Worst Sports Break-ups

Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty.

 

I personally find Keenan one of the most fascinating people in sports.
First time I interviewed him, looked down to check audio level and inadvertently bumped him in the chin with the microphone. He gently reached up and pulled the mic down a few inches.
No big deal.

 

No, but if it's already been said, at least add something about it.

 

Dibs is dibs. We’re living in a society people!

 

Mike and the Mad Dog.

 

I understand why Baltimore is bitter toward the Colts, but it always makes me laugh that they seem to ignore how the Ravens arrived in their city.

Speaking of which, Art Modell and Cleveland deserves a mention.

 

Antonio Brown and the Steelers...and the Raiders....and the Patriots....and the Bucs. He really made each of those ugly in their own way.

 

Yeah, I thought of posting Jannetty’s cowardly escape through the Barber Shop window. I decided to go NHL instead.

 

… and the Albany Empire …

How Antonio Brown's Albany Empire went from champions to defunct

 

Likewise, the Dodgers and Andy Messersmith.

 

Ha! This makes me think of story I'm sure I've told here before about an interview I did with Tim McKyer. When I asked him about what happened in his departure from Carolina, he said it was the result of a "personal vendetta" against him. I reminded that was the same thing he'd said about several previous stops, and he said, "Yeah. Personal vendettas seem to follow me around."

 

In a literal athlete sense, Rory McIlroy breaking off his engagement with Caroline Wozniaki was quite a breakup.

And while I don't remember a big public feud, Peyton Manning leaving the Colts was stunning to me. I know money/cap hit was a factor. Thought Manning was a Colt for life.
