Athletes and Celebrities I HATE

Good morning everyone. Happy Friday, today I wanted to go over a list of athletes and celebrities I really, really, really hate. It could be for several reasons why I hate them, they might have hurt one of my favorite players, they might have been really close to signing with one of my favorite teams and gone somewhere else last minute, they have cost me a ton of money on a game, or they might just flat out be a douche. I think I might just feature a handful of people/teams/movies every Friday. There is just too much hatred for just one blog.

Shaquille O'Neal

Is it just me or is that every time I hear him speak, I feel like I get just a little dumber? plus he thinks he is really funnny. What he doesn't get though is that people are laughing at him not with him. Shaq also broke locker room code when he came out and outed fellow teammate Kobe Bryant about his infidelity. Shaq got what he deserved because his wife left him and he writes a big fat check to her every month. Bottom line: I hope Shaq fails miserably in Cleveland and Lebron goes to a bigger market team like the Knicks.

Brett Favre

Do I even really need to get into this one? Don't get me wrong, I have seen Favre win some good games, but the guy has ZERO class. The guy comes out and says he is addicted to painkillers (the NFL is a painful job and you aren't the only one, wanna trade paychecks?), He talks about retirement every year and then ends up playing last minute. He is done this every year since 2002. The Packers used a first round pick on Aaron Rodgers who would have been a star in this league a long time ago had he he not had to wait behind Favre for so long. The worst part is everyone seemed to care about his "will he or won't he retire to talk." I couldn't watch ESPN for more then 5 minutes without seeing a piece on "the latest about Brett Favre." Nothing makes me happier in this life then watching Brett Favre do something to lose the game for his team. The back to back interception and fumble 2 weeks ago against the Steelers was hilarious. Stop playing Brett please.

Dane Cook

Ok, so I want to know.....who told this guy he was funny? This guy is such a no talent hack yet teenage girls love him so he sells out Madison Square Garden 2 nights in a row. I think I would rather stick needles in my crotch then ever watch his stand-up in person.

"Do you ever notice when you are having sex with a girl and you start talking in 'ol English?"

Um. No Dane, no I haven't.

The true mark of a good stand up comedian is whether you can listen to his stand up without any visual and still laugh. Dane, walks up and down the stage for an hour making pathetic observations that no one gets but still gets girls to laugh because he is a good looking dude.

If you want to see/hear some real stand up you need to check out the greats like Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, and Dennis Leary. Those guys always seem to make me laugh.

I once went on a work trip to Pittsburgh to see the Caps vs. Pens and Dane was staying in the same hotel as us. Needless to say after we lost, I went on an alcohol/stripper fueled tyraid and waited in the hotel lobby for 15 minutes waiting for Dane Cook's arrival. Wasn't sure what I was going to do if I saw him, but it wouldn't have been good for him. I mean even his own brother stole him from. Bottom Line: Dane Cook sucks.

Tonight you can catch me at Kilroys for Brett's Mom's bday party then heading to Blackfinn in DC and/or Arlington. Hit me up if you want to come. Until then.
