1. Where's other?

I can think of at least one NFL team and one MLB team that belong on that poll!

3. Man Utd

Although, hats off to Federico Macheda for that shockingly good goal Sunday. Still, a balls annoying franchise.

I may be a lot of things sir--including woefully uninformed about things that should be common knowledge, sir, but I bristle at the term "ingorant!"

19. Hot damn, someone else around here saw that!

17 years old. Gets a friggin yellow card for leaving the pitch to celebrate with his family.

Fucking magical!

Even I was happy at that and I HAAAAATE ManUre.

27. Aston Villa really deserved to win that game.

They outplayed them every minute of the entire first half. I hate Ronaldo anyway, that cock. I'd have been happy with a 2-2 tie and an even points result with Liverpool to give him his first goal, even if it continues to hurt my Chelsea.

30. I agree, Villa were the better team....

.....I thought Milner and Carew in particular were outstanding. I'd imagine if they lived til they were 200 they wouldn't figure out how they lost :-).

I'm one of those strange creatures, a United devotee who despises Ronaldo - he's talented, but he's a loathsome cheat who has no loyalty to the club, only himself. I would give anything for them to sell him to Madrid.

You're a Chelsea fan?

:wow:

I forgive you.

42. Give him two more healthy seasons, then hand the crown to Lukas Podolski

Actually, give him anyone other than Klinsmann and he'd be contending now.

Steven Gerrard is amazing to watch what he can create on the pitch.

that Liverpool should have the goal nets strung with wire:) All this drama could have been avoided if Dossena would have kept shaving his head as his hair pushed the ball wide.

way Packer fans always looked so shocked to find out not every single person on the planet just loooooooves their cute little team. I know it is hard for them to accept, but their rival teams have fans that cheer for them too. :)

since it's inception in 1969 and could barely draw 4,000 people to a game.

21. Right now? The Tampa Bay Rays.

Nothing to do with the players, rather the audacity of them wanting a NEW waterfront stadium to play in. The Trop is only 20 years old. And you'll NEVER convince me that anyone in Tampa is going to want to sit in 100 heat in the sun, when it rains every day on top of that RATHER than an air conditioned dome. Idiots.

45. I don't know if anyone here hangs out at tshirthell.com

but they have a baby t-shirt that reads "I can't even walk yet, and I already hate the Yankees". They need to have one that reads "The Cowboys".

Is there ANYTHING more obnoxious than the Cowboys? Obviously, the Patriots are a very close second, but sheeeesh. The sports reporters act like Romo is God, despite the fact he can't quarterback his way out of a paper bag. We are treated to "Cowboys can still make the playoffs!!!!!!!" when they've been mathematically eliminated a month before.

I hate them! :eyes:

well, one I can probably figure out, but who else?? In order to be obnoxious, you must first win something, anything at all, so that your fans may demonstrate their inherent obnoxiosity.

Needless to say, the jury's still out on the Nats...

47. The only teams that can compete with the Dallas Cowpies for overrated douchebaggery

Are the NY Yankmees in baseball, and the LA Fakers of the NBA.

And in college football, ANY team from Florida. Every last one of them, over rated and usually over ranked in the polls.

Edited on Mon Apr-06-09 08:27 PM by old mark

where even their retired players suck. Especially the former QB who calls the Eagles games, Cowboy Troy. He spent so much time on his back in that old stadium the Eagles D thought he was a hooker.
Even their old coaches suck. Jimmie the hair god. A real inspration.
