Most hated athletes

The next two posts will be lists of our most hated athletes of all-time. Let us know your lists and what you think.


1) Jeffrey Maier- for those of you don't know this name he was the little douche that stole the Orioles franchise over the head of Tony Tarasco in the 1996 ALCS. To recap the play it was the bottom of the 8th inning with the O's ahead 4-3 and Derek Jeter at bat. Jeter connected on a ball to right field where Tarasco was going up for the ball just short of the wall where this little shit reached over and took it. The Yankees went on to win the game and series and then beat Atlanta in the World Series and the O's have not had a winning season since.

1a) Rich Garcia- the piece of shit umpire that ruled the homerun, despite clear evidence it was not. He is the reason there is replay in baseball now. I would love to kick both him and Maier in the shins repeatedly.

2) Reggie Miller-the biggest flop artist in the NBA history. Pushed Greg Anthony on May 7, 1995 in his famous 8 points in 8.9 seconds. He then turned to Spike Lee and gave the choke sign. Well Reggie, that's what I want to do to you. Choke you. Easily the most hated guy.

3) Ray Lewis-he is probably doing some sort of dance as I write this, but he is by far the most over-hyped football player of all-time. Don't get me wrong he's not a bad player, but he is not even in the same level as Lawrence Taylor for best linebacker of all-time. This guy, much like Kevin Garnett, gets too much credit for 'intensity.' I'm sorry but if I run my mouth and do a dance will I be in the race for best of all-time? He's not even the best linebacker on his team anymore, that goes to Bart Scott. Media talks him up too much, he gets pancaked blocked and the media talks about how he took up a lineman. Plus on top of all that, he killed a guy. Literally. He stabbed them. Should be in jail, and if anyone references him as the best linebacker of all-time I will personally punch you and do his dance over you in honor of being over-hyped.

4) Michael Jordan- I respect this guy, and he is obviously the best basketball player of all-time, but he broke my heart way too many times. As a Knicks fan, I had to live through him putting his nut sack all over Patrick Ewing's face. The Knicks never beat Jordan-led Bulls squad in the playoffs as he defeated the Knicks three different times. It was incredibly hard to watch him dismantle the Knicks season after season to go on to be the best player ever, while the Knicks, who will probably never be as good again as they were in the mid-1990's, suffered heartbreak after heartbreak. Mr. Jordan, I would like to put my nut sack in your face as I dunk on you just for some redemption.

5) Joakim Noah- this might be too easy. Name someone on this Earth that isn't Yannick or his incredibly hot mom that doesn't want to punch this guy in the face over and over again. From his days at Florida where he was the cocky asshole with his little shimmy after every basket, to leading the stands with the Gator Chomp. Again, had to suffer with him during my days here at UK, watching him beat up on the Cats and win two National Championships. Then on Draft Day had to watch him in that outfit. Well Joakim, I hope your mom ends up at my house sometime soon and your dad hits tennis balls at your face repeatedly.

Honorable mention: Donovan McNabb, Brian Dawkins, Derek Jeter, Roger Clemens, Tony Romo, Troy Aikman, Terrell Owens, Juan Dixon, Lonny Baxter, Grievas Vasquez, Brett Favre and Hines Ward.

Here is my list, Dan's will be posted above mine. Let us know if you agree with our selections, disagree and who you hate.

See I'm different than Bobby in that I don't end up hating a guy because he was an effective opponent against my teams. Bill Cowher is my all time favorite head coach, for example. I kind of hate John Elway for refusing to play for the Colts, but I don't hold any grudge towards him for the Drive. He was just doing his job. I'll delve into players that I hate and why in response to Dan's article.

I'm glad I'm personally responsible for three of your honorable mentions.

Post-script: O's had a winning season in 1997 and won the division and lost to Howarth's gay team in the ALCS. Either way, Garcia & Maier are responsible for the O's demise.

How do you put michael jordan on there bob and not have dennis rodman you know the biggest asshole to play any sport. And how about bill lambeer and kevin mchale. I think you have to put eli manning on the list just bc as much as he tries to be peyton he's always just gonna be peytons little brother, o yeah and he likes balls in his face. As much as it pains me to say TO has to be up there to i mean the guy has been to 3 teams and all 3 he has dismantled (the cowboys not quite yet but it sure sounds like he might be dismantling them)

I hate Michael Jordan because of the heartbreak he caused me. Rodman, was just an idiot, nothing to make me hate him, he was just an idiot. And why would I hate lambier and McHale? What'd they do? Nothing to make me hate them.

I saw your facebook status about this little blog. I thought I would check it out. I see that No. 5 on your list of most hated athletes is Joakim Noah. I will say it once, and I will say it again, if he played for Kentucky, football for the Giants, baseball for the Orioles, or for any other team you like, not only would you love him, but he would be your favorite play of all time. There is no doubt in my mind that if he went to Kentucky he would be one of the most popular player in the history of UK basketball.

See, I beg to differ. There are people I don't like on any of my favorite teams. I just don't like Noah. I was a big fan of Green though and respected Horford.

David Beckham. He is a Bitch. He came to the United States to try to "Save American Soccer" and make it something worth watching. No offense but God couldn't save American soccer. Now he is crying like a girl about going to play for Ac Milan. Let him go. No one will miss him, besides the people who liked the chick flick Bend it like Beckham. He is a washed out soccer player who has a good curve on his direct kicks. Im glad he is out of here because he is a bitch. The man sat out of the world cup. YES the WORLD CUP because he was too injured. Bullshit, who sits out of a game that big. Goodbye David Beckham.. you are a washed out piece of shit. The only thing good about you is your wife is hot!
