Sports turkeys of the year

Sports Illustrated has their list of sports’ turkeys of 2008. It’s a great list this year, graced by jokers like Kimbo Slice and Chad Johnson, Hall Of Famers like Roger Clemens and Brett Favre, and closers like the Mets’ bullpen and the Memphis Tigers free-throw shooters. For my money, Mike Singletary takes the stuffing.

Whom would you add to the list? I’m sure plenty of gay people would add the NBC Olympics commentators for not mentioning Matthew Mitcham’s sexual orientation during his gold-medal performance. Whom would you add?

    Every sports announcer on network TV — even those I like — whose “expert” views almost always prove to be so idiotic.

    No Knicks? C’mon, you have to have either Isiah Thomas or Stephon Marbury in there.

    Al Davis for spending butt-loads of money and getting nothing for it and for micro-managing his coaches and players. Sell the Raiders and buy more Depends!

    All the media outlets and even the sometimes fabulous Outsports for continuing to blather on about the Suns, the Cardinals, the Coyotes and the Diamondbacks and the lack of championships brought home when the WNBA Mercury won the national title last year. WNBA is for boys too!
