Guess I'll do the hard thing and limit my choices to one each:

Hockey:

Favorite: John MacLean...just like the Devils of the era he played in, he had to fight and claw for everything he got.

Least: Dale Hunter...one of many guys who've done disgraceful things, but his cheap shot on Pierre Turgeon after Turgeon scored was horrible. Such a flat-out dick move. Actually, on this one I'll make an exception: any a$$hole who ever seriously injured someone with a cheap shot, then whipped up some tears at a press conference to show us all what swell guys they really are.

Football:

Favorite: Tom Brady...with all he's done for the franchise how could he not be?

Least: Brett Favre...he's having a hell of a year in Minnesota, can't deny that, but he's done just as much to kill his teams over the years as he's done to help them. Durable as hell, but a bit of an overrated compiler.

Baseball:

Favorite: Doc Gooden, even though he did a hell of a lot to let his team down. Was so electrifying early on.

Least: Chipper Jones. No matter how he's playing, that fvcker always always ALWAYS kills the Mets.

I get that people hate the Cowboys. I get that people hate Romo. But how on earth can he be your least favorite player in football? Over.. Crayton? TO? Marion Barber? There are so many Cowboys worth hating, but why Romo? He's always classy, does more for charity than many non-profit organizations, never talks smack, always congratulates the winners... I just don't get how he's the worst?

He is a very classy person. He has skill which is why some people hate him.

All time: JJ Redick

Are you gonna buy his rap album?

I forgot boxing:

Favorite: Floyd Mayweather - I love his arrogance and I love that he backs it up.

Least: Ricky Hatton - OVER-RATED (clap, clap, clap) OVER-RATED (clap, clap, clap), Riddick Bowe, Antonio Tarver, Oscar de la Hoya, and that big Valuev bastard that shoulda lost this past weekend.

you're right i shouldn't hate him. if he was my favorite team's QB than i could have legit reasons to dislike him. as long as he's a cowboy, keep up the PGA tour dreams Romo!

Simple. He's a phony. You see class in his post-game interviews, I see someone concerned about saying the right thing.

Funny I always thought Romo's problem was that he's too mellow. He doesn't tell TO to go f-off after he basically cries conspiracy, and he sure didn't tell Roy Williams to take a hike after his nonsense remarks a few weeks back. Peyton and Brees are nice guys off the field but they'd get in someone's face for that kinda crap in a second.

Romo does get overrated because he's the Cowboy QB with the glamour that comes with it but it's not his fault...I don't remember him pulling a jack--- move the way Sanchez did yesterday, or eating the hot dog a couple weeks ago.
