Who is Modern Pro Sports History's Biggest Asshole?

[EarlJam]

Modern as in, since 1980.

[DukeUsul]

TO - mainly because his assholery tore apart every team he spent more than two years on.

[gadzooks]

I loooooooathe T.O.

Did anybody else watch The Superstars last year? I was so, SO amused by Joanna Krupa verbally abusing him. It was awesome.

Half the NFL and NBA would have to be included for the list to be viable.

And how did Mike Tyson manage to stay out of the poll?

Ooooooh, good call.

I must say, however, that to be an "asshole," you have to be smart (in my opinion). To me, Tyson was just a dumb ass. Assholes KNOW they are being Assholes. They manipulate. They are twin brothers to "Dicks."

Yes, it takes some I.Q. to be a genuine asshole or dick. That's why many men consider it a compliment to be called an asshole or a dick. It's also why many women are attracted to them.

Tyson was more of a dumb ass, but still, your point is quite valid. He definitely had some asshole qualities.

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.

Vick was never an asshole...........he's a dumb ass. (see above post regarding the difference)

I sense a poll coming here ... you're missing a dumbass poll for the sake of completeness.

I could think of a bunch..but limiting myself to the list I went Pete Rose.

[lawgrad91]

I despise Michael Jordan. I would not spit in his mouth if he was dying of thirst.

[Miles]

I went with other, but I can't think of an exact name quite yet. There are so many assholes I'd like to include in this list, I can't name just one.
OJ Simpson
John Thompson, Jr.
Lawrence Taylor
George Steinbrenner
Al Davis
Daniel Synder
Alen Iverson
Any one of the Fab Five
Rasheed Wallace
Chris Paul
Barry Fucking Bonds

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?

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

[OZZIE4DUKE]

I went with John McEnroe. Never liked the guy; always rooted for Jimmy Connors to whup his ass!

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.

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.

You really didn't invoke Hitler in your argument, did you?

You are automatically disqualified. Bzzt. Debate over.















EJ doesn't win however. I agree with Miles. Steinbrenner was still an asshole. Hell, he was a yankee owner AND a tarheel fan. The Lord burn his miserable soul in hell.
