SHAYNE GRAHAM’S FAVORITES
Favorite NFL team/player growing up: “Chicago Bears and Walter Payton. I remember watching a show and reading a book on him when I was really young about his work ethic and things he used to do in the offseason to get ready to play, and just the things he did as a player. I was really impressed by it. It’s meant a lot to me throughout my life. I always remember back to the things he talked about doing. I’ve always had a respect for him. The ‘85 Bears were one of the greatest teams ever to play. It’s kind of hard not to like ‘em.”
Favorite NFL stadium other than Paul Brown Stadium: “Bank of America Stadium (Carolina Panthers), Charlotte, N.C. It has a really nice grass playing surface. I’ve never missed on that field. I played a whole season there back in ‘02. It’s just a very nice-looking stadium. It’s not too overdone as far as cutting-edge architecture. But yet it’s not really old school. It just has a nice look to it.”
Favorite restaurant: “Jeff Ruby’s. I also like The Farmhouse in Christiansburg, Va. It’s an old farmhouse that’s been converted into a really nice steak house.”
Favorite meal: “A Kobe filet mignon, medium plus with a slight char, garlic mashed potatoes, green beans or asparagus, and a bottle of Silverado Cabernet Sauvignon. I usually don’t order dessert, but if I did one of Jeff Ruby’s restaurants has a great Mac Pie.”
Favorite actor & actress: “Will Ferrell and Brittany Daniel.”
Favorite book: “Mind Gym: An Athlete’s Guide to Inner Excellence. By Gary Mack.”
Favorite movie: tie, “The Goonies” (1985) and “Tombstone” (1993).
Favorite music & artist: “Country and Jason Aldean.”
Favorite late-night snack: “A can of Pringles potato chips (sour cream and onion) or a bag of peanut M&Ms.”
Favorite Hobby: “I love flying airplanes and I love Go-Kart racing.”
