The only thing I can't quite read about Gannon is if he has that deep, raw, insatiable bloodlust of McBeast.
Killer instinct, will to win, hates to lose, etc. are intangible traits that dominant champions are imbued with by the fans/commentators.
All the best competitors have some kind of fire in their belly, but it can manifest itself in different ways. Some like Jordan/Kobe/Brady/McBeth exhibit that killer instinct.
Others, like Joe Montana, seem to get it done with a somewhat "looser," more relaxed attitude.
The other thought is what drives him more--financial gain (nothing to condemn for sure), or being the best and winning the most?
Buhr's speech after winning showed him to have a good head on his shoulders.
There seem to be more examples of the former than the latter, but surely somebody knows of other champions who did their best while exhibiting a more laid back personna.
That is what made KC's dominance so impressive, is he did it all while working a regular full time job as well. We cannot even fathom someone doing that today.
Excellent examples! Thanks for chiming in.Roger Federer, David Robinson, and Arnold Palmer are a few that immediately spring to mind. Andre Agassi is someone who had a resurgence once he got perspective. Kareem Abdul Jabbar and Tim Duncan are examples of more clinical than killer approaches to dominance. Plenty of examples, I think.

Duncan had more of a "killer instinct" than people give him credit for. A lot of the examples provided are famous for how outwardly fiery they were, but players have repeatedly brought up Duncan as the guy they hated getting trash talked by the most during games. Kevin Garnett famously noted the way that Duncan would slice you up all night long verbally with short phrases or quick exchanges that wouldn't get picked up on broadcasts: "Nice try!" "Almost!" etc. as he diced you up as a defender or scorer.Excellent examples! Thanks for chiming in.
For some reason, I was drawing a blank.
*kicks himself for not thinking about Duncan, Robinson or Jabbar*
:doh:
The rocks seemed to produce less anomalies than I anticipated. One reason, i believe, was that we set the line itself several feet off the rocks a few feet. We may increase that a bit more next year.
