I think it is. But it all depends on what you consider a "hero" Who can you point to currently in the media, that lives up to the actual definition of hero? If you need help here's some definitions from http://www.rhymezone.com:
noun: the principal character in a play or movie or novel or poem
noun: (classical mythology) a being of great strength and courage celebrated for bold exploits; often the offspring of a mortal and a god
noun: a man distinguished by exceptional courage and nobility and strength

Way too much so. I think it is a serious perversion of the word to refer to athletes as heros. Some of them are great people, but they PLAY a game as their line of work, how are they heros?

Yeah, probably.
B R gives a very good answer. Me personally, I admire Brett Favre (QB for the Green Bay Packers) not cuz he's an excellent QB (he is) but because of his response to a very hard year- his dad died, then his brother-in-law was killed in an ATV accident on his property, and his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer.

It all depends on the context. I do not think in reference to any honorable soldier, police officer, or fireman that it has not been used too much. They are heros.

Well, i was going to say yes, but i think no.
We all are heroes to someone.
I know one of my heroes is my mom because she doesn't think about herself ever.

Far too casually

Most definitely. I think we've forgotten what "True" heroism is.
