re: Your Top 3 most-hated Media Personalities (at any level)

Bayless is an actor who is paid by ESPN to be absolutely hated by the public. Stephen A, very similar to Bayless, but he doesn't have to act. Hill is just flat out awful and there because she is a black female.

The 3 above (including mike & mike) should be exclouded from the questionare because they can not be taken seriously, and are planted in their positions for retards to think about the stances they take.

Bayliss
Jamel hill
Kannell

I know the spelling is wrong. I don't respect them enough to look up the correct spelling.

This. Of course, that's not really new, because he's been stirring the pot since he was covering the Cowboys, but he's playing the villainous contrarian role and he does it well.

First Take has thankfully slipped back into irrelevancy, but when he was the leader of the Tebow bandwagon during 2011 and it's all they talked about, their ratings were through the roof.

He tried to lead the bandwagons for both Manziel and RG3 when they respectively came into the league, but those have been miserable failures.

On ESPN personalities.

Cowherd- Vey good troll, he will pat the SEC crowd on the back one day and crush them the next by bringing up the West Coast/ PAC12 and rustle a ton of jimmies. Then act like he's better then everyone, and people believe him.

Kannel- A accelerated Cowherd because he played college ball and went the NFL. Very good at rustling.

These are the reasons SVP & Russillo were the only good show to listen to.

Screaming A Smith Sucks. By far my number 1. I can't stand that guy.

Chris Berman
Lou Holtz (does it make me a bad person in that I wish that senile old fricker had died in a house fire?)
Skip Bayless

On the local level, Richard Condon, Ronnie Rantz and Joel Davis aren't far behind. I saw Rantz at L'Auberge when I was drunk over the weekend and debated going over and insulting him. But I realized I'm 44 years old, have a decent job and my wife was with me, so that would have been a piss-poor idea.

Hill
Fatass
Steven A

Keith Olberman
Jemele Hill
Peter King

Jamele
Chris Berman
Mike Greenburg

ETA: Mike Lupica has to be in there somewhere

Stephen A Smith
Skip Bayless

Yup.

It's been said that you watch people you like, but you watch people you don't like even more. Can't say that's the case for me. I avoid these people like the plague.

ETA: Forgot about Berman. But his act is more just tired and annoying.

ETA2: What's with the hate for Kanell? I think he does a good job.
