Sorry for the sucky one

Yeah, the quick one I posted earlier today sucked, so I thought I'd come out with a nice bigger one. So, while I'm watching the Superman animated tv show, I'll write a good one and try to stop sucking at this, ha ha. Sorry if I feel like a downer, but the Mets have lost 4 in a row and they should have won all 4 games. It's absolutely pathetic and made me pissed off. So, while I'm pissed off I'll answer Perrotti's question, it should be interesting.

But, first off I'll answer Rob's. I don't have a psp. I don't know, I had a game boy and then a game gear but I was never really satisfied with either of them. Sorry, but the screen is too small and the games are kinda limited. I guess the psp is kinda cool(my roommate has one) 'cause you can put movies on them, but I don't know if I'd actually buy one. I do LOVE M. Knight Shyamalan movies and personally I don't think the Sixth Sense was his best movie. Personally I think unbreakable was his best movie. And signs was my second favorite. The village was good and Lady in the Water was okay, not his best work. His next movie looks really good. The one thing I'm waiting for is to see how he does with a R rated movie because all of his movies have been pg-13. I like his style because I don't really know anyone else who makes a movie like he does. Personally I think you either like his movies or hate them. (One a side note, one of the meanest things I ever did was make my sister and her friend watch unbreakable right before they were about to take a train ride back to Philly. He he).

Also on a side note, I kinda messed up my list of man crushes(I like this the best, sorry jimmy p). I should have done an all time list. Here is the list of what mine are of all time
1. Darryl Strawberry
2. Patrick Ewing
3. David Wright
4. Mike Piazza
5. Rick Mirer(in college)
6. Brady Quinn
7. Dwight Gooden
8. Curtis Joseph
9. Brett Hull
10. Charles Oakley

So, here we go on my list of the top 10 players of all time that I hate the most.

#1. Roger Clemens - If you were going to rate how much I hate a player on a scale of 1 to 100 Clemens is a 2000. I've never hated a player more than this douche bag. Honestly, if you're a fan of the Red Sox, Blue Jays, Yankees, or Astros you can NOT like this guy. Honestly, just look at what he does. In Boston he got pissed off at management, tanked two seasons went to the Blue Jays. With the Blue Jays kicked ass then went to the Yankees. After with the Yankees told everyone he was going to retire. Instead he waited for the Astros and Yankees to bid on his services, told the teams that he didn't want to go on the road and would only pitch at home. Did this for the next 3 years. Not only that but the guy threw at Piazza's head and then in the playoffs intentionally threw a broken bat at Piazza. He did it on purpose because we all know he was on a roid rage during that game. Nothing made me happier than everyone knowing that Clemens likes to take himself out of big games, being named in the Mitchell report, having his life torn apart and showing everyone what an asshole and bully he really is. Now that everyone knows that he took steroids to win his last few Cy Young awards, I can die happily.

#2. Reggie Miller - I'm a former Knick fan and even though I don't watch or like the NBA anymore, I can't help but still have pain in my heart from what he did to us. On a scale of 1 to 100 on the hate-o-meter I give him a 99 because of what he did to us and how he did it, with that whole choke signal and everything.

#3. Tom Brady - You'll here it first here. Most Overrated QB Ever! Absolutely overrated. In fact, the Patriots put together the worst "dynasty" if you want to call it that. I'm sorry, but if you can't beat any team by more than 3 points and all three games go down to the wire, not a dynasty. Also, if not for a freak injury and the bs tuck rule, we don't know who Tom Brady is. Plain and simple. He scores a 98 on the hate-o-meter

#4. Bill Belicheck - I don't know how to spell his last name and I don't care. This guy is a complete jerk. Nothing was better than him running up the score in the beginning of last season and then the gmen shutting them down in the superbowl. He gets a 97.5 on the hate-o-meter.

#5. Derek Jeter - Mr. Perfect whom everyone looks over the fact that he hasn't been clutch since 2003. I just think it's funny how with most people it's what have you done for me lately, but with him it's okay, I know what you already did for me. Have of my hatred is the fact that he was sooo good and the other half is because of his list of girls that he's dated. Unfair. A total score of a 94 on the hate-o-meter.

