Look who checks in a #42. Here's a hint...he's currently filing a lawsuit against his former employer!

At least he put Kelvin Sampson at no. 8.

Brother Gene sounded like he was a little bit more than ticked off at the world in general.

He's always been the best that ESPN has to offer in the "Cranky Old Man" line of sports columnists. If you're looking for anything else, Gene will be sorely disappointing. I was totally prepared for No. 50 to be: "Those darned kids and their loud music."

I thought it was humorous.

As did I.

I can't stand Wojciechowski

It had it's moments, but I can't believe I wasted the time reading it. :irked:

:thumb:I agree!

I feel like I would agree with a decent amount of his things lol.

Pretty solid list IMO.

I agree with most of the list, and would put the cell phone behind home plate a bit higher.

I'll add a few.

 

51. "Flu-like symptoms". Really, who do you think you're kidding?

 

52. That old lady that used to sit behind home plate during the (I think) Braves games back in the 1980s and spin her hands around and around to try to annoy the opposing pitcher. Whether or not she was successful, I don't know; but she annoyed the heck out of me.

 

53. Soccer floppers.

 

54. Women who sound like they're giving birth on every shot of their tennis match. I tried to watch some of the French Open this afternoon; thank goodness the mute button was working.

55. Loudmouths who shout, "Get in the hole" as a PGA pro tees off on a 485-yard par-4.

56. Marv Albert's "hair".
