The "I hate Christian Laettner" 30 for 30 aired this past weekend. He arguably could be considered the greatest college basketball player of all time, playing in 4 straight Final Fours with Duke. This along with other things made him one of the most hated guys in sports. Today on the Valenti and Foster show they discussed their four most hated guys in sports list. This got me thinking, who in sports should Detroit fans hate universally. Here's the list:
Brett Favre
Favre absolutely killed the Lions every time he played them. In his career he went 26-9, threw for almost 9, 000 yards with an 88.3 QB Rating. And let's not forget the pass to Sterling Sharpe in the '94 wildcard game.
Michael Jordan
It took him years to defeat the Detroit Pistons in the playoffs. He struggled so bad to do so, the NBA changed the defensive rules to help him. He also was instrumental in leaving Zeke off the dream team.
Matt Millen
He was brutal as the Lions GM. 0-16 says it all. He drafted Joey Harrington, Mike Williams, and Charles Rogers. And signed players like Bill Schroeder, Az Hakim, and Damien Woody. Not surprising when you realized he spent half the week in Pennsylvania.
Sidney Crosby
Not only did he raise the cup at the Joe but he refused to shake any of the Wings hand. Mr. Whiner himself is somehow still loved around the NHL.
