Athletes you hate and why

[Guest El Hijo Del Lunatic]

I HATE DEION SANDERS.  This isn't a nice thing to say, but I don't understand how this guy isn't using a wheelchair.  Football is a physical sport, and he is-was-and always will be the biggest fucking girl the NFL has ever had on any and all rosters.  And the sad part is nobody can seem to get their mouth's off the guy's dick because he was "the greatest cover corner ever".  And he very well may have been a great cover corner.  But Jesus Christ, he's not the best ever.  He looked like a bullfighter on sweep plays sometimes.  I've never, EVER seen the man make any kind of tackle.  Ever.  

 

It's one thing to be a very flamboyant polayer, and to have a big mouth, but if I were playing in a CONTACT sport and I was listening to a guy afraid of CONTACT talk shit, I'd do everything in my power to shut him the fuck up.  My idea would be to make him get his jaw wired shut.  I mean, turf toe kept him out of games for 3-4 years.  Something like that would make him retire.  I haven't even watched Everybody Loves Raymond since CBS hired Deion.  I've been watching (shudder) WRESTLING instead.

 

Honorable mentions go to spoiled man-children Terrell Owens and Randy Moss, though I find Owens funnier than anything else.  Yeah, yeah, Owens doesn't like Mooch, and yeah, yeah, he disappears at important times.  But there was nothing funnier and more GLORIOUS than T.O. with his arms extended in the middle of the star in Big D.  As for Moss, it's the Deion argument.  If someone on my team said that they played when they felt like it, I'd be begging for him to run a reverse so that my offensive linemen could "take a play off".  

 

While I'm at it, fuck Jason Sehorn too.  Who has he been able to cover lately?  

 

LUNATIC

BUT FUCK DEION SANDERS MOST OF ALL.

[Guest AlwaysPissedOff]

'Bout friggin time, Lunatic. I was wondering when you were gonna roast Deion's ass.

 

I might as well chip in in while I'm at it...

 

 

John Stockton: All the veteran fellaters say he's one of the best guards of all time, I say he's a cheating sack of horseshit. One of the 50 Greatest players of all-time, my ASS!

 

Darryl Strawberry: Everybody else has said it better than I could.

 

Roger Clemens: Great player, but what an arrogant fucking prick.

 

Shaq: Yeah, he IS a fucking baby at times, but at least he seems to be toning down all the bitching.

 

Kobe Bryant: I have to agree with alfdogg, if Reggie had started that, he'd have been crucified.

 

Patbrick Ewing: It stems from the lockout and his pathetic speech about "taking food out of our kids' mouths".

 

Derrick Coleman: This self-serving jackass seemingly ALWAYS has a job even though he can't stay away from afriggin buffet line or go one single season(I might be wrong on this) without getting a bad injury just because he couldn't be bothered to condition himself.

 

Steve McNair: An overrated QB who ALWAYS seems to have my beloved Jags' number...

[Guest Vyce]

I hate most professional athletes.  I think it stems mostly from my rage and indignation that they get paid millions of dollars to play children's games, and yet somehow they are deified.  Which gives them huge egos to go along with the money and fame, thus creating a breed of man utterly out of touch with reality and impossibly self-centered.  The whole lot of them disgusts me.

 

I can't name them all, see, but I'll pick two right now:

 

Tiger Woods:  Can't stand him.  Why?  Cause he's essentially touted as the 2nd coming of Christ.  The man hits a fucking little white ball across a field of grass.  True, he does it pretty much better than anyone else, but for this he should get my respect and admiration?  Fuck that.

 

Derek Jeter:  The reason being:  I HATE THE YANKEES.  I hate most NYC sports teams (outside of the Mets & Islanders, of whom I feel apathy), but the Yankees are number one on my list.  And Jeter here is the poster-boy.  I hope his career is cut short by an agonizing injury that leaves him fairly crippled for the rest of his life.

[Guest]

Isaiah Thomas-he was a dirty little prick when he played, and know he's a horseshit head coach. Karl Malone elbowing him was one of my favorite moments.

