And how did Mike Tyson manage to stay out of the poll?
Vick was never an asshole...........he's a dumb ass. (see above post regarding the difference)Lavabe wrote:Roger Clemens or Floyd Landis (or maybe even Lance Armstrong) or Zinadine Zidane (head butt your team out of the World Cup) rank high, but
if we have to go with a major sport, then Bonds or McGwire rank high, but neither touches the BIGGEST A-Hole...
MICHAEL VICK.
NOTE: OJ Simpson doesn't count.

Steinbrenner was Soooooooooooooooo unique. He gave millions to charity but made it conditional. The condition? That NO press or publicity should be made of what he gave. How aweome and unique is that?Miles wrote:Have you forgotten history?EarlJam wrote:Steinbrenner - NOT an asshole.Miles wrote:I went with other, but I can't think of an exact name quite yet.

Sorry EJ, but giving to charity doesn't preclude you from being an asshole. Following your logic, if Hitler gave millions to charity under the same conditions as Steinbreener then he wouldn't be an asshole.EarlJam wrote:Steinbrenner was Soooooooooooooooo unique.

Was he a shrewd, Trump-like businessman, yes. But he had a good heart.

Steinbrenner was manipulative, unreasonably outspoken, had a foul mouth, and was suspended from baseball twice. He was a criminal that got one of the sweetest plea deals that it makes multiple top ten lists for shady presidential pardons.
He was, in every sense of the word, a shining example of an asshole.