#6. Maurice Clarrett - He is the reason why I hate Ohio State. He had one good year, then sucked in the championship, got smacked around by the Miami Defense and then all of a sudden he thinks he can sue to get into the NFL? I don't think so. He's gotten everything that he's deserved. Have fun in jail buddy-o. 93 ranking on the hate-o-meter.

#7. Stevey Yzerman & Sergie Federov - There were sooooo many countless games that these guys ruined for me because they would always beat the Blues. I can still see the goal in slow-mo that Yzerman scored to knock us out of the playoffs in game 7 in o.t. I think I just shed a tear. 92 on the hate-o-meter.

#8. Tom Glavine - Honestly, his name should be Judas. I will forever call him by that name. Nothing else. I wonder how long it took him to put on that Braves uniform after the last game of the season? Was he wearing it all of the last game? It wouldn't surprise me whatsoever. It probably wasn't too painfull for him because he knew he was just going to go back to Atlanta. He got his 300th win and that's all that mattered. FU Glavine. 91 on the hate-o-meter.

#9. Chipper Jones - No one would come up bigger at Shea Stadium than Chipper. In fact, the jerk named his boy after him. I hope he becomes a Met. I always hated when Chipper would play because I knew that he would do something big. And he usually did. I always hoped that in a big spot we could just walk him and pitch to the next guy. Hate-o-meter score is a 90.

#10. Rodney Harrison - I didn't start hating him until he became a Patriot and then he seemed to become a cheap player. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't happy when he got injured. And then when he got busted using 'roids. We all knew he was using, it was just a matter of time. This one is a score of a 89.5 on the hate-o-meter.

Honorable mentions: Mike Martz, Reggie Bush, Troy Smith, AJ Hawk, Brendan Shanahan, Aaron Heilman, Steve Phillips.

Haha, I noticed Aaron Heilman on your honorable mention list... that's pretty sad man, because I assume the only reason he's on there is because of the awful first half he's having this year.

Good list and I think it's funny that you gave Clemens a 2000 out of 100 (though I agree with you, he's a huge asshole).

Roger Kuhrt said...

Oh no, Aaron Heilman has been on the list since 2006 when he gave up the home run in game 7 of the nlcs. Then he sucked at the end of last year. And he's sucked so far this year.

I don't know how you can hate Jeter and Stevie Y. Jeter is teflon, because he never ever says anything. He's like Michael Jordan. They talk to the press all the time, but they never say a thing. It's always the same crap, and it's brilliant. He attracts no controversy. When he had that slump a few years back, he did get booed. That's pretty much it. He plays the right way, says the right things, and has enough rings to keep us happy.

Yzerman was also a great, blue collar hard nosed player. I am not a Red Wings fan by any stretch. I picked the Penguins to win the cup (and I owe a co-worker lunch because of it), but i have notheing but respect for the way he played the game.

I guess I have a hard time hating people just for preventing the success of my favorite teams. there has to be more to it than that. That's why I understand the rest of your picks. Reggie and the whole choke thing, Clemens and all his nonsense, All of those Patriots for their arrogance and pride, and even Chipper Jones has made some dumb comments in the press.

I just have a hard time finding anything solid to not like about Jeter and Yzerman.

Roger Kuhrt said...

Yeah, with Jeter & Stevie Y it's all about the performance. I just hate the way that they would come through. It would drive me insane. Also, with Jeter it's also envy because of who he is and who he's dated. Also, I think the press has backed off of Jeter because of what he did in the past, which he probably deserves. If there's a game and Jeter and A-rod don't come through, the press will be all over A-rod for not getting the big hit but will leave Jeter alone.

Oh, one more person I forgot to put on the honorable mention list and maybe should be on the list is John Rocker. I can't believe I forgot to put him on there.

Since I asked for this list, I figured that I should make one myself. However, before we get into the list, I need to comment on Roger's list. As for Jeter, it's hard to say what have you done for me lately when he's won championships and his team makes the playoffs every year. What has David Wright and Beltran done for me lately? Also, the comparison to Michael Jordan is a good one because he rarely makes controversial comments. Anyway, here's my list:

1. Peter Karmanos - Yes I am still bitter. He never wanted to stay in Connecticut. Gary Bettman and Karmanos had a deal to move out as soon as they could.

2. Bill Belichick - I really just hate his attitude. He got caught and really didn't care. It's amazing what cheating can do for a mediocre coach.

