2. Barry Bonds
1. Terrell Owens

I don't hate any of those people, most especially TO. My least favorite is Kobe, though.

TO's former teammates say they like the guy, BTW. I also think that Barry Bonds has an unjust reputation. He's one of the more honest professional athletes you will find in terms of his speaking his mind.

NO Dennis Rodman?

I was thinking the same thing, but you'd have to call him an ex-athlete.

Jerry Porter of the Raiders should be on the list, he punched his pregnant g/f in the stomach in college and would hit her in the face (she would wear shades a lot to hide her face). I have no respect for fcking thug wife beaters... and yeah, I dated this woman's best friend so that's how I know.

T.O. being the most hated athlete is just silly. Sure, T.O. is a jerk...but football is a business...he has the right to hold out for a better contract if he wants to, he has the right to talk bad about his piece of sh1t QB if he wants to. And bottom line, Owens just wants the ball and he wants to win.

By all accounts, T.O. is a good husband, a good father, and a good friend...that is what matters in life.

You don't see or hear TO beating his wife and kids, doing drugs, selling drugs, having public sex on boats , murdering people, cheating on his wife and raping people, getting drunk at Maxim parties days before the 2005 superbowl and then playing like sh1t then coming to training for the 05 season in even worse shape (yes McNabb, I'm calling your chubby ass out).

In my opinion...the Eagles are a fvcking cry baby organization and I'm glad for T.O. that he's done with them.

I'm with you 100%. Owens came back from serious injury to play in the Super Bowl for the Eagles and his contribution was far greater than anybody could expect. He wasn't selfish - he wanted with all his heart for them to win. Give him his due.

I also dug that piece at the start of MNF with T.O. and that TV babe. That was live!

People put him down for ranting, but that doesn't mean a thing. Objectively, there's no more gifted wide receiver, physically. He obviously works really hard and has unlimited desire. The stuff that he does (that he gets put down for) just goes with the territory of the NFL, IMO. And the fact of the matter is that T.O. is good for the NFL, and I'm quoting a professional there (don't remember his name). T.O.'s colorful, exciting, never boring.

I was unaware of any issues with Jerry Porter, WR with the Raiders. Now, Bill Romanowski was one of the real assholes of the NFL. It's unbelievable that he got off so cheap when being sued by a former teammate after having ended his career by slugging him in the face during a practice.

vince carter deserves to be above Kobe.

I don't think ron artest belongs on the list. He's done some bad stuff but he's still a team player generally and is well-respected. Kobe's on the list for what happened between him and shaq, and that's about it.

TO belongs on the list because he does not hesitate to criticize anyone and everyone. He goes out of his way to alienate and insult the players on his teams (he did it on SF as well).

Forget about his contract issues, that has little to do with it.

Why isn't Robbie Gordon on that list? Big mouth whiny no talent blowhard that he is, he should have cracked the top 10.
