View Full Version : Biggest Crybabies in Sports
catlover79 09-21-2008, 08:56 PM Gary Sheffield was spouting off in the press against Fausto Carmona and Victor Martinez in the Indians/Tiger series following Friday night's brawl in Cleveland. Why would Carmona hit Sheffield on purpose? The Indians were losing the game at that point!
Other crybabies:
Terrell Owens
Milton Bradley
Mike Tyson
Paul O'Neill
Who do you think are the biggest crybabies in sports? Not just athletes, but also coaches, managers, agents, etc.
Wreckless 09-21-2008, 08:59 PM Terrell Owens, Any Mets player...
catlover79 09-21-2008, 09:13 PM You know, I never realized how scary-looking Gary Sheffield really is until I saw the video of the brawl (I'd missed the game). :eek:
catlover79 09-21-2008, 09:57 PM How could I've forgotten to add Barry Bonds?? :crybaby:
Others:
Bobby Knight
John McEnroe
Roger Clemens
Tonya Harding
Lou Piniella
Jeff Kent
Wreckless 09-21-2008, 10:12 PM I don't think Jeff Kent is a crybaby lol but I guess he's on the fence as far as that goes...
catlover79 09-21-2008, 10:16 PM I don't think Jeff Kent is a crybaby lol but I guess he's on the fence as far as that goes...
I've seen him whining several times on TV...a few times while he played with the Indians back in 1996. :lol:
Wreckless 09-21-2008, 10:19 PM I forgot about him on the Indians lol. Alright, you are right. I always picture his fights with Bonds lol. I'd put Manny Ramirez on the list, he just seems like a crybaby player that wants his way or no way. He wouldn't cut his hair and Torre had to deal with it, not Manny having to deal with Torre not liking it, it was backwards lol.
Wreckless 09-21-2008, 10:20 PM Add Allen Iverson. Practice? We talkin bout practice. It's practice.

He wouldn't cut his hair and Torre had to deal with it, not Manny having to deal with Torre not liking it, it was backwards lol.
Manny was always very quiet when he played with the Indians. Then he started to become a lot more vocal (usually whining) with Boston and now LA. Yes, Allen Iverson is a crybaby, too - and so is LeBron James. He may play for my hometown, but his attitude has always rubbed me the wrong way - going back to his high school days.
Wreckless 09-21-2008, 10:24 PM Yeah I was sort of thinking of Lebron too. Paul Pierce, I'm going to say he's a crybaby and cocky at the same time. He thought he was the best player ever just because they won a ring, when they could barely beat Cleveland and Atlanta of all teams lol.
Wreckless 09-21-2008, 10:24 PM Paul Lo Duca, he complains more then most baseball players I know. David Wright is the same way, along with Reyes.
catlover79 09-21-2008, 10:26 PM ^ Here's the Indians/Tigers brawl that took place here in Cleveland the other night:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPbPcOFMdns&feature=related
Notice Gary Sheffield's bloody nose!!! :eek: He was booed soundly by the Cleveland crowds the remainder of the series every time he came up to bat. :rofl:
Wreckless 09-21-2008, 10:27 PM Yeah I saw that. He got chippy with my man Fausto Carmona.
catlover79 09-21-2008, 10:30 PM Yeah I saw that. He got chippy with my man Fausto Carmona.
It'll be interesting to see what sort of punishments are handed down - probably won't take effect until the beginning of next season. Even longer, if the players decide to appeal (which they probably will). OY!!!! :eek:
catlover79 09-21-2008, 11:05 PM Is it just me, or does Gary Sheffield resemble Redd Foxx?
Schmoopie 09-21-2008, 11:42 PM Is it just me, or does Gary Sheffield resemble Redd Foxx?
Yeah, he does! Especially in the eyes! :eek:

How in the Blue Hell is Paul O'Neill is a cry baby
70s show watcher 09-22-2008, 02:01 AM larry brown that man whines more than anyone in sports or anyone ive ever seen period
Wreckless 09-22-2008, 09:22 AM :lol: :lol:
catlover79 09-22-2008, 01:25 PM How in the Blue Hell is Paul O'Neill is a cry baby
I just remember seeing him in interviews where he would be complaining and whining about something or other. That was years ago, so I can't remember any particulars.
Here's another to add to the crybaby list - Jose Mesa, after leaving the Indians. He ripped Omar Vizquel up one side and down the other after Omar's book came out a few years ago. He also made sure to hit him every time Omar came up to bat. :eek: It was a pretty ugly situation.
Wreckless 09-22-2008, 02:02 PM Yeah I remember that :lol:. What did Vizquel say about him that's so bad? lol. This isn't a player but Jim Mora is another. He wouldn't shut up about Michael Vick when his son was coaching the Falcons a couple years back. The whole playoffs thing, while it is funny, is stupid, annoying and childish. He has said or done a couple other things, mostly in his press conferences that were on the same playing field.

