These are my opinions only. I don't expect everyone to agree, so save your caustic remarks and simply answer the question. Onward...
• Baseball team: Chicago Cubs – Biggest bandwagon in the nation, and nothing is worse than “Cubs Fan” crawling out from under its rock every time the team even sniffs the playoffs.
• Baseball player: Barry Bonds – ‘nuff said.
• Football team: New England Patriots – Accept it Bostonians, the so-called dynasty officially died last year.
• Football player: Michael Vick’s reprehensible criminality aside, my vote goes to Terrell Owens – Is there a more self-absorbed a$$ in the sport?
• Basketball team: L.A. Lakers – Does anyone really follow this team other than celebrities who show up at the games just to be seen?
• Basketball player: Michael Jordan – I know he’s retired, but his style of play ushered in everything that is wrong with the game today.
• NASCAR team: Hendrick Motor Sports – the plastic, say-all-the-right-things combination of Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon is enough to make a reasonable person puke.
• NASCAR driver: Dale Earnhardt, Jr. – Come see me when he actually does something noteworthy beyond having his father’s name.
• MLS: Who cares?
• NHL: Ditto
