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.