3. Manny Ramirez - Talk about a free pass. I've had enough of "Manny being Manny." That saying let's him stand at home plate and watch home runs, play lackadaisical defense, and not run out grounders just to name a few things.

4. Barry Bonds - This is pretty self explanatory. If he came out and said he was wrong for using steroids, I would have a lot more respect for him. We are not idiots, your head doesn't grow that big naturally.

5. Tom Brady - I'm not going to say he doesn't have any talent, but he couldn't beat out Drew Henson at Michigan. I guess it really does help to know what the defense is.

6. Bob Kraft - No one ever seems to remember how he jerked around Connecticut by saying they had a shot at getting the Patriots and then pulling out. Just think how different this list might have been if they actually moved to CT.

7. Eddie Johnston - Former Whalers GM that traded Ron Francis and Ulf Samuelsson to Penguins for John Cullen, Zarley Zalapski. This was one of the worse trades in NHL history. It was even more convenient that the next year he was the head coach of the Penguins.

8. Pedro Martinez - It's funny how quick people forget how much of a jerk he was. He beaned everyone on the Yankees. He said he was going to throw at Posada's head. He threw Zimmer to the ground.

9. Terrel Owens - Throwing your teammates under the bus is a great quality to have. From calling Jeff Garcia gay to the whole McNabb thing followed by doing sit ups in his driveway, this guy is a joke.

10. Curt Shilling - Is there any athlete ever that answered more questions that no one asked him? He writes stuff up in a ridiculous blog that no one reads (similar to Roger's).

Honorable mention list: Brendan Shanahan, John Cullen, Zarley Zalapski, Paul Coffey, Chris Webber, Iverson, Rodney Harrison, the guy from the Bowling Alley that tried to jip me out of my change.

Terrible lists. I think it's funny how NY fans hate everyone in Boston, and vice versa (except Mets fans, we generally hate people from both cities). It's purely a sign of respect. Every Boston fan respects Jeter's and Gay-Rod's abilities, and every NY fan respects Manny's and Brady's abilities. If they swapped teams I know things would be different, just how every Yankee fan hated Damon until he came over to them. Now there are no issues with him. How easily we forget.

And don't get me started with Bonds. Yeah the guy is a prick to fans and media, but he's the scapegoat in the whole steroids issue. Until Clemens, Giambi, McGwire, Palmeiro, etc. are treated like Bonds, I will remain on his side. Of course he's not gonna come out and say he used them. They're illegal. Would OJ come out and say he murdered his wife if he knew he'd get jailtime, and knew he could get good enough lawyers to keep him out of trouble? I think you you know the answer to that.

And Jeter may be like Jordan in his dealings with the media, but not in terms of skill. The guy wins games and championships, but isn't the most talented player of all time in his sport. Not even in the discussion. Plus he has a few more teamates helping him than Jordan did.

Roger Kuhrt said...

Technically Malone, OJ can't be retried for the murders because of double jeopardy. He was also found guilty in the civil court and had to pay his ex-wife's family like 30 mil or something like that for her murder. Just thought I'd put those notes in there.

Unknown said...

Well Malone, I think Clemens has been getting the "Bonds" treatment lately. That guy got destroyed in the media for a long time after the Mitchell Report. You still hear about him. This last week it came out that he used Viagra to enhance his performance. That's not a low blow. Giambi did apologized for doing "that stuff" so at least that's something. Everyone knew what he was talking about. Also, he hears steroids chants in every visiting stadium. McGwire and Palmerio may not have gotten as much flack, but that's because they have gone in hiding. Not only that, but they both probably won't make the Hall of Fame now. I do agree with you to an extent however because Bonds does get it the worse, but he really was a jerk to the media his whole career so what does he expect.

Unknown said...

I have to respect Malone for throwing out the OJ reference when it really was not pertinent.

OJ came out with a book called "If I Did It" tell me that's not a confession.

Unknown said...

You know OJ was a great reference. Bonds isn't confessing to an obvious crime he committed because he knows he can get out of it due to our crappy legal system. Try telling me I'm wrong about that.

Unknown said...

Congrats Malone, you have pinpointed what's wrong with society. Deny everything no matter what or blame someone else for your mistakes.
