The Top 10 Bad Ass Mofos in Sports History

Thanks for the link, but that list sucks. I would like to hear what their definition of a "Bad Ass Mofo" is.

Larry Bird. Are you kidding me :rolleyes:
Mike Tyson doesn't even make the list?

I agree, I'm not sure about Larry Bird being up there at #2. You don't have to agree with the list...I posted it intending to create some discussion...

And this is what their definition of a "Bad Ass Mofo" is:

"Guys with big mouths who backed it up. Guys you probably hate when they're playing your team, but you'd kill to have on your team. Guys who told you they were gonna beat your ass, did it, ripped your heart out afterward, and ate it before your eyes as you died right in front of them."

By that definition, Bird should definitely be #2, if not #1. He had a huge mouth, and he backed it up. You could come up with a zillion things he did in his career to back that definition up. Ali is the only guy I'd put at his level...

I should have made this list.

The best linebacker ever? Debatable. A Bad Ass Mofo? Without question.

ROFL

In our current era of batters intimidating pitchers, Gibson makes you wonder about the pitchers mound, "Where have all the Bad Ass Mofos gone?"

:LOL:

He had a particular taste for Cleveland Browns QB Brian Sipe, who Lambert hit so hard, so late, so many times, Pete Rozelle had to call him in for a meeting.

Yikes.

All while looking like the most awkward guy on the court…to be that un-athletic, and still be that Bad Ass, is a special kind of Mofo.

ROFL

I have to disagree with this.

Nolan Ryan
He comes close solely because, at the age of 46, he put Robin Ventura in a headlock and proceeded to beat the snot out of him when Ventura, 20 years younger than Ryan, dared to charge the mound in 1993. But the guy is just too nice. Too many pharmaceutical commercials after the fact.

Nope, sorry. Nolan Ryan should definitely be on the list. Just look at this photo.

Steve DeBerg had one good year. I wouldn't call him a bad ass.

I'll give you three good Bird stories.

1.) Regular season game vs. the Seattle Sonics. Close game, comes down to the end... just a few seconds left. As anyone who follows basketball knows, Bird is one of the greatest, if not the best, clutch shooter ever. Xavier McDaniel, Seattle's star player, comes out to guard him. Bird tells him straight up, "I'm going to get the ball right here", points to a spot about 15-18 feet away near the FT line, and tells Xavier he's going to make the shot. They fight for position, they inbound it, Bird gets the ball, right near the spot, Xavier in his face, turns, shoots, drains it. Celtics win.

2.) In 1985, Kevin McHale had the game of his life. Caught fire, hit everything. In the 4th quarter, he had 56 points, a Boston Celtics record. Which obviously is quite an accomplishment with their history. Bird tells McHale he should go for 60. McHale, being the good sport and nice guy, still passes on the opportunity. Nine days later, Larry Bird drops 60 points on the Atlanta Hawks. Maybe the best shooting performance of his career, he was hitting so many shots that the Hawks players on the bench were actually laughing and high fiving each other. After the game he is quoted as saying. "It's Kevin's own fault," Bird says. "He should have gone for 60 that day, and I told him that."

3.) 1988 All-Star Three point competition. Final round, Bird goes around the arc, he gets to the last rack, and he must make his last three shots to win the competition. He hits the first shot, makes the 2nd. Puts the final ball up in the air. After the ball leaves his hand, Bird walks toward midcourt holding up one finger with the ball still in the air.

And he drained it. That is balls.

[QUOTE=Mr. Rat Fink]He's a bad-ass simply for the fact that he played a season with a broken finger.

Oh my god. That is awesome.
