Hey Legend buddy...I think they are going to throw a flag on the field for the Nixon bit...I think we are suppose to be politics free...or so that's what Ross posted after the Ali-draft thing...Can we keep it to plain Steve Howe on this one...

Ah, Steve Howe...the Robert Downey Jr. of the MLB. How many times was he suspended? Ten? Why? I can understand the NBA giving Lamar Odom four slaps on the wrist and allowing his return; he only smoked pot. Howe, on the other hand, was a walking Walgreens...more MLB hypocrisy, i suppose.

Cheers, all.

I was just trying to come up with some sort of situation to compare Howe's to. I despised him when he was getting all those chances and still screwing up. Imagine my utter horror to find him coming to the Yankees.

My most hated athlete was Cris Carter Eagles/Vikings. My hate for him flourished watching him play the Bears twice a year while with the Vikings. He always looked like a little whiner. If you asked him, every incomplete pass was either the QB's fault or there was pass interference. There are players you hate when they are on the other team, but would love to have on your side. Cris Carter is not one of them.

Randy Moss falls in that category. For some reason (I grudgingly admit the reason is probably talent), the Bears rarely got a clean shot on this guy. However, I do recall a few cases of alligator arms.

In baseball, Sammy Sosa was my most hated athlete. It started with his time on the south side of Chicago, but blossomed while he was with the Cubs. Athletes that put themselves above the team drive me crazy. Sammy, you could have been a 5 tool guy, but instead you were a tool.

This one's been sitting pretty quiet for a while... anyone want to add to the hate parade?

[Bette]

Yeah, Tom Brady

Envy probably plays a small part in that.

[Phils20]

I'd like to second Ray Lewis.

I don't hate many athletes, but he just rubs me the wrong way. As do the folks who support him. He is treated like a hero, and while he may not have killed anyone, it is certain he knows what happened many years ago.

It is sickening to see a stadium full of fans rain down the cheers upon him, and laud his leadership. He had the chance to do the right things as a man, not an athlete, and he chose the punk life of protecting a killer or killers.

No on can top that.

He helped beat up on the Bears

[Lefty Noob]

Awful early to be "hating" Peterson, bears - wait until he torches the Bears for three or four seasons or so, then we can call it hate.
