Generally athletes are not considered "dudelike" with all of the hardwork and bullshit. However there is a list of athletes that I have compiled that would make nice additions to the list a great dudes.
1. Anyone who makes a living bowling.
2. John Riggins, running back for the Redskins. Generally known by the squares as an eccentric, he quit football in his prime only to return one year later. When asked why by his coach he replied "I am bored and I am broke". He was also know to weird out the press in interviews and rock a mohawk.
3. Rickey Williams, running back Miami Dolphins. He quit football for two years to visit Asia and smoke pot...need I say more.
4. John Daley, Golfer. I know golf is the worst sport in the world but this guy makes it awesome. He smokes while golfing, wears technicolor pants. His "fuck it" attitude has made him a hero to every blue collar duffer that has ever vomited due to overcomsumption at a gold scramble.
These are just some nominations. I am sure there are more.
Dude, that is a righteous list to be sure; I concur. Fucking eh. But I do take exception to one point. Being a dude-like athlete does not have to mean that they make a living at it. Take the dude for instance; he was an athlete in his own right, but didn't make a living rolling the lanes and certainly not any big bucks rolling on a Saturday night with his buddies battling it out with the Jesus, even though that creep can roll, man.
All of this is of course is IMHO.
Fuck it, I'm going bowling.
I concur man. I also have to mention beer league softball. All you need is a bat glove and a cooler.

Way dude-like, sounds like a baseball dude's version of rolling, mang!
"We're throwing rocks this afternoon from the mound, you guys are in the shit!"
Great list. I heard the rumor that Packers QB Aaron Rogers may be a dude fan, but like not knowing what day it is, I'm not sure.
Also that pitcher for the SF Giants, what's his name. He admits to enjoying "limbering"
