    There was a bit of controversy when he pardoned Nixon. Many people felt that Nixon made a deal with him on that but that's purely heresay and speculation. But you're right, George. The country would be a whole lot better off if there were more Gerald Fords in public service.

    Probably one of the most misunderstood US Presidents of all time.

    RIP

    It is ironic that Ford, because of a few well publicized stumbles, had a reputation while president of being an athletic klutz. I'd guess that such contemporary presidents as Kennedy and Reagan were regarded as better athletes. Actually, Ford was probably the best athlete to serve as president since Teddy Roosevelt. He was a three year letter winner at the University of Michigan, where he played on consecutive undefeated football teams in 1932-33, he was the Wolverines MVP in 1934, he played in a college all star game, and he turned down offers from the Lions and Packers to play in the NFL.
