    Spurrier counts for me. Though Snyder and Jerry Jones have to be among the most hated sports owners ever.

    No, I know how bad he was in Washington.

    Some college coaches (Spurrier, your boy Pete Carroll, Pitino, Callipari, Dennis Erickson, and on and on and on) try to implement their successful college systems, and they fail.

    Spurrier ran Stephen Davis out of town and tried to play his old QBs, he may have ruined Patrick Ramsey by allowing him to get splattered all over the turf every single play.

    However, he's back in college, and it all was a bad dream. You never should have run out a legend like Schottenheimer, so blame your ass of an owner.

    Though I'm glad Gibbs is back (He needs to be given offensive play calling duties again), I to agree Marty should have been given more than one season to work out, though that could probably be attributed more to his personality clash with Snyder than anything else.

    I really can't stand Ozzie Guillen, as a coach. As a player? He always played hard. I appreciated it. As a manager, though, man i wish he'd shut up already.

    I know it's tough because in this day and age of the PC climate, people go off the deep over the tiniest little thing, but Ozzie needs to learn when to hold'em and when to fold'em.

    Funny, it's been four pages and nobody's mentioned Al Davis yet!

    I'm a diehard Raider fan, but even the most hardcore Raider fan will admit that Davis frustrates us with some of his unconventional decisions.

    Teams I dislike: Denver Broncos, KC Chiefs, SD Chargers, (naturally), Yankees

    Despised individuals: any member of the above teams, TO, Michelle Wie, Kenny Rogers, Red Sox fans, Mike Shanahan, Bobby Knight, the former owners of the Oakland A's, Wayne Rooney, Marco Materazzi, French cycling media... these are just the ones off the top of my head.






    *waits for the discussion to inevitably turn into a Raider fan hatefest *

    I think it's funny that everyone in our division hates the Raiders. But it's not so for other teams. We Chiefs hate the Raiders and the Broncos (both scummy/cheap), but not the Chargers. Oh sure, we want to beat the Chargers every time we play them. But they have tended to be classy to us on the field, something the Raiders and Broncos haven't done historically. So no rivalry has developed between us and SD. Actually, if we're not playing them and it doesn't affect us, I like SD.

    But everyone hates the Raiders, even outside the AFC West :p

    How in the world could you hate LT?

    Those other 2 i can understand, but LT? He's, like, an example of everything that's RIGHT with sport.

    Yeah, Michelle Wie really needs to focus on LPGA events as opposed to entering all of these mens tournaments, only to finish last or next to last. It'd be different if she had actually won something (such as the case with Annika Sorenstam), but these are purely publicity stunts that serve no purpose whatsoever. If she can't even compete and win in the LPGA, then she has no business in PGA events.

    Im not saying hes bad, just over rated. Larry Johnson (KC) is much better IMO.

    Eh, i think Larry Johnson doesn't get the credit because it's generally accepted that KC has/had an awesome O-Line.

    I mean, you had Priest Holmes in there who was putting up astronomical numbers, and then he gets hurt and they plug LJ in there and *HE* puts up astronomical numbers.

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned AJ Pierzynski. When the Sox played games away almost every ballpark boos him. Besides White Sox fan, everyone seems to hate him. If he wasn't with the Sox I probably wouldn't like him either. His attitude can be annoying.

    I can imagine a lot of people hating Ozzie. :p
    He got ejected in 8 or more games for us this year.
    And he was also suspened for 2 games.
    Still I think he's the best coach the White Sox have had in a very long time.

    Hey, you can't argue with his results.

    I agree, he's the best the Sox have had in a good long while--he connects with those players in an uncanny way.