He said that Jose Mesa's eyes were "vacant" or something to that effect when he blew the save that cost Cleveland the 1997 World Series. (I was watching that game on TV - his eyes WERE vacant). Then Mesa would always make it a point to hit (or attempt to hit) Omar every time they faced each other. What a whiner. :crybaby:
MrCleveland 09-22-2008, 03:49 PM Cleveland Sports Teams.
"There's always next year" my ass!:mad:
Wreckless 09-22-2008, 05:09 PM Sorry but I agree. When the Cavs got to the finals, they were all glorified. The Spurs were a great team. When the 76ers went to the finals in 2000 vs. the Lakers, I wanted to win it. Well I wanted the Sixers to but you know what I mean. Philly, Chicago and Cleveland need to win in the next three years. Forget New York and Boston for once. Tampa Bay is getting in on the act in baseball.

Yeah I remember him hitting him :lol: . That's not even that bad to say. If somebody said my eyes were vacant, I'd say, ok? lol. It's not like your calling them a horrible player or something even worst to that extent.
Wreckless 09-22-2008, 05:12 PM We should transform this thread into people in sports we don't like :lol:.
Kobe Bryant is another whiner/crybaby. He cries after every call on him, same with Iverson.

Yeah, I forgot about Kobe. You're right on the money. I'm surprised Solomon hasn't added to this thread. :rofl:

T.O.? He's just misunderstood. He just loves himself and thinks everyone else should too. :D :lol:
catlover79 09-22-2008, 10:58 PM T.O.? He's just misunderstood. He just loves himself and thinks everyone else should too. :D :lol:
Yes, my heart bleeds for him. *cue the violins* ;) :rofl:
Wreckless 09-23-2008, 08:46 AM Pahlease lol Don't even go there with T.O. he's one of the top guys on that list, That's my Quarterback!!
Mikado 09-23-2008, 03:55 PM On the hockey front, there was 3 superstars that easily come to mind
Wayne (yes i tripped you, but, dont trip me back cause youll get the penalty) Gretzky
Eric (I want to play only where I want to go) Lindross
and worst of all, Brett (No one passes me the puck... I'm the star, so kiss my butt) Hull
Thankfully, all three are retired now, and i no longer need to hear them whining

Well if the Indians were losing at the time that is why Sheffeild was hit on purpose
browneyes106 09-24-2008, 01:20 AM Terrell Owens and Kobe Bryant
catlover79 09-24-2008, 02:02 PM Well if the Indians were losing at the time that is why Sheffeild was hit on purpose
Yeah, but they were only down by 2 runs in the 7th inning. That's a situation where as a pitcher you especially don't want to get a runner on base. That's just my opinion. :lol:

I agree with you but it sounds like you don't like those players on top of it lol. Lindros and his father were definitely crybabies and the father particularly needed to keep his mouth shut :lol:. Wayne was a crybaby because he was so used to getting his way, that he thought he could get it through the refs s well. While we're mentioning hockey, Sidney Crosbey, not just in hockey, is one of the biggest crybabies in sports, maybe ever. Mark me on that one :lol:. The Flyers see him a good amount each year, and he's an annoying little piss lol..on top of being a crybaby little kid.
Wreckless 09-24-2008, 02:39 PM And Sheffield just attracts trouble to himself...
catlover79 09-24-2008, 03:55 PM And Sheffield just attracts trouble to himself...
This is just one of many brawls he's gotten suspended for. Asdrubal Cabrera of the Indians also got suspended, in case you hadn't heard.
catlover79 01-26-2010, 01:29 AM I think we can probably add Brett Farve to this list. :eek: :eek: :eek:
