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.

Re: Who is Modern Pro Sports History's Biggest Asshole?
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.

Re: Who is Modern Pro Sports History's Biggest Asshole?
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.

Re: Who is Modern Pro Sports History's Biggest Asshole?
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.

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 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.
