In light of Mike Piazza’s ridiculous accusations in his book, that legendary broadcaster Vin Scully somehow turned Dodgers fans against him, it made us think of a line from The Departed. “There are guys you can hit and guys you can’t. Now that’s not a quite guy you can’t hit … but it’s a guy you almost can’t hit.” Going after Scully is like going after The Godfather. He doesn’t need to...

  There have been tons of villains in sports and fans are inherently going to dislike a few. But I don’t think I’ve ever outright hated an athlete more than I hated Doug Christie. It was all of his histrionics drawn out even more so by playing on a team full of prima donnas who never won anything. Vlade flopped. Webber always complained. Peja was soft.

It started when he killed two people in Irvine – one of whom was an assistant coach for Cal State Fullerton’s women’s basketball team – and then tried to escape to Mexico via a stolen boat.

Chris Culliver showed a severe form of homophobia, made anti-gay remarks and then played a horrendous game as Joe Flacco consistently picked on him. Culliver is as much to blame for the 49ers loss as any one player. Barret Robbins took off two days before the Super Bowl to party in Tijuana. He...
