San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 This is great news. Now we can get back to hating the guy. Very funny post. But it got me thinking today of those we hate in sports and how often we're actually being fair about it. For instance: Willis McGahee: * Refused to stay in Buffalo for offseason workouts and attended the minimum required OTA's. * Said unflattering things about the city. * Paternity testing proved him the father of two children. Travis Henry: * 2002 misdemeanor in Hamburg>sex with a minor * 2005 four game suspension for substance abuse policy violation * 2007 failed drug test, won on appeal, no time lost to suspension * 2008 failed drug test, one-year suspension * 2008 disclosure that he's fathered 9 children with 9 different women * 2008 busted on federal cocaine-trafficking charges, faces 10 years Anquan Boldin: * 2004 Rookie of the Year, only rookie Pro Bowler * 2004-2008 Sets 4 NFL Records and 5 team records, 3 Pro Bowls * 2007 Voted offensive team captain * 2008 Angry that Larry Fitzgerald is signed to a 4-year, $40 million contract ($10 million/year)and that the Cardinals refuse to renegotiate his deal with 3 years and $12 million ($4 million/year) remaining, demands a trade, Cardinals refuse * 2008 Plays with and through a fractured face, doesn't complain all season long, returns to play very well * Yesterday melts down and screams at offensive coordinator in the midst of Arizona's game winning drive because he's not on the field So Anquan is getting lots of hate today and McGahee is very much hated in these parts. And yet what are we comparing them to? Don't get me wrong. I'm not moralizing or criticizing. It's just interesting to me. Now Pacman Jones? there's someone worth hating.

WVUFootball29 Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Now Pacman Jones? there's someone worth hating. He's not worth the oxygen to discuss. I couldn't stand him at WVU, him and Chris Henry were two of the biggest wanna be thugs I ever had the pleasure of meeting. But those are the kind of guys Rich Rod likes on his teams.

Jon in Pasadena Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Maybe they gave him a free brain transplant before being discharged. That could explain the diagnosis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Reminds me of when Dizzy Dean got beaned in a ballgame. The headline the next day was: X-Rays of Dean's Head Reveal Nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
