Athletes you hated their entire career (but respect them secretly)?

[ghostsinthemachine]

The category Tom Brady fits in to IMO

[DarthDem]

1. Derek Jeter

n/t

[oswaldactedalone]

2. "Fat Jack"

Nicklaus.

[First Speaker]

3. Randy Johnson

[Afromania]

4. hmmm

Tom Brady, no, no and no. For you to say such a thing... Any Jets fans on this board are probably hissing at the screen like a tail stepped cat.

I'm going to have to go with Scottie Pippen. Couldn't stand him but he's everything I'd like to get out of the small forward position. Would have taken him with Ewing in a heartbeat.

5. Roger Staubach. n/t

6. Not an athlete, but in the field, Tom Popovich

[physioex]

7. McEnroe...EOM

[cwydro]

8. I don't respect him.

But agree on the hate.

Still can't stand him.

He's a whiny puke.

[physioex]

10. He earned a few points for this...

[sharp_stick]

9. Wayne Gretzky

and pretty much any member of a mid 80s Oilers team.

[Ron Obvious]

11. Christiano Ronaldo

Narcissistic showpony. Still one of the best players of all times.

12. John McEnroe has turned out to be AOK in my book....He's a Progressive, I think he does

an excellent job when he's doing the announcing for various tennis tournaments, and he ended up raising 4 or 5 kids by himself because the mother of his children at the time (Tatum O'Neal) had a horrible drug problem. At least that's my understanding. I think about what my "reputation" would be had I been rich and famous when I was young and had cameras following me around and O.M.G.!

13. BARRY BONDS.

BLEH!... but, He never let the Giants down.
