Derek Sanderson made GQ's list of "coolest athletes of all time." Yes, THAT Derek Sanderson...of the Bruins.
I have no idea what GQ’s criteria is for choosing their “coolest athletes of all time” but Im going to guess that hair has something to do with it.
Seriously, they probably just found Derek Sanderson's hockey card and decided that because he looks kinda like Tom Brady with a mustache that he qualifies.
When's the last time you actually uttered the name Derek Sanderson anyway? Dont get me wrong, he looks friggin awesome in his hockey card.
And he is an all time Bruin great, so as a Bruins fan we love him. But the man struggled with addiction and ended up penniless. He wasnt exactly the kinda guy who you would want in your circle of friends.
Kinda makes you wonder about the criteria for this list and what makes someone cool. I mean the list includes someone with a gambling problem (Michael Jordan), soneone with a criminal record (Allen Iverson) and a pot head (Tim Lincecum).
