injury, and his future prospects could severely diminished. It seems to me, if you have other marketable skills, why subject your body to the damaging effects of football?

The real question is can Dhani speak French in Russian?

In all seriousness, his exploits sound awsome!!!

I do LOVE me some Dhani Jones!

He really is a cool guy, though (watched his show on the Travel Channel and follow on FB).

I don't know how he keeps up with the NFL, Travel/Entertainment work, Charity work, etc.

He does it with grace and i say good for him and we need more like him!
