Of course, none of of WANTS to see anyone suffer a career-ending injury, but just for kicks, who's on your list?

 

Warren Sapp

Roger Clemens

Lennox Lewis

I believe too strongly in karma, so won't go as far as to say "I hope so-and-so has a career ending injury" but there are a ton of people that I wish would just retire and then disappear from the public eye ...

 

A lot of my choices have already been mentioned (Sapp, Favre, Clemens, Kobe) but others include:

 

The Manning family (including old man Archie)

Giambi, but the parasite can stay

Pedro

Bonds

Kellen Winslow II-fucking take the money and quit being a bitch

 

 

p.s. i haven't checked any sports info since last night, so he may have signed since then...

Fucking A, Lushus, good call ... I'm wicked pissed that I forgot him. Turning down a contract that would have made him the highest paid tight end is a fucking joke.

 

He's someone that can get injured ... but not in a game, I want it to happen randomly and BEFORE he signs his contract. Good luck in the real world, jackass.

I hear ya. So with that in mind...

 

- Chris Chelios

- Tie Domi

- Bonds

- Clemens

- Rickey

- Venus Williams (because I like Serena's play)

- Mike Tyson

- Kobe

- Iverson

- Terrell Owens

- Warren Sapp

- Kurt Warner

- Eli Manning (you know, I really need to trade Tiki Barber in my keeper league...)

- Anna Kournikova (hey, with Sharapova around, who needs her?)

- Tony Twist (you were a goon, not some goal scoring angel. McFarlane cost you nothing, and probably gave you more publicity than you deserve. Deal with it)

- Don Cherry (not an athlete, but, GO AWAY, GRAPES)

 

- d also like Brett Hull to retire, but not to disappear. I want him to replace Cherry on HNIC...

Craig Biggio (whiny bitch)

Adam Everett (just because I'm sick of the constant blowjobs he gets here)

Iverson

Lebron James

 

And then your "standard" guys:

Sapp

Kobe

Terrell Owens

 

On the other hand, I don't really mind Bonds and I do not understand the Clemens hate at all.

I do not understand the Clemens hate at all.

Talk to any Boston fan. Or (to a lesser degree) any Toronto fan.

Or crybaby Yankee fans. I can understand the Red Sox fans hating him, but not for BJays and Yanks fans.

 

Here's my list...

Venus & Serena Williams 7x over

Kobe Bryant

Shaquille "I can't shoot for shit" O'Neal

Randy Johnson

Curt Schilling

Pedro Martinez

Danny Williams

Felix Heredia

 

And probably a lot more, but only MLB players stick in my head.

Oh, I know the whole "Clemens betrayed us!" angle to it, but I just don't understand why they hate him for it. Wasn't Duquette the one that ran Clemens out of Boston? And why would Toronto fans be pissed? He won the Cy Young both years he pitched for you on what were two pretty average teams.

 

I guess my not being a fan of either Boston or Toronto lets me look at it through unbiased eyes and the fact that I love Clemens's drive to win and his take-no-shit-from-anyone attitude keeps me from ever hating the guy.

 

Unless he were to knock the Cubs out of the playoffs or something...then it'd be on.

I'll say the same thing I say which any "Athletes you hate...." thread. If you have ten or more athletics on your list, the problem is you.

Woohoo! I only have 9, and a few are just short-lived hates.

I don't hate Clemens as much as I did about 3 or 4 years ago, but I'll give you my reasons as to why I thought he was the scum of the earth back then. The Jays won 88 games in '98 and finished only 4 games behind the Red Sox for the Wild Card. Then, Clemens exercises this stupid clause that he had put into his contract and demands a trade and the main player they get back in return is someone who really doesn't want to be there (Wells). It's even more frustrating when you think that he had 2 of the best back-to-back seasons a pitcher has had in recent memory and the team has nothing to show for it in terms of results on the field or players in return (Graeme Lloyd left as a free agent, Homer Bush was cut a few seasons later, and there was the whole fiasco with the David Wells to Chicago trade).

 

That being said, I don't really have any athletes that I'd wish career ending injuries on, but there are a few who if they had one I would probably get a chuckle out of it.

Clemens allowed himself to fall terribly out of shape, and his pitching suffered as a result. So, the Red Sox brass thought that he was on the downside of his career and then let him leave. And then he gets back in great shape and pitches like he's 5-10 years younger.

 

It's like having a girlfriend that stops dressing up or wearing make-up or caring about her appearance, so you break up with her. And then she starts dating your neighbor but is looking her best again, and seems to be going out of her way to look her very best. Even though it was you that ended it, it still pisses you off.

And, to add onto that, when he went to Toronto, he basically ignored the fans that had supported him for all those years because of his grudge against Red Sox management.

 

To put that in comparison:

 

When Drew Bledsoe was traded to the Bills, he took out two pages in, I think it was the Globe, but anyway, a Boston newspaper to thank fans for supporting him throughout the years.

What's with the Venus & Serena hate? Sure I wouldn't mind seeing their Dad have to have his mouth wired shut, but I really have no problem with the sisters.

I don't want his career over but I want Ray Lewis to knock TO knock for the season with a shot that would sound like thunder.

 

I have no respect for Owens and if any team in the NFL deserves the chance to level him it's the Baltimore Ravens.

 

But career ending? No way, that's just too damn harsh.

Seconded

 

 

I only have two on my list: Favre and Jeter

 

I would say Clemens, but he only has one or two years left anyway...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aw hell, add him to my list

I'd rather have Lewis disappear than TO.

 

If I had a dollar for everytime I had to sit there and listen to an announcer verbally fellate Lewis, I could retire today. The man is very, very good, no doubt about it. But to compare him to LT or Singletary is a joke.

I think they kiss up to him too much, but as far as best LB's of all time I think Ray Lewis can be in the fold.

 

And as a Bengal fan, I hate saying that....
