We didn’t know Kirby Puckett was trash until he died.

Roy Williams is as dirty as the known cheaters in CBB and has a shitty temper, but you’d swear he was a Baptist minister based on his public image.

The 86 Mets were the shittiest collection of humans in sports history but the media loved all of them until they broke up the band.

Mike is anti giants cause they drafted Jones and Eli then immediately canceled his weekly appearance with him. But I think he's still pro Eli.


He’s anti Giants in everything now

Media still loves them.
Especially around here

It’s funny a guy like Tiki Barber is hated among fans here for saying bad things about the team when he retired

LT, Doc Gooden, Daryl Strawberry, are legends

Dude was involved in numerous domestic incidents and was just an all around scumbag but in the eyes for the media Puckett was “a good guy” and they felt sorry for him when he lost his eyesight. Same reason why his undeserving arse is in the HOF

You mentioned Gooden and Strawberry. They are notorious. But there’s also

Lenny Dykstra: con artist POS
Kevin Mitchell: anger issues
Wally Backman: DBacks manager fiasco
Keith Hernandez: Cokehead who got run from the Cardinals in spite of winning an MVP
Ray Knight: Anger issues/fighting arrest
Bobby Ojeda: on the boat that killed Steve Olin

Anything on JR Smith running a stop sign causing a crash which killed his passenger.

Phil Mickelson is every middle aged white dad’s hero, but he’s a scummy degenerate. Also did some insider trading.

Jim Bouton wrote that controversial book Ball Four in the late 60's and I think the media low profiled him and certainly tried to forget him.

Rafael Palmeiro denied steriod use, but later tested positive. He still insisted he did not intentionally do it and blamed other teammates for giving him tainted substances.

I feel like the steroid era is on a whole different level. All of those guys tried to maintain their innocence for the most part
