Sports Jerk of the Year

[P. B. Walker]

Anyone follow the Tank McNamara comic strip? He runs a yearly sports year of the year contest. You can nominate your favorite sports personality to be the sports jerk of the year. They are still in the nomination stage, but voting should start soon.

I was wondering who people here would nominate. And give a reason why you think the person should be the sports jerk of the year.

Brett Favre- he's a good quarterback but he's a fucking baby. Everytime a game doesn't go his way he's a little bitch with a skinned knee.

Randy Moss.

Self-evident.

Try Rasheed Wallace who plays for the Portland Jailblazers...he didn't like the ref's call in the game the other night--so the hotheaded nimrod confronts the ref in the parking lot after the game. Result? NBA record 1 million dollar fine and a 7 game suspension. (He and Randy Moss should get together!) AA

Totally... if this guy isn't in the top 3, I'll be shocked.

Dallas Cowboy Dwayne Goodrich

Reason:
DALLAS (Reuters) - Dallas Cowboys (news) defensive back Dwayne Goodrich was released on bail on Wednesday after being charged with killing two men on a Dallas highway whom he allegedly struck with his car, police said.


Goodrich, a back-up defensive player, was charged with two counts of vehicular manslaughter for allegedly hitting the motorists with his BMW while driving possibly as fast as 100 mph early on Tuesday and then fleeing the scene, police said.


The dead men, Joseph Wood, 21, and Demont Matthews, 23, had stopped to help a motorist in a separate accident flee from a car that was on fire when they were struck and killed by a car that sped through the accident scene, police said.


Goodrich, a 24-year-old third-year player with the Cowboys, turned himself into police late on Tuesday and was freed on $50,000 bail, police said.

This contest is for 2002 only. but this definitely puts him in the running... even if it's for next years contest.

Sounds like all these guys should get together for a 'whine and use-your-head-for-a-hat-rack' party.

you're right, it occurred this past week so it wouldn't qualify. In that case, I nominate Terrell Owens.

You must nominate an individual -- ie the french judge at the heart of that scandal.

I think Randy Moss ns errel Owens have got to be top contenders, but there are just so many spoiled brats in professional sports that I can't choose just one.

 

[Thrillhouse]

I nominate the owner of the Minnesota Twins. I forget the prick's name.

He has more money than God, yet refuses to spend any on the team, and wants Minnesota taxpayers to build him new stadium to replace the less-than-twenty-year-old one he has now. He also conspired with Bud Selig to try to contract the team, which would result in a huge payout to him from MLB. The Twins having a great year kind of but the kibosh on that plan. He reminds me of the Indians' owner in "Major League," only not as attractive.

 

[SexySparkles]

Shaq. Just because he weighs 500 pounds or whatever, he can foul like a motherfucker. And he's not even descreet about it at all.

 

[ExLimey]

I agree with Weird Harold, there are too many to choose from. BUT, here are a couple that come to mind:

Have you seen those ESPN commercials with that real cocky PBA bowler? The guy who dresses in black and likes to point at his crotch? I nominate him. Dude, you're a professional bowler.

Tie Domi, Toronto Maple Leafs.

Brett Favre- he's a good quarterback but he's a fucking baby. Everytime a game doesn't go his way he's a little bitch with a skinned knee.

I'm not a football fan, but I do hear stuff. Doesn't he hold some kind of record for the most consecutive games played without missing a single one? He plays injured, when he probably shouldn't.

His name is Carl Pohlad,and he's a billioaire and he's older than dirt,he can barely walk.I guess he wan's to be buried with his money.....

 

[loveyamon]

Keeshawn Johnson get's my vote.I wish he would shut the hell up,what an ass.Overrated,overpayed,non-big play maker posession receiver in the league.

 

[*Eve*]

Warren Sapp, he gets sports jerk of the millenium

Martha Jerk....errrr..Burk

So true...so very true!

I'd nominate Moss too.

 

[loveyamon]

Warren Sapp, he gets sports jerk of the millenium

Good one EVE,that guy should shut his pie hole until he wins something!!

 

[sexyguy2]

1. Rashid Wallace

2. Terrell Owens

3. Tie Domi

4. Jeremy Roenisch(for the hits on Mike Modano and others )

5. Bill Romanowski

Dwayne Goodrich doesn't count. There's a difference between a jerk and someone who commits MANSLAUGHTER.

 

[crappie master]

Randy Moss is who I thought of as soon as I saw this thread title .

 

[Diablogrl]

Dwayne Goodrich doesn't count. There's a difference between a jerk and someone who commits MANSLAUGHTER.

It took him an entire day to turn himself in, once he found out that neither his agent, his lawyer, or his team could get him off. Then he requests and gets special attention from the PD to keep his information and pictures from the press for 48 hours. Pro players who think that the laws of this country don't apply to them are jerks, independent of the crimes they commit.

I will also cast my vote for Sapp and Owens.

 

[Freya]

Ti Domi? Whatever for? The only reason he is disliked is because he made a play which would be perfectly acceptable in the regular season, and gets shit because it's somehow not allowed in the playoffs.
