Deadspin's List of the 10 Worst Men In Sports

This list is fraud without Sean Avery

 

Cowherd, like his big buddies in news-screech radio (not to mention celebrity-bitch politics), has perfected the craft of tiptoeing right up to the N-line to true artistry.

Someday soon some brave soul will break the barrier, stomp over the line, and the gates will be opened for all.

However, there are millions of other reasons Cowherd is a piece of shit besides that. Perfectly epitomizes the sports-radio genre of aggressively asinine whining sniggering fratboy which has spread across the nation like a plague.

 

Hmmm ...

Tony LaRussa - Overwrought ego, but awful person? Not buying.
Jim Nantz - The affair wasn't smart, and the "our sport" issue with golf wasn't brilliant, but I've got to imagine there are 10 worse.
Mike Krzyzewski - Whatever ... he wants to control more of the media message. Name a coach who doesn't.

Could have opted for:

John Calipari - Damn the rules, full speed ahead.
Leonard Little - Talk about full speed ahead ...
Pick someone from the IOC - No corruption there ... no chance ...

 

The La Russa thing must have been a sop to the large online sabermetric contingent. But wouldn't Joe Morgan been a more fitting sop?

 

Michael Vick?

Looking through that list again, I noticed at least one characteristic the 10 share.

 

He picked Sepp Blatter... IOC, FIFA... interchangeable in corruption..

 

Cowherd is a festering canker sore on the scab of a crackwhore's wart covered anus. But he's no less racist than John Thompson on his godawful radio show. The difference being Thompson only gets a local show and Cowherd gets a National one.

 

Not a fan of Cutler, but he's not even close. There's a big difference between being a dick and being a bad person.

Favre should have been on that list. I think Coach K is a dick and I hate Duke, but he doesn't deserve to be on that list.

 

I think Berman should have made the list.

 

Let's write our own list. The crux is, you can't just list a name, you have to craft the argument.

Go.

 

I keep telling people that.
