Athletes you will NEVER forgive (1 Viewer)

What athlete (NOT TEAM) has stabbed you in the heart by their performance (costing your team a championship, etc.) that you will never, never, ever be able to forgive.

For me, the list is topped by David "#######" Justice for his work in game 6 of the 1995 World Series. While the Indians struggled against the Braves staff (understandably so), it was Justice's homer that ended the Indians' WS drought.

I don't care that he eventually became an Indian - I still hated him. To this day, my wife can't hear his name without also hearing me call him (in this case) FREAKING.

How 'bout you?

 
Tanya Harding.

I had 10k riding on a Kerrigan gold medal. Non refundable. Lost my left big toe because of it.

 
I'm still pissed about Westbrook taking a knee at the one.

13 years in the league, 5 2nd place finishes, zero championships.

 
Andre Reed likely cost me a whole bunch of money in SBXXVI with this display of dumbassery

W 28 318 Kelly pass to Reed broken up (B. Edwards), incomplete. Buffalo penalized 15 for unsportsmanlike conduct (Reed).

2nd to last play of the first half, Reed thinks he was interfered with, rips off his helmet and slams it down. The penalty knocked Buffalo out of FG range. While 45 yard FGs are no sure thing, he gets to shoulder the blame of me not cashing in that Wash 7 - Buff 3 square.

 
Danny Young, for being

in Game 6 of the 1991 Western Conference Finals.Rasheed Wallace, for jacking up jumper after jumper after jumper in Game 7 of the 2000 Western Conference Finals.

 
Peyton Manning - Sex offender and PED user, but the media sweeps it all under the rug. Terrible person and a cheater.

 
I'll always love Gary Andersen!

Also Brett Favre leaving Green Bay was worth it just to see him give so much Super Bowl hope to Vikings fans only to see him snatch it away in the cruelest way possible! GB that guy.

 
I'm more angry with two guys from my team than with players from other teams.

1. I think the Falcons still lose to the Broncos but I'm still mad about Eugene Robinson's escapades before the Super Bowl. I think it played some part in the outcome.

2. Lonnie Smith - if he doesn't get duped and screw up on the bases in game 7 the Braves most likely win that WS - #### you Lonnie!

I'm a Braves fan and think that Justice was a ######## so no problems here. And I think you should be pissed at Glavine more than Justice, but that's just me.

Didnt bother me. Live by the gunslinger, die by the gunslinger. AP deservers more blame for the loss than Favre.

 
Robert horry - cheap shot against steve nash in game five which resulted in a suspension for amare and borris. Ended up losing in game 7. Spurs swept the championship series. That should have been the suns year.

Lewis Billups and Stanley Wilson for their roles in SB XXIII. Billups dropped an easy interception with the Benglas leading 13-6 early in the 4th quarter. Next play Montana hits Rice for a TD and it's a tie game. Wilson got coked up the night before and didn't play. He was a big part, and under rated piece, of the offense. How in the world do you get high the night before the biggest game of your life?! :wall: :angry:

Danny Young, for being .5 seconds too late against the Pistons in Game 4 of the 1990 NBA finals.

Cliff Robinson, for letting the ball slip through his fingers in Game 6 of the 1991 Western Conference Finals.

Rasheed Wallace, for jacking up jumper after jumper after jumper in Game 7 of the 2000 Western Conference Finals.

Rasheed Wallace for not guarding Robert ####### Horry when everyone in Detroit was yelling, don't leave Horry, stay with the inbounded.

The strike zone that Joe Brinkman was calling for Glavine was rather generous to say the least.

According to Tom Hamilton, Justice himself talked about this when he came to cleveland

Tom Hamilton, radio broadcaster: "It's almost as if you remember the name Brinkman as much as anyone who played in the game. He was kneeling five feet behind the catcher. How are you supposed to see home plate from there? Well, obviously he couldn't.

"When David Justice came to Cleveland in 1997, he said when he came off the field in the first inning [of Game 6] he thought, 'This game is over.' He said if [brinkman] was going to give Tom Glavine those pitches, Glavine would nail that spot all night long.

"Guys were forced to swing at pitches out of the strike zone. Glavine damn near threw a no-hitter. It was almost like a blasé one-hitter to win the World Series. I'm sure Atlanta would disagree, think it's just sour grapes, but c'mon."

there are a lot, but Charles Smith failing for the NYK in 1993 I think stands out a lot.

Smith, Smith, again, Smith, Smith, again........................it's over.

What goes around, comes around. Umps got Atlanta back in the '97 NLCS game 7 when lard-ass Eric Gregg gave Livan Hernandez the biggest strike zone ever recorded. It was so egregious that experts actually measured it via tape and found he was calling a strike zone 5 feet from top to bottom and 6 feet wide. Some of these strikes challenge the imagination... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mR3eK5gCChM

To be fair, Indian hitters weren't exactly the '27 Yankees in that WS.

I still think that may have been the most entertaining NBA game I've ever watched. I'm sure the end sucked platypus nuts for Knicks fans, but what an incredible game. I distinctly remember being at a beach house and 3 of my friends and 4 girls were playing drinking games on the porch and I could not remove myself from the inside sofa, I was so riveted to that game. I chose it over possible poontang, that's how good it was.

I remember that game too. I actually think Rogers walked Andruw Jones twice in that at-bat and got bailed out by the ump once. What an incredible series, though.
