Players we dislike

I'm looking for professional athletes that we really don't like, from any sport. Players that are just so vile on and off the field that it would be near impossible to cheer for them.

Definately agree with that one.

I agree: T.O. tops the list. Also included to a lesser extent:


Todd Bertuzzi, Kobe Bryant, and to a far lesser extent Eli Manning--All his draft day complaining has made it really hard for me to cheer for him.

Can't really understand Sakic or Igninla. Both are pretty stand up guys and very good hockey players.

She has to win a LPGA tourney before she can play on the big boy tour.. She can't even make the first round cut anymore. Before it would be all this attention that she is in the men's even now nobody cares. Michelle, go back to the LPGA!!!

I totally agree. Also, the guy that was suppose to play in this tourny whos spot she took, should get to go play on the women's tour.

i dislike jeter, brady, and cc sabathia

Hmm, interesting. I would say that while Jeter is not the best defensive shortstop or hitter, his statistics tend to show that he is pretty good in the post season, which is when it matters most. So I guess that would be somewhat clutch. I know people don't like him cause he plays for the yankees.

As for Brady, I just think that he is a guy that can get things done, no matter what people throw at him.

But of course, these are people's personal opinions, so I'm not going to tell anybody that they are wrong. Like or dislike whoever you want.

Unfortunately for you, Ghetto Steve stepped over the line; your school district's IP has now been banned.

Make sure you thank him when you see him.

Dislike Archie?

Dislike Jim Archibald? Not like him,....you must have played AGAINST him or something?

He had 540 career penalty minutes (plus 144 pts in 154 games),.....what's not to LIKE about that? Great entertainment for those in the stands,.....not all 2:00 minute minors either.

Now, I believe he is a Border Patrol,.....can't believe there is a better man for the job.

p.s. Just did the math,......3.5 penalty minutes per game average,....he was great fun to watch.
