I never liked Scott Rolen. He just seemed jealous of Pujols and couldn't handle not being the man.

Die hard skins fan but I've always liked Tony Romo.

Deangelo Hall I can't stand after reading his tweets to Richard Sherman.

I don't really hate any Teams anymore, but when I did, as a Ranger fan, I hated the Islanders but absolutely admired and respected the hell out of Denis Potvin, unlike every other Ranger fan that to this day, 25 years after his career has ended, still chant Potvin Sucks at Ranger games.
As a Chief fan, I never particularly liked Brandon Flowers, even when he didn't suck, like he did last year. Glad he's gone and I can root against him with SD.

Minus the Nash/Lakers, these are my thoughts exactly

I thought of another player I hated on a team I loved

Antoine Walker - Celtics

Me too. I used to have arguments with two prior coworkers on who was better for the Celtics, Pierce or Antoine.
They were like Antoine's the man, waaaaay better than Pierce.

People can be very silly.

Than you hear how the jackass pissed away all his earnings and you don't even feel bad for the dummy.

JJ Redick, I hate Dook (like most of the world does, and I'm racist towards white basketball players :)) but I've come to respect JJ as an NBA player. He's worked hard to change his game and his body, and we don't have Dook Vitale hyping him up 24/7/365 anymore.

Ray Allen and the Heat (OK, that really shouldn't count. Too much bias, and way too easy for me)

Victor Cruz and the NYG, I like the guy's act and his story

and while I don't hate Rondo, I'm not a big fan of his. And I think he needs to smile more :). The only star player on one of my teams I feel that way about

It was either the SportsHub or WEEI that did a comedy bit on how they did a fundraiser for him and put all the money they raised on a single spin on the Roulette Wheel "because that's what 'Twan would want us to do"

He spent too much time with Jordan and was not nearly as keen in the gambling game as his Airness.

yeah it is one thing to have a gambling problem...

It is another thing to have a gambling problem and try to keepup betting with a guy who sells 2.2 billion dollars worth of shoes every year. He should've had PP teach him poker....

A player i love on a team i hate would be Drew Brees. Joe Tiller was always my favorite college coach at Wyoiming and Purdue and i was a big fan of Brees while he was in college. ...kind of anti Saints though.

A player i dislike on a team i love is Bama wr and return specialist Christon Jones. ...I think Jones actually has a pretty good head on his shoulders so i dont want to compare him to the FSU qb , but Jones is def one of those "jive turkey" kind of guys and can trash talk ghetto style with the best of them. ...I'm surprised Saban allows some of the stuff he does. ... but he a playa.

I love the Cowboys but despise Jerry Jones - sucks.

Who do you think has it worse... you Cowboy fans or us Redskins fans with Daniel Snyder?

I will say, Snyder not bending to public pressure to change the Redskins name is the first time I grew some respect for him. Otherwise, he's horrible!!
