“That was big for me, just seeing the players and talking with them and seeing them outside of football,” said Scarlett. “People say Stanford athletes are not really social but I figured that wasn’t true so it was cool seeing them be funny guys and outside of that. They’re definitely guys I can be around.”

I had no idea that this was the rumor going around.  "Party in the Backfield" sounds pretty social to me.  Maybe he saw Martyup's Angry Nerds logo and got the wrong idea?

That's the same kind of BS stereotype Skip Bayless tried to use to justify RGIII over Luck for the #1 pick. He said that Luck was too nerdy to command leadership in the huddle and the team wouldn't rally around him. IIRC, he even did a Steve Erkel-ish voice and hand gesture to emphasize his point. Low and behold, 3 years later we hear stories of the team enjoying Settlers of Cattan gaming sessions, bonding with Werner by speaking German with him, and many teammates making good natured jokeds about his cell phone and low key personality. People think there's a one size fits all personality in sports.
