Subject: Sports' Most Pathetic Losers!!

Written By: Tony20fan4ever on 05/11/05 at 6:07 pm

Which of these is truly pathetic in your opinion?

Notice Tony Stewart is there,so those who don't like him can vent.

Darrell Waltrip is disgusting when he talks trash about other drivers who he thinks are 'aggressive'...It's called 'The pot calling the kettle black'...Big Mouth DW was one of the dirtiest drivers in the sport...even Dale Earnhardt had no love lost for him...and the #3 was definitely an agressive driver...but not a loudmouth like DW!

Rusty Wallace earns a spot on the list because he expected his teammate,Ryan Newman,to move aside and let him grab the win..and all the glory. Needless to say..Newman refused, and Rusty lost several spots in the race...Rusty acted like Mister Big Shot and got into it with HIS OWN TEAMMATE..I used to have tremendous respect for the Miller Lite #2 driver..now he's just an idiot.

Yes I know Tony Stewart is not an angel..but he has respect for his teammates..and yes also for his loyal fans...who love him the way he is..one tough NASCAR driver!

Barry, takes SUCH good care of his body and yet doesn't check when he ingests steriods...whatever, dude!

OJ - Double Murder >:(

Bertuzzi - NO remorse for his cowardly act >:(

Pete Rose - Admits to gambling right AFTER his book comes out ::)

Pay-Rod - Greedy  jerk who knocked a ball out of a Boston players glove during the ALCS...on NATIONAL TELIVISION...and complained when called out for interference!

At least Sprewell apologized to PJ....though chocking him was BS.

I'll add....Javier Lopez who was PISSED when ESPN DARED question the mysterious Atlanta Braves strike-zone ::)

MOST of the "Pro" Wrestlers who do nothing good as examples for kids...and are but athletic actors...who cuss ::) They also CLAIM to be in a REAL sport but aren't EVER in a Sports section or featured on ESPN....get over it folks....it's NOT real  ;)

Whine King...Kansas City QB Trent Green...macho show-off Dante Hall...and crybaby Tony Gonzalez

Macho big mouth and former Denver Bronco, Shannon Sharpe

Baltimore Raven Ray Lewis...who got away with murder

ALL Oakland Raider Fans...except ONE (Jessica)

Jimmie Johnson made the list coz he's been really annoying lately...he's been wrecking other drivers...some of those he's wrecked say that he's doing it deliberately...and drivers and fans think he's really gotten immature AND too big for his britches.

On the other hand....His teammate Jeff Gordon is a clean racer...and very mature and focused,on and off the racetrack..He's not my fave...but I respect #24 immensely!!

I take objection to A-Rod being on that list. If your agent gets you two contract offers, one for $120 million and one for $252 million, which are you really going to take? Be honest. It's not his fault that Texas' owner outbid himself and offered a ridiculous contract before the market had a chance to set itself. What should A-Rod have done when Texas came with the offer, said 'no'?

Yes, I am a Yankee fan, by the way. That being said, Jason Giambi really needs to be on the list. Along with a bunch of others...

Marty McSorley (NHL)

Freddie (FredEx) Mitchell (NFL)

Michael Vick, aka Ron Mexico (NFL)

Kellen Winslow Jr., aka Evel Kellneivel (NFL)

Roberto Alamor (MLB)

Albert Belle (MLB)

Frank Francisco (MLB)

Bill Romanowski (NFL)

Mike Tyson (Boxing)

John McEnroe (Tennis)

These are just the ones I'd name off the top of my head, over some other names on the list. I don't know anything about Nascar (other than that it's boring  ;)) so I can't pass judgement on some of them.

I'm still pissed he left all his fans in Seattle...but anyway, what of the "Incident" in the ALCS? I mean, he was caught and yet he wan't man enough to admit he did it :-\\

I agree with everyone on that list except Michael Vick.  He is definitely not a pathetic loser, he is the first one to admit he has a lot to learn, and he amazes coaches with how open minded he really is.  On top of that he is one of the friendliest Athletes you will meet (not that it has anything to do with the topic).

Darrell Waltrip shouldn't even be on the list, the guy was a great driver and is a colourfull anouncer, he was also a friend of Dale Earnhardt, I hope it made you feel good to call Darrell a "Pathetic Loser"   >:(

I don't remember hearing this about Javy, I think he's a class act, always a fan favourite in Atlanta, it's nothing that is following him around and dogging his career, yes Atlanta got a bigger strike zone but the zone is much more stable for everyone since they merged the NL and AL umpires, you can see that Maddox and Glavine are no longer getting their old strike zones, but luckily they are no longer Braves... would you like an Eric Greg behind the plate each night?... the only thing wider then his strike zone is his @ss ;D

Just my opinion...as far as him being a 'colorful' announcer..NBC's BENNY PARSONS is better at that..and he's also fair while DW tends to be biased. Benny is well spoken and a total professional. Also he has been around NASCAR for years..

Yes,I tend to like NASCAR's 'bad boy' drivers....That's why I liked Cale Yarbourough(he was HUGE when I started watching NASCAR with my mom)AND Dale Earnhardt(RIP #3)...and now my faves are Tony Stewart and Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Darrell Waltrip was a Bad Boy in the late 70s and early 80s, he stayed behind the wheel to long, his winning days were long gone after he had his "big one" but I don't think he fits as a Pathetic Loser, he didn't kill anyone, he's not on drugs, he's fan friendly, he does a lot to promote the sport and was voted fans favourite in the past, I would of thought Robby Gordon could replace Darrel in the pole, he did cost Tony at any chance for a title, but off the track Robby is a class guy too, giving to charities and visiting sick children in hospitals, My favourite right now is Tony Stewart as well, I followed Darrel Waltrip since 1980 when I first got into NASCAR... I also think Richard Petty doesn't get the respect he deserves, he won 7 titles before Dale won his 7, he won 200 races and is a NASCAR legend, I just wish Petty would put some good drivers behind the wheel  :)

Pete Rose is a great example of how any addiction(his was gambling) can bring the curtains down on one's career...It made him so desperate he did the unthinkable and bet on his own sport...and on his own team...DUHHHH!  :D :D

and Mike Tyson is just a waste  :P...as well as a convicted RAPIST...and a true IDIOT!! Tyson is small change compared to boxing LEGENDS such as Muhammad Ali,Joe Lewis,and Smokin' Joe Frasier!

That was after he became an embarassment to the Colts. I'd didn't think they would ever draft a QB in the as the top pick in first round after he did nothing but squirm and scream and clamor. A heavy burden was lifted after he was traded to Atlanta.
Yeah...an embarrassment to the Redskins..and to the NFL!

Rusty Wallace's 'cold shoulder' treatment of his Penske Racing South teammate Ryan Newman is absolutely uncalled for IMHO! Crusty Rusty expecting his teammate to back off and hand him a win on a silver platter just because he's retiring is WRONG.  >:(

Rusty actually used to pay off his fines with bags of PENNIES. NASCAR was NOT amused,needless to say! ??? ???

At least Mark Martin and Terry Labonte are going out with class...."Viagraman" is a clean racer who does NOT make boneheaded mistakes...same for "Iceman" Terry....

Randy Johnson (MLB). I saw him go off on a fan a few years back. This guy has a nasty temper.

John Ruiz (Boxing) gets my other vote.

I always thought is was stupid to trade Andre Rison to get Jeff George, it didn't make sense to trade your number one receiver to get a QB
