Most Disliked Sports Figure Ever.  For the non sports-fan, this could be just about anyone.
 Take my wife for instance, she hates every sport ever played.  For the average "joe"
however, there are always a few guys you really can't stand.  Our crack staff conjured up a
list of 64 that bum us out, here's what happened.

...  Rick Kotite's
4-28 record with
the NY Jets

hatable with east

Most Dislike Sports Figure in America
Howard Eskin narrowly upsets OJ Simpson
Notes:  You could probably tell a Philadelphia bias in our poll, with Pete Cristy, Al Meltzer, Matt
Gieger, Lou Tilly, and Bruce Casella  all making the venue.  Speaking of Casella, he recently
chimed in on his own cause:

"Great stuff on the field of 64. I know you guys probably don't like me but that's ok. I don't like myself on many
days, but I love to see creativity."
Take care,
Bruce Casella

With humility like that, maybe we'll have to reconsider his status...  Nope, that would be cheating...

There is  a horse racing angle here as well, with Kentucky's Mike Battaglia, and Pocono Downs' Shane Bacon (both
announcers), and the arrogance of trainer Bob Baffert.
Our polsters were amoung the 1/2 of America that liked the man who "told it like it was."