What's wrong with him as a coach? Anyways.....I saw a special on ESPN or something about Isaiah a few weeks ago. And they spun the whole hour or whatever as he wasn't a dirty player and him coming back in the game after that elbow showed what a competitor he was. What dirty stuff did he do? His hayday was when I was pretty young.

 

Gary Sheiffield-dropping the racist bomb like it was going out of style an ESPN the magazine interview.He's been a pain in the ass and a cancer his entire career.

Damn I didn't hear about this. What was he saying? And was the guy doing the story the same as the one who did the Rocker one and pissed off Wells with the one he did on him?

 

Alot of the old time players are bitter old men. At the HOF ceremonies last summer they came off has standoffish even Yogi Berra walked right inside without even waving to the crowd.

Why would they have anything against Yogi Berra? And how old time do you mean? Yogi's era?  

 

Patbrick Ewing: It stems from the lockout and his pathetic speech about "taking food out of our kids' mouths".

That idiot said that? I don't think he even has kids. But I guess since he is to too stupid to when to retire that's the kind of stupid thing he would say.

 

Honorable mentions go to spoiled man-children Terrell Owens and Randy Moss, though I find Owens funnier than anything else.  Yeah, yeah, Owens doesn't like Mooch, and yeah, yeah, he disappears at important times.  But there was nothing funnier and more GLORIOUS than T.O. with his arms extended in the middle of the star in Big D.  As for Moss, it's the Deion argument.  If someone on my team said that they played when they felt like it, I'd be begging for him to run a reverse so that my offensive linemen could "take a play off".  

Have they actually said they take plays off?

Don't you think that is a little extreme?

 

John Stockton: All the veteran fellaters say he's one of the best guards of all time, I say he's a cheating sack of horseshit. One of the 50 Greatest players of all-time, my ASS!

What does Stockton do? Is Malone the same way? I never see Jazz games.

 

Plus, his bias for the 49ers (they gave him a ring when they won SB 29 vs. the Chargers) and the SF Giants is nauseating.

Would they really make another ing jsut for a sportscaster?

 

- The British F1 guys.  You think your local sports guys are homers, listen to these guys heap praise on fellow Brit David Coulthard when he's GETTING LAPPED!

What is F1?

[Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly]

It's one thing to be a very flamboyant polayer, and to have a big mouth, but if I were playing in a CONTACT sport and I was listening to a guy afraid of CONTACT talk shit, I'd do everything in my power to shut him the fuck up.

 

Nobody ever did because nobody ever could. I would talk shit if I were Deion too. It's his shit talking and grandstanding that made him the money, not his cover skills.

 

I don't like John Stockton at all. He flops and is not nearly as good as everyone would like to believe.

 

John Stockton: All the veteran fellaters say he's one of the best guards of all time, I say he's a cheating sack of horseshit. One of the 50 Greatest players of all-time, my ASS!

 

The guy just happens to have more steals and assists than anyone to ever play the game.

 

Quote  

Latrell Sprewell, he's a thug plain and simple.

 

 

I'll say this much, I was fired from my job on Friday and Maryland law allowed them to fire me with no reasonable explanation. When something like that happens to you, you would be amazed how much sympathy you can muster fro Sprewell. I wish I would have choked a few people on the way out.

 

Did they fire you for not putting enough mustard on the pass like Sprewell?

 

Actually I was just screwed. The guy who fired me wanted to fire me during my first week on the job, but someone stood up for me. When he actually fired me, he initially cited my attendance as the reason why I was fired. I called in sick one day and was in a car accident and missed a few days because of that. When I confronted him with that information, he started saying that I was fired because of my performance. At the time I was being trained for a promotion, and everyone else was commending me for the job I was doing. I was screwed because Maryland law says you can fire someone for whatever reason you want and you don't have to give an explanation. I doubt his dumbass new that though because he was stammering and coming up with bullshit to get me off of his case. It was almost an Austin/McMahon segment in there that day. After they threatened to call the police on me, I just said, "fuck it I'll talk to some lawyers." I'm not from Maryland so I'm not all that familiar with laws pertainig to employment. In hindsight, I wish I would have gone out Stone Cold style instead of Sprewell style.

[Guest El Hijo Del Lunatic]

Question #1:

Have they actually said they (Randy Moss and Terrell Owens) take plays off?

