Some of the list I agree with, others no. My definition of a "bad ass" is very subjective. To me, the guy either had to have a reputation for being physically tough, mean spirited, intimidate his opponent, play hurt, be an iron man, or all of the above. Here's some who come to mind in no particular order:
Football Bad Asses:
Ray Nitschke
Mike Curtis
Larry Wilson
Dick Butkus
Jack Lambert
Ronnie Lott
Jack Youngblood
Willie Lanier
Larry Csonka
Deacon Jones
Chuck Bednarik
Baseball Bad Asses:
Ty Cobb
Bob Gibson
Nolan Ryan
Roger Clemens
Frank Robinson
Jack Morris
Don Drysdale
Lou Pinella
Pete Rose
Kirk Gibson
Cal Ripken, Jr.

Willis Reed
Michael Jordan
Jerry West
John Havlicek
Kermit Washington
