So I like sports, pretty much all sports. Sports contain athletes, athletes are real people, and some people are out-right loopy. Hence, a list of my favorite whacky-athletes and a little bit of why I love these guys.
1. Terrell "I hate my QB" Owens - Probably the most retarded W.R. in the NFL. Gotta love a teammate who bashes your quarterback and whines when his team doesn't throw a parade for his 100th TD. He has an autobiography that he has never read and has the most ridiculous TD dances. And when explaining what he would do with his 1 week suspension, "I'm going to the Bahamas. I'm going to get a tan." This man is pure entertainment
2. Latrell "Gotta feed my family" Sprewell - One quote by this former NBA superstar should explain all. In an interview, he was being questioned on why he was holding out and demanding an impressive contract extension to go along with his $14.6 million contracnt he replied, "Why would I want to help them win a title?" They're not doing anything for me. I'm at risk. I have a lot of risk here. I got my family to feed." Makes you wonder, what the heck does he feed his family?
3. Floyd "Do you want another excuse?" Landis - I don't know if he took steriods, and I don't really care. But come on, he got a little carried away on why he thought he failed the pee-test. I mean, lets not think out loud here. He stated that it was from the whiskey he enjoyed before the race, that he just has incredibly large amounts of (i guess synthetic) testosterone that occurs naturally in his organism, dehydration=steriods, and he claims that there are 100's of other reasons of why he didn't purposefully take steroids. Let's not forget that this man is Mennonite, the most elite group of people who do not need steriods to completely destroy at any sport. (Landis has a daughter, named Ryan....)
4. Shaquille "Diesel" Oneal - Gotta love a guy who is 7 feet, 340 pounds, and loves to make fun of his opponents. Not only does he roll around on camera-men and attempts to pull the whole net down every dunk, but he loves to play with the media. He made fun of Kobe, he has a cell-phone (and video camera) in his all-star game shoes, and he calls Erick Dampier "Ericka" and insists he should be playing in the WNBA. Pure class.
5. Rocky "No Teeth" Thompson - Who remembers this fury of wrath that graced the ice of Calgary while they were, ummm, "re-building". He couldn't really skate, but he would fight anyone and everyone in his twelve game stint with the flames one season, he tallyed 9 fights and numerous penalties. They probably didn't even need to give him a stick because he couldn't use it, unless he needed to slash somebody, or attempt a "McSorley". This man was a true Flame, and exactly what that organization needed to rebuild into the elite, offensiveless team they are today that only rely on there goalie to win games.

I definitely forgot about Zidane, that move was epic. Mike Danton, thats a bit too far for me. Tyson should be on the list, I agree. I also leftout Ron "Gotta focus on my rap career and beating up fans" Artest. Who else did I miss? Barry "I own a Steroids Company but don't take any" Bonds
