It's gotta be Chuck Hayes based on the free throw shot alone.

pretty solid answer

The Philip Humber thread makes me think he has an interesting case. The dude seriously caught lightning in a bottle. Threw a perfect game and got released the same year. Couldn't even hold a spot in the Astros rotation last year.

Kyle Boller
Mark Lemke (I hated that douche bag)

I can vouch. We were hosting some clients at a Wizards game and had courtside seats so I got to witness his conduct first hand.

A young child asked him for his autograph and Davis told him to frick off. We were floored.

Haven't heard that name in forever. Used to do work with him on Madden back when he was with the Redskins

He seemed like a cool guy but he was awful on the Eagles, especially as a #1 receiver. Him and Pinkston literally couldn't get off the line of scrimmage against Carolina in the NFCCG. Carolina's DBs would push them over at the LOS and Mcnabb would get sacked

An absolute piece of shite that I'm glad got cut from the Orlando Magic.

I have seen the Magic play 3 times this year and each time I had floor tickets behind their bench.

First game in Houston in pre-game, me and a buddy were clapping for this idiot and cheering him on. Turns around, grimaces and flips us off. We are shocked as nobody is in the arena for shootaround but us- much less ones wearing Magic gear.

We keep cheering. The same game, dude turns around and cusses us out. So, I'm like. He's probably still mad about getting in trouble in the hotel the week before.

He flipped and cussed me out in Houston and New York this year. Straight up yelling, in fact, we got into a yelling match in New Orleans and I was issued this card (below) in January at his request.

Glen Davis hates me and I hate Glen Davis. I hope he blows out every tendon in both his knees.



You must be REALLY annoying!

There is not a lot of things that surprise me, but I was shocked. It was almost funny it was such a dick move.

I can't even imagine an adult doing that to a kid! I mean its like he thinks to himself each morning, "how am I going to be an a-hole today?"

Not even. The only thing I do is clap. I think he thought I clapped after he missed. Which is pretty funny considering I wear a bright blue Magic jacket to every game.

It's the only thing I figure.

I've been three times and Jacque Vaughn shakes my hand every time. Oladipo doesn't say a word. Ever.

In fact, all the Magic players don't ever say anything except Jameer and Davis. Davis being the most negative.

Glen Davis also punked a kid behind the bench that wore a LSU hat and asked for an autograph. But I figured LSU fans on the board would say I was lying. It happened. I was floored. This was at the Houston game.

it was during warm ups and the Magic PR guys were hanging around by the bench and just rolled their eyes like this was a normal occurrence. The kids dad looked like he wanted to hit Davis. Probably of smart of him that he didn't, he would have had a bad time

Worst, no. He had solid years with the Colts and did lead the Saints with interceptions on year. Good cover 2 corner, awe full in man coverage.
