RW, I gotta give it to you on my omission of BK. You owned that one.

Now, who do I omit?

Dan “curly haired boyfriend” Shaunessey, Billy Tubbs, Lefty “‘I hope to die if this kid ever used drugs before’ – but hey, you guys clean up the cocaine before you call 911″ Driessell, Dennis Rodman, Bill Laimbeer, Rick Mahorn, John McEnroe (I loved to watch him play, though), Larry “I’ll leave after winning the championship, and you guys can thank me later for all the NCAA infractions” Brown, Stever Berthiaume (ESPN anchor & Celtics fan who consistently went after Rick Pitino for drafting Chauncey Billips as the 3rd pick way-back-when….well, in retrospect, it sure seems like Pitino knew what he was doing when looking for a point guard for the future, eh?

I could go on and on and on.

But, I’m going to point out the most glaring omission. Love him or hate him, and no one can deny that he’s one of the BEST in the history of the sport, but one of the biggest Richard’s is Robert Montgomery Knight. I’ve heard that if you’re his friend, he’s the most caring and friendly people in the world, but when he was coaching IU it was hard to come across a bigger p**ck.

Although, he seems like an amiable bloke doing ESPN nowadays.

You know, I thought about adding the Steinbrenner family…but I had to be somewhat honest. I wished they owned and ran the Braves.

They are basically “Richards” when it comes to supporting HOF managers like Joe Torre. He left and whats he done since then? Oh yeah, only managing the team with the best record in all of baseball.

I completely forgot about O.J…but I was also thinking in the context of the sports world. O.J. was actually a likeable guy until he…well.

I dont understand some of the names in the column. Lance Armstrong? Brett Favre?

Guess I’ll stick with my own list, lol.

Dickipedia has a section on sports figures that might qualify. You may wish to consult with it.

If only Vick had killed a human, like Donte Stallworth, his time in prison would’ve been cut dramatically (but, adding in fines & loss of license and paying off the family). We live in a crazy world.

I love dogs…the wuff wuff kind

My experience with you, it’s the “yip yip” kind… but point taken. I agree with your number one pick fer sure.