Moss has publicly gone on record at least once saying that he doesn't go 100% on some plays (I think he's been on record in two interviews, but I could be wrong).  Owens hasn't, and I didn't mean to imply that he did, but he bitches when the Niners don't go to him down the stretch, but doesn't produce when they do go to him (see:  his juggled INT in the Bears game last year).  

 

Question #2:

Why would they (the Yankees crowd) have anything against Yogi Berra? And how old time do you mean? Yogi's era?  

I don't think that the Yankees crowd has anything against him per se, but the Yankees ORGANIZATION had big problems with him for a long time.  I think it stemmed from a managerial dispute or something stupid.  He wasn't allowed to participate in any old-timer type things (spring training, the old-timer's game) until either last year or two years ago.

 

Question #3:

What does Stockton do? Is Malone the same way? I never see Jazz games.

Ah, the Utah Jazz.  My most hated of sports franchises not based in Philadelphia.  In my opinion, they are one of the dirtiest teams in the league, which I can deal with; but the problem is that they're WHINY to boot.  Karl Malone is probably the worst of the bunch; he's constantly asking for touch fouls, even though he plays VERY physical defense.  Jeff Hornacek was the major flopper, but the rest of the guards have picked up his ways.  Stockton in particular has gotten worse over the past few years with his flopping.  You'll constantly see the Jazz players throwing mini-tantrums on the court.  It's a part of basketball; with such subjective officiating, it's worth it to state your case as loudly as possible.  However, it doesn't endear you to too many non-Mormons.

 

Question #4:

What's wrong with him (Isiah Thomas) as a coach?

Well, this year, he's got a shitload of talent in Indiana and is struggling to make the playoffs.  Part of that could be based on the big Jalen Rose trade, but that isn't an excuse.  

 

Witty retort:

Nobody ever did (shut Deion up) because nobody ever could. I would talk shit if I were Deion too. It's his shit talking and grandstanding that made him the money, not his cover skills.

I tend to agree with that, of course that wasn't my point.  I think Deion's mystique is his talking with the media; I think the media got behind him because he talked a lot.  My point, of course, was that for someone in a game that dished out a lot of physical punishment, and he didn't seem to handle that well.  He was a very flawed player in that sense.  His own hype probably built him up just as much as everyone else's - but I still find that undeserved, and I still think that if I were an offensive guard pulling on a sweep, I'd look to exploit Deion's physical weakness.  

 

Now, let me throw emotion in there.  I FUCKING HATE THE GUY.  What a first-class grade-A jerk.  He was NEVER, EVER afraid to tell everyone within earshot that he was the greatest cornerback in the league, while guys like Rod Woodson and Eric Allen and Aeneas Williams went out and did their job better than he did, they way they were SUPPOSED to - all the while keeping their mouths shut.  And now, I can think of five guys off the top of my head that will probably be better than Deion Sanders in a few years (Charles Woodson, Shawn Springs, Champ Bailey, Ty Law, and Sam Madison), if they're not there now.  But no one will ever notice, because people still remember how much Deion told everyone he was the best, and now it's apparently brainwashed into the fabric of America.  He COULDN'T FUCKING TACKLE.

Phew.

You and I both know that Deion was overrated. He was a cornerback with exceptional speed (I'm not talking 40 yard dash either) who could close in on passes well and take them to the endzone. His talk is what made him get the endorsements and all that other stuff. Look at his baseball career. He could steal the hell out of bases sometimes, but his talking was for the most part restricted to football. Notice that football was his big meal ticket.

[Guest JHawk]

Might as well get my takes in here.

 

Shaq and Kobe:  It's all been said.

 

Kenny Lofton:  He made the comment recently that Cleveland didn't pay him to steal bases.  So what was that $8 million for, Kenny?  Batting .265?  Trying to hit a home run when you haven't had a hit in a week?

[Guest Bruin]

Kenny Lofton:  He made the comment recently that Cleveland didn't pay him to steal bases.  So what was that $8 million for, Kenny?  Batting .265?  Trying to hit a home run when you haven't had a hit in a week?

