Default Most Hated Sports Personalities...

Hey everyone.

Was talking about this with the guys at work today. We were discussing who the most hated personalities in sports are.

The key word here is "personalities." That means it doesn't necessarily have to be an athlete...it could be a commentator, a player, a coach, a reporter, a ref...whatever, just so long as it's a person that is involved in sports.

Let's hear it guys, who do you hate the most out there in the sporting world??

As far as commentators go my most hated is a tie between John Madden and Dick Vitale. I can't stand either one.

I was gonna say "I'll start," but Jake beat me to it!!!!!


For me, right now, it's about a three way tie.

1. Drew Rosenhaus--that agent. He's a fricken jackass and he really knows how to make great players into arrogant pricks.

2. Dick Vitale--what an annoying ass hat.

3. The 1972 Miami Dolphins players--any group of people that actually get together to toast another team's loss is a group of people that are like school in summer...no class. (For anyone that doesn't know, the remaining members of this team get together to toast themselves whenever the last remaining undefeated team loses every year)

Diego Maradona probably qualifies for most hated and loved person in Sporting History
World Cup Final Game against England won 2-1 after scoring with his hand.

commentators would be Vitale, he is so annoying, Madden can get a lil annoying 2 but as far as players....
I dont know his name (maybe Taylor) but anyways there is a guy who is a DB for the Steelers and EVERYTIME he hits someone or tackles them he stands on top of them and puffs all up and stares down at them like he did somethin great when really a powderpuff girl coulda hit harder, hes such a prick. i mean if u took a pick back for a TD or really hammered someone OK, but when the guy got 30 yards on u 1-on-1 and u happen to grab his shoelace and tackle him u look like an idiot standing on top of him like u conquered mt everest.

Now Gimp take it easy with the Dolphins there buddy, UNDEFEATED is the key word here, no other team has EVER done it, i think that deserves a toast and its unfortunate that it has to be at someone elses expense but what can u do? im sure the other team was invited to the party but declined cuz they suck, i mean they were busy that night

I think that you are talking about Joey Porter of the Steelers.


And no, the 72 Dolphins get no love. They are a bunch of hill-billies with no class. Aren't half of them homeless these days anyways??

mr tuff guy behind the mic.

J Thiesman & T Kornhole on MNF,-- them two need to shut up & let Tirico
do all the talking.

Dicky V -- annoying.

TO & Moss --needs to learn theres no "I" in team.

A Iverson-- talk proper english. Gansta talk is annoying.

The 1929 Green Bay Packers went 12-0-1, and finished the season undefeated.
The 1948 Cleveland Browns finished the season 15-0 in the All-America Football Conference, one year (maybe two) before the NFL absorbed this rival pro football league.


And there have been several teams that have had longer winning streaks than that Dolphins team. The Patriots won 18 or 19 straight spanning two seasons a few years back, which is a record for the Super Bowl era.


People mistake the Dolphins as being the only undefeated team...when in reality they are really only the only undefeated SUPER BOWL Champion. Before the Super Bowl era, there weer the two listed above.

What'dya gotta say 'bout dat???
