Football 50 Most Hated Player in NFL History?

For the most part this should be the 50 most hated players of the past 25 years, but it's still a decent list. Great call on including all of the draft cheaters, who in my opinion should be the top four villains on the list: John Elway, Kelly Stouffer, Bo Jackson, and Eli Manning.

The author is obviously too young to remember evil people like Lester Hayes, Howie Long, Lyle Alzado, Todd Christensen, Fred Biletnikoff, and Matt Millen. (Wow, all Raiders - that wasn't even intentional.) Also, Junior Seau, Shannon Sharpe (how'd they miss him?), and Ed McCaffrey should be on this list. I could even see former Chief Andre Rison being on this list. Others worthy of consideration would be Hollywood Henderson, Mark Gastineau, Brian Bosworth, Ricky Watters, Chuck Bednarik, Ray Lewis (or was he on the list?), and Thurman Thomas.

I found Paul Palmer to be a surprising inclusion. I didn't remember the fumble threat and just thought of him as your everyday 1st-round bust.

Edit: "Players" in the title, not "Player". There is more than one in a list of 50. I apologize to anyone who was confused by the misleading title.

Ray Lewis is on the list, doesn't make much sense to me.

Because he killed someone?

And because he has the biggest ego this side of Terrell Owens? And because he does that stupid girly dance thing before games? And because he thinks he's all great when Willie Lanier would eat him as an appetizer before moving on to the main meal?

And because T-Rich and Roaf manhandled him on Monday Night in front of his own bitch ass crowd and he couldn't accept it

He didn't kill anyone. He just wouldn't say anything about his friend and what he saw.

Yeah, I think he just aided and abetted murderers rather than wielding the knife itself. Or at least that's what we're led to believe.

General comments:
How could they mention Elway hate without talking about KC? Elway only hosed the Browns once, he did us multiple times.

Right on about Rodney Harrison. He was a dirty, knee diving douchebag.

Guys not mentioned that should have been on the list:

Raiders:
Ben Davidson
Lyle Alzado
Marv Hubbard
Chester McGlocklin
John Matuzak

Chiefs:
Brock Middlebrook
Dan Williams
Tim Barnett
Bernard Pollard
Fred Williamson
Ryan Sims

Other Teams players who were dirty, criminal or poor character guys:
Alex Karras
Steve Atwater
Jack Lambert
Jim Burt
Dick Butkus
Joe Klecko
Paul Horning

Brett Farve, Tom Brady and Big Ben rated higher than Bill Romanowski? I think Brett's a idealistic, man child for not retiring but I don't hate him by any stretch. Nor Big Ben or Brady.

Rodney Harrison should be much higher and anyone that rates Vick at #18 needs to go visit some hippie, granola crunching town like Boulder, CO. Seething hatred for the man is the only way I could describe what they've told me about him when I mention PA.

Yeah, I'd put Romanowski at #5 behind the draft cheaters, and I don't hate Brady at all. Envy, yes. Hatred, no. Favre got annoying but doesn't make the list and the rapist should be somewhere on it, but not at the top.

Harrison and Vick are indeed too low. Vick may be at #7 on my list.

Glad Hines Ward made it on there. But why is Bo Jackson on there? How can anyone hate him? I also don't see why T.O. is #1. Favre is the easy winner here.

Bo Jackson? The guy who thought he was too special to play for the team that drafted him? The guy who thought he was more important than the beloved sport of American football? The guy who violated the system that helps even the balance of football teams to ensure an entertaining and sustainable product? That guy?

He's #2 on my all-time list because of that garbage. And because he was a Raider, of course.
