Top Ten Most Hated Athletes

....hated by their peers, not the fans, surprising list

GQ went with inside stories and once they were confirmed by beat writers, they went to their "inside sources" including players and coaches.

#10 Lleyton Hewitt.... Aussie tennis player, big racist, made a biggot comment on tennis court when a black linesman called him for multiple foot faults which every tennis pro knows he does all the time, primadonna who listens to Rocky theme to get pumped up and calls himself Rock on the court

#9 A.J. Pierzynski.... baseball, he was once nailed by a ball in training camp in the groin and a concerned trainer ran up and asked him, "Are you okay, are you okay? How does it feel?" which Pierzynkski responded by kneeing the trainer in the groin and replying, "Like that!" :eek:

#8 Phil Mickelson.... golfers say his Tin Cup persona is just a act, they call him "Big Jim" which stands for "I'm good, just ask me," switching from Titleist to Callaway before Ryder Cup pissed off his teammates, not playing in PGA Tour Championship 2005 before a TV contract was just about renegotiated pissed off golfers

#7 Bonzi Wells.... bad team player, been traded to 3 NBA teams even though undoubtedly talented, always threatening players and reporters when cameras aren't on him

#6 Michael Iaconelli.... bass fisher, brought Dennis Rodman style to a sport that until now was a gentleman's sport, from the northeast (outsider), the fishermen call him "America's Biggest Bass Hole" :D

#5 Kobe Bryant.... teammates don't think he shares the ball, teammates say he never hangs out with them off the court and wants nothing to do with them

#4 Curt Schilling.... his teammates say they like him every 5th day LOL, suspicion throughout baseball that the famous spot of blood on his ankle was fake and he doctored it to look good, notorious for striking poses in dugout when he knows the camera is on him

#3 Kurt Busch... after he won the 2004 Nextel Cup series, his sponsor actually thought about dropping him LOL, has no respect for authority including fights with the police, tell his pit crew he's going to fire them at every race

#2 Barry Bonds....teammates at all levels of baseball said he was rude and self-centered, says he has the world's biggest chip on his shoulder, big mood swings, one day happy go lucky, next day biggest awesome person in world

#1 Terrell Owens.... self explanatory


Honorable Mentions:

Jeff Kent... baseball, teammates say he has two moods: sour and angry

Randy Johnson.... teammates say the only time he smiles is when he embarrasses someone, wouldn't allow coaches to select the defense when he played in Arizona, hand picked everything himself

Rasheed Wallace.... pisses off teammates by how much he has temper tantrums and gets himself kicked out of games often, coincientally great friends with #7 on the list, Bonzi Wells

A-Rod.... insecure guy who teammates say always has to hear from people how great he is, some writers say he's not phony

Danny Fortson.... pissed off NBA teammates by refusing to play in a blowout, tries to take out guys knees on court

I would think Peyton Manning would be rapidly moving up the list.