 

I honestly think that Lofton was/is bitter that Milton Bradley was hyped by everyone as a "younger and faster Kenny Lofton". I have to agree with you on the home run part. Man that annoyed the hell out of me how he'd constantly try to swing for the fence when he proved earlier in the season he's a small ball hitter.

[Guest Zero_Cool]

here's my hate list:

 

Allen Iverson

Stephan Marburry (sp?)

Kenyon Martin

Karl Malone

Deion Sanders

Randy Moss

Emmitt Smith (only because he's going to break Payton's record )

Sergei Federov (he's with Kournikova, enough said)

Pavel Bure

Ylla Kovalchuk

Jeremy Roenick

 

 

meh...I could go on forever

[Guest bob_barron]

Jim Leyritz- I'm a Braves fan so self explanatory.

 

Darryl- I hope he ODs just to put him and everyone around him out of their misery.

 

Anyone who has caused any of my teams to lose

[Guest Smues]

Jim Leyritz- I'm a Braves fan so self explanatory.

I'm a Braves fan too but with bad memory. Could you explain?

[Guest ant_7000]

Daryl Strawberry: Let me or non-famous person get caught with crack for any situations we be lock up and no cushy rehab joint 2 go to, man i swear him Robert Downey JR are some kind blood brothers. (Like they say u get more chances than strawberry).

 

I also hate the misconception about NBA players are thugs(well some are thou) But,they dont say that about hockey and fights are so lame too they just hold each other for balance and punch with arm that look so gay.

[Guest alkeiper]

The Braves had a 6-0 lead on the Yanks in game 4 of the '96 WS and the Yankees rallied to tie and win the game, capped by Leyritz' 3 run home run.

What you talking bout Willis? Do you hate Leyritz?

[Guest AlwaysPissedOff]

I forgot to add Rick Fox onto my list, but I'm pressed for time, so I'll do it when I get back in an hour.

[Guest Redhawk]

Rick Fox -- I saw him in some B-movie on Cinemax the other day called "The Collectors." He sucks at acting, and he acts like a biatch on the court.

 

Robert Horry -- Are him and Fox the same person? Anyway, he annoys me in the same way, minus the movies.

 

Duke basketball players -- Christian Laettner, Bobby Hurley, Antonio Lang, Grant Hill, Cherokee Parks, Steve Wojo, Mike Dunleavey, Shane Battier, Jeff Capel, Carlos Boozer ...

 

John Elway -- I'm a Browns fan. Figure it out.

 

Evander Holyfield -- He talks all that crap about being a good Christian, and all the while he's cheating on his wife and has like 10 kids out of wedlock. Oh, and he's not as tough as everyone plays him up to be. Bert Cooper had his ass reeling, and now he can't even beat John Ruiz. Most of the other big-name fighters Evander beat were way out of their primes (Foreman, Holmes, Moorer, Tyson, Mercer) anyway. Plus, he always wants to retire after he loses.

[Guest]

Nobody ever did (shut Deion up) because nobody ever could. I would talk shit if I were Deion too. It's his shit talking and grandstanding that made him the money, not his cover skills.

If thats the biggest reason he made his money then the people who paid him were morons. And from what you said Im assuming you meant that his grand standing made people think he was better than he is so he got paid more? Or that the owners decided to pay him alot because hes an arrogant jackass? Because the second is a little out there.

[Guest JerryDrake]

Hey, Rick Fox is good on Oz as Jackson Vayhue.

 

I HATE HATE HATE John Elway. Im sorry, but whenever i see him on my screen i wanna throw somthing at my TV.  He is NOT the greatest QB in the history.

 

Allen Iverson. What a dick, he was very entertaining, and now he doesnt do his fancy moves.

 

Shaq. Enuff said.

[Guest Spaceman Spiff]

Rich Pilon - cheap-shot punk.

Doug Flutie - "aww, he's the underdog".  Shut up.  Plus, his Hail Mary beat my Hurricanes.  And he played for the Bills.  Which leads to...

Jim Kelly, Bruce Smith, Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed - constantly beat my Dolphins throughout the '90's.  I HATE the Bills

Kobe - "Waaah, the Philly fans were booing me at the All-Star game".

Joe Montana - beat my Dolphins in SB XIX.

Scott Stevens - I'm a Flyers fan, he's the Devils captain.  You do the math.

