Athletes, douchebags? No!

Ran across this article this morning. I had planned on solely reviewing articles that surrounded Game 3 tonight-also known as Cliff Lee's Yankee audition- but I felt compelled to write this one up.
The article was entitled "10 Pro Athletes who may not be total douchebags."
And, as necessary, I shall review:
10. Tony Romo- you gotta be kidding me. This guy is the figurehead of douchebags. He cries, he single handedly loses games, he breaks up with Jessica Simpson, and he claims his golf game is as good as his football game. Well- that one might not be such a stretch.

 

9. Chris Paul. I'd argue that this guy is a D-bag. He cried about wanting to leave after he praised the city and franchise for years. Oh, you didn't land Bosh or Lebron? Big deal, it was never gonna happen anyway. Keep cashing your huge checks and wait for your contract to expire like every other pro athlete.

8. Steve Nash- I actually like this guy. He does wonderful things for charity. Hes great with kids. He loves soccer. Hell, hes canadian. Plus, dood loves to party:

 

7. Josh Hamilton- guy's a D-bag. anyone who willingly allows to be showered in ginger ale moves down in my book. 

6. D Wade- I don't know too much about this guy other than hes represented by Converse and T-Mobile, two of the dumbest, most worthless sponsors ever. Essentially, that means hes in it for the money, which you can't blame, but cmon, what about Nike and Tag Heuer? Be a man, d-bag.

5. Derek Jeter??? Don't even get me started. Guys got 5 rings and about to grab his sixth. Hes dating Minka Kelly. Hes the king of New York. Hes never done a thing wrong. I am simultaneously writing into the editor to ask for his home address so I can whoop his ass. 

4. Tim Duncan- the "Big Fundamental." This guy should be categorized more as a chach than a D-bag. There has never been anyone in the history of sports who does everything right while doing everything so boring.

3. Baron Davis- B. Diddy- I liked the guy, but hes fallen off hard. He took in the Hollywood lifestyle and forgot that hes an actual athlete. I say D-bag.

2 & 1. Roger Federer and Lance Armstrong. These guys are the undisputed best at their sport. Sure, tennis and cycling are gay, but to call these guys D-bags is a stretch. Bore, maybe a chach, but not a d-bag.

In my opinion, there are a lot of guys who weren't mentioned:

Papelbon, Pedro, Plaxico, Randy Moss (although I love him), now Favre, just to name a few...
