Crybabies in Sports - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

When Roger "The Rocket" played for the Red Sox, his nickname was 'The Crybaby'. He bitched and moaned about everything. They didn't treat his wife right in the stands, he didn't want to carry anything (luggage, etc.) on the road. Talented, without a doubt, but a real prima donna.

Moe "It ain't about the money" Vaughn, with the Sox. Always crying about money. He ended up playing in Las Angeles, got hurt in the first game and was never the same.

Carl Everett, another whinebag Sox player. Always complaining about umpires, and didn't get along with his fellow players. Just one big complaint machine. Good riddance when we ditched him.

Manny Ramirez. He's great now, but up until a few years ago, he was always complaining, saying he wanted to play for the Yankees, lol. He thought he could get more money than the Sox would pay him, so they called his bluff and put him on waivers. No takers. He has a much better attitude these days.

LaDainian Tomlinson. Somebody want to give this guy a box of tissues? He's crying all over TV, blaming everybody for his team's lousy season.

Any players or coaches that come to mind as crybabies?

And the Patriot's bashing continues, lol! Here in Boston, we laugh because Belichick never smiles at his post-game press conferences, even if the Pats won by 75 points. Looks like he's delivering a eulogy. I always ask my husband, what does it take to make this guy smile? Belichick's got a poker face. That's what you're seeing. The topic is Crybabies in Sports, as in whining in the media or pitching fits on the field.

Sure am, if that's your only contribution. I didn't cop an attitude, just called it as I saw it.

I don't think Janice was copping an attitude, You were bashing Belichick who is part of the Patriots and there was nothing wrong with her reply as far as I'm concerned.

Janice · 11-21-2007, 08:24 PM

John McEnroe. Biggest crybaby ever, combined with a vicious temper. Bad combination.

Right, I was even joking in my reply. Thanks.

What was he crying about? I just asked my husband, and he can't remember.

I'm telling you, the guy never smiles. It's a running joke here.

The referee not calling a foul

A Crybabies in Sports thread would never be complete without Ryan Leaf.

And how about Latrell "I can't feed my family on 7 million per year" Sprewell.

Brian Damage · 11-21-2007, 08:45 PM

Gary Sheffield comes to mind. He was and still is bitching about money and how he isn't paid enough.

Milton Bradley is another biotch. Always bitching and moaning about something.

If that's the only reason then you might as well have 'Crybaby' stitched onto the jersey of practically every other NBA player because I'm sure he's not the only one guilty of that.

GARFIELDKOOL · 11-21-2007, 09:13 PM

Former NBA player Derrick Coleman. With the most minor injury he had, he wouldn't suit up for a game. He always was on the bench in a suit when whatever team he played for needed him.