Tom Glavine & Greg Maddux - always getting an extra fucking foot off the plate called as a strike.

 

And even though I'm a Flyers fan, I still like Lindros (despite being on the Rangers now)

[Guest JerryDrake]

I like Doug Flutie, i met him once when he played in the CFL.

 

Nice guy.

[Guest Jericholic82]

You kno wwhy I hate Shaq? Cuz he gets all thos hype.  Yes he is a great player, but that is due to large size more then anything.  If he were average size, he would suck, as we've seen with any shot besides a close one or dunk (free throws included).  If your head goes past the rime then, youll have a easy time.  Btw, I have had it up to hear with NYC hatred.  I know the Yanks have won alot, but that's not a valid reason to be hateful to all of NYC (excluding boston fans

 

Jeter seems to be a nice guy. Some friend of my dads lived in his hometown and knew Derek and his family quite well and said he is still a great guy.  I think that he's just too good so of course anger and jealousy abounds, not that I blame you guys.

 

I agree:Clemens is whacked out, but I'm glad he pitches well for my team

 

I also have to say that Oakland fans booing Giambi is pretty lowclass.  Say what you will about NYC, but any former Ny athelete who comes back to town, usually is greeted with a warm reception.  we don't forget in NY, well except for Darryll Strawberry lol.  

 

I don't think Jason came for the money, he wanted to play for The Yankees (and have a chance to win). If the A's wanted to keep him so badly, they would have given him the deal last season that he wanted.  

 

anyways, disregard anything I have said since I am tired and sick of school.

Who was the more complete corner in the mid-late 90's, Rod Woodson or Deion Sanders? Who hyped themselves up and talked and all that shit the most? Who got the most money from endorsements? Who had so much hype that people speculated that he could turn any team into a contender? I think Rod Woodson would be the correct answer to only one of those questions. Rod Woodson was put on the 75th anniversary team while Deion wasn't, yet Deion made all of the money.

When you say average size, what do you mean? The average person is under 6 feet tall. I don't think anyone under 6 feet tall would be an effective NBA center.

I don't agree with that one bit.  Sure, crowds do lots of disgusting things, but booing Giambi because he doesn't play for your team isn't that bad.  It's certainly not, say, booing the national anthem, cheering a career-ending injury, or throwing beer bottles on the field.  It's the same reason I didn't get all uppity about fans in Philly booing Kobe (WRITE THIS DATE DOWN, I'M DEFENDING PHILLY FANS ON SOMETHING), because no matter where he's from, he's still a Laker, and the Lakers happened to beat the Sixers in five last year.  A's fans shouldn't be expected to cheer for a guy that jumped ship to the Yankees, especially when the Yankees beat the A's in the playoffs last year.  

 

I don't think Jason came for the money, he wanted to play for The Yankees (and have a chance to win). If the A's wanted to keep him so badly, they would have given him the deal last season that he wanted.  

I agree with you there.  I still have a feelnig that Scott Rolen's going to end up in pinstripes too next year, for the same reason - who doesn't want to play in pinstripes, especially if they're willing to pay big money for you?

:Watches end of Pacers-Nets game:

 

Add Kerry Kittles to my list.

[Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly]

I enjoyed that game thoroughly because I'm a Knicks fan. I was pretty impressed with Miller hitting that 3 from way out, but he did miss a WIDE open 3 that could have won the game. I guess it's only fair that he missed it since he got open with an illegal screen. The game suddenly had a lot more meaning when i realized that the Pacers could win the series if they won this game and got to play the elimination game at home. I forgot that the opening round was best of 5 for some reason.

[Guest alfdogg]

Patbrick Ewing

Was that intentional or just a typo?

[Guest alfdogg]

Jim Leyritz- I'm a Braves fan so self explanatory.

I'm a Braves fan too but with bad memory. Could you explain?

Leyritz hit a game-tying homerun in game 5 of the 96 World Series, and the Yankees went on to win that game and then game 6 and the series.

 

I couldn't cheer for anyone...I don't like the Braves, and I was still pretty pissed about the little shithead fan grabbing the ball from Jeffrey Hammonds in the ALCS.  The O's were my team then...
