I think it's just gotten more cyclical like someone said about the Olympians. On your average day to day level I think this most beloved living legend is either going to come from a sports booth where you hear their voice every weekend or from your television set when you see their face during the big games.
As beloved as someone like Roger Staubach might be in Texas, I know nothing about who he is as a person.
