Players on your own team that you never truly liked? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Big C · 09-26-2009, 12:30 AM

It's easy for us to hate certain players on teams that are rivals.

But for some of us, there have been players on our teams that we never truly embraced.

Can you ever recall any athletes who played on your team, but you never were truly able to embrace?

after the whole aftermath, Terrell Owens is the best example I can think up at the moment. it was the 2005 season, not his first and only full season with us, where we went to the SB. I am referring to the year following that.

I didn't like A.I. on and off for awhile, and I still don't hold him with high regards as a person & player. Aaron McKie as well.

That's it I think. Every other play from all my 4 teams I've ever loved, liked or were ok with, having them on the team.

LeBron James - there has always been something about him that's rubbed me the wrong way. I can't put my finger on it. The only other one I can think of is Albert Belle - but that should be obvious to any sports fan.

He's a sore loser, and a wuss. So what if that kid dunked on you? Besides the being dunked on footage (that one of his endorsement companies removed off of youtube and other websites), he can't accept a loss. after losing to Orlando in the Conference Finals this past year, he couldn't shake ANY of their hands, and walked off the court. What was worst is that he thought it was ok to do that. It's one thing to walk off the court emotional after the loss, but he never apologized or deemed it wrong that he did that. Some people will never get it, Monika.

I forgot about that snitch lol. I more so hated him since he's left the Phillies, but I didn't really like him towards the end of his Philly stint. So yeah, he is another one you could add to that list.

I was sick of him dating back to his high school days - in nearby Akron.

Eric Lindross and Ty Domi of the Leafs. I know people who know them personally and both personally and professionally these two are real major *******s. Thankfully they're both retired now.

Wreckless · 09-26-2009, 01:47 AM

When was Eric Lindros ever on Toronto? All I remember is Philly, NY and Dallas. But I can understand where those comments come from. He comes off as a crybaby but I still love him.

I think he came to Toronto at the end of his head-banging career (figures the Leafs would draft someone that was so rattled that the next hit ended his career too). He's from here originally and I know some people who knew him before he was even in the NHL and he treats females like absolute crap. Just couldn't warm up to him.

Darren J. · 09-26-2009, 01:59 AM

As mentioned earlier, Eric Lindros. He was a Ranger and I couldn't stand him. Always skating with his head down. Concussion waiting to happen.

Kevin Brown. One of the most overrated pitchers I have ever seen. I believe he was the first $100 million player.

Jim McIlvaine. Seattle gave him the money over Shawn Kemp and eventually got rid of him. As a Net, he was god awful. Second worst after Evan Eschmeyer.

Zach Randolph. Black hole of basketball. He treated the ball like a doughnut.

LOL wtf? You blame and hate him for that?

that is kinda messed up to say too. wasn't like it was his fault. scott stevens was cheap anyway. you blame lindros for getting concussions, yet you don't blame any of the guys that gave him concussions?

kasparitus was a b*tch.

Wreckless · 09-26-2009, 02:05 AM
