Who was the UN-Coolest athlete of all time? (1 Viewer)

Jameis Winston

Big Ben

Barry Bonds

Jose Canseco

Ricky Henderson 

Steve Carlton

Without looking... I have to believe Kurt Rambis is mentioned at least five times ahead of this post.

Bill Laimbeer is #1 in my book.  Played in a couple golf outings he was in.  Acted the same off the court as on.  Terrible person.

Terrell Owens.  TO just could not act cool if he tried. Sad he tarnished  his own career as he was one of the best WRs ever.

Marshawn Lynch.  I get he wanted to act cool around the media with his no comments and just here so I won`t get fined act, but he comes off looking very uncool and ignorant.

 
My wife was one of the first employees of Sportsline in Ft. Lauderdale way before CBS bought in. She was the QA mgr. Anyway sports celebs were always coming into her office. After Keyshawn was drafted #1 in '96 he agreed to do an online streaming interview. He came in and sat down, looked around and asked where the can was. He never came back!

Would've probably taken three hours to download that interview from an FTP server. And both guys on Usenet at the time wouldn't have had time to wait for that ... their moms might have need to use the phone during those three hours.

The coolest athlete is an interesting discussion, but who takes the prize as the un-coolest?  Athletes who have committed murder (sorry OJ, Rae, and A-Aron), domestic abuse (better luck next time, Ray and many others), or other heinous crimes are not eligible.

I will nominate Lance Armstrong. He was so dominant and seemed cool until we learned that he cheated big time, and then he verbally abused all his colleagues who were just speaking the truth.

I saw him at a bar in Austin in 2009ish and his energy was so off-putting I didn't even TRY saying anything to him.

A guy I used to hang out with when I lived elsewhere played in the bigs for a few years and was on the Phils with Dykstra.  They jumped in a cab together from their team hotel going to dinner, and out of nowhere, Dykstra says "you like that?"  My buddy kinda just looked at him... Dykstra once again goes "you like that huh?"  Finally buddy goes "wth are you talking about dude?" and Dykstra points at his socks and says "got my name on my socks!"   :excited:

Rambis only looked uncool.  He didn't have a lot of talent, but he was one of the hardest working guys I ever saw play the game.

yeah ... just see a ton of folks listing goofy looking white dudes - which doesn't necessarily mean "uncool" 

hell, goofy lookin' bastids can be as cool as anyone else ... lotta lazy responses up in here. 

 
They had the Broncos Falcons Super Bowl on a few days ago and I have to nominate the loogie-spitting wife-beating PED-using ####### Bill Romanowski.

(Allegedly)

"goofy looking white dudes" is the definition of uncool :shrug:

I did the first ever fantasy sports internet show on SL from '98-00.  Know a lot of the SL guys at that time.  Show was axed when CBS bought SL.

I met Laimbeer a few times and he was simply awesome. Passionate and brusque, sure, but a great person and leader.

I get why so many people say Rambis but I always thought the look was so nerdy it was cool, and he, too, seems like a very chill guy. I would choose Chuck Nevitt over Rambo any day for uncool.

With a lot of the selections being based on bad things they did/said/etc., surprised to not see Aaron Hernandez's name here.

He talks about this in the first post.  He specifically mentions scumbags like Hernandez is not what the thread is about.

 
I already posted my picks which basically equals goofy, tall, and gangly white dudes. That's definitely uncool.

But, it seems we're getting a lot of uncool = bad people. Kobe raped a girl and paid her off to get away with it. He should literally be sitting in a prison cell right now.
