I love top 10 lists. (Except when they are accompanied by unfunny commentary from D list celebs and comedians…ahem…VH1.) In February’s GQ, they list the top 10 most hated athletes by their peers. Here’s the list. My comments in italics.
10. Lleyton Hewitt “Hewitt is disliked by every other player on the international circuit.”
9. A. J. Pierzynski “Pierzynski, crouched behind the plate, took a pitch to the groin. Rushing to his aid, trainer Stan Conte asked him how he felt. “Like this!” Pierzynski grunted, then savagely kneed Conte in the balls.”
8. Phil Mickelson “Phil Mickelson literally has no friends out there. He annoys everybody.”
7. Bonzi Wells “He was fined for bad-mouthing his own fans in Sports Illustrated.”
6. Michael Iaconelli I’m sorry, bass fishing? I thought this was a list of athletes.
5. Kobe Bryant I’ll take the rapists for $200, Alex
4. Curt Schilling The biggest blowhard in all of sports.
3. Kurt Busch He told NASCAR to lick his salty balls. Yeah, and?
2. Barry Bonds Biggest dick in baseball
1. Terrell Owens Interesting that the magazine that just did a feature story on TO makes him the #1 most hated athlete.
