#9  My nomination:

Michigan head football coach Rich Rodriguez for his incredibly dumb comment about Michigan football players just before Ohio State kicked their collective asses in Flint.

I got $20 that sez following Michigan's third consecutive loss of the 2009-2010 season, Rodriguez will be sent packing.

Any takers?

I didn't think so.

#8  > Do any of you know ANY heterosexual man who would rub another man's testicles, liniment or not?

#6  "Then Donahue would rub the hottest possible liniment on (Clemens') testicles."

Good grief. That's far more information than I want to know.

Clemens couldn't do the rubbing himself?

Do any of you know ANY heterosexual man who would rub another man's testicles, liniment or not? (Outside of some kind of actual medical procedure, though I can't think of any that involves rubbing the testicles.)

Now I gotta go scrub my mind's eye with Brillo....

#5  Hochuli? I thought he at least apologized for his mess-up and took it on the chin like a man, not so?

#4  In today's Australian papers, there is video of footballer Setanta O'Hailpin knocking out a teammate in a practice match, and then kicking him as he is lying face down on the ground. Now that is special.
It's been a vintage year. They all are, I guess.

#3  Speaking of Clemens...from Joe Torre's book.

After reading the following passage about Clemens' pregame ritual following a steaming hot whirlpool bath, though, I simply cannot help sharing it.

"He'd come out looking like a lobster," Yankee trainer Steve Donahue said.

Then Donahue would rub the hottest possible liniment on (Clemens') testicles.

"He'd start snorting like a bull," the trainer said. "That's when he was ready to pitch."


So now we know why he was considered a "fire balling right hander".

#2  Lane Kiffin, for calling Urban Meyer a cheat without knowing that it is not a violation of NCAA rules to make a telephone contact of a recruit while he/she is visiting another campus. Right out the box he showed what a stupid ass he is - insulting the National Championship team's coach. And yes under full disclosure I am a proud member of the Gator nation.

#1  Too hard to winnow the list. Now if it was the top 1000 maybe we could start.

Clemens, Manny, Plaxico, Hochuli, Barry, etc.
