<p>Serena Williams. Never liked her, never will. Was a big fan of Venus though.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Shane Warne. Is just a classic bogan, who was fucking excellent at cricket.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Woodward. Did meet him, he was a prat, which was in some ways, good to discover.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jamie Roberts. Was easily my favourite NH rugby player, but then he openly cheered for Australia in the WC final, so he can get fucked. :)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I quite like Lewis Hamilton, he was bit over hyped to begin with, but I absolutely love watching him race, he gives it his all and isn't afraid to take risks where others wouldn't. And ultimately thats what it should be about. Having Justin Bieber by the podium for his Monaco win this year took him down a peg in my view though.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I used to dislike will Greenwood too when he played, but he's a great commentator, and I've come round to him.</p>

<p>Woodward. Another glaring omission from me.</p>

<p>Kyrgios is a massive, massive tool. And what makes it worse is he acts like that, but he quits as soon as it gets tough. And what makes it even worse is he knows he does it, openly admits to it, and can't be fucked correcting it. So he would rather mouth off at officials and journos, then try and develop the mental game to compete. He doesn't want a coach, because some weeks he can't be fucked with tennis, and no coach is going to want to put up with that. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>His presser this morning after getting humped by Murray was very honest, but it won't change his attitude. </p> -
<p>Steph Curry</p>

<p>Shooter McGavin was a smarmy twat</p>

<p>Ernie "Big Ern" McCracken</p>

I think quite alot of you have missed the original point of this thread. It was basically sportspeople you hate despite them not having done anything controversial or twatish on or off the field. Plenty of those mentioned have been prize piston wristed gibbons both on and off the field/court/track etc.<br><br>
Tim Horan's always irritated me for some reason. And that ex-league player Paul Harragon. Probably because he was the unfunniest, least charismatic person to ever appear on TV. -
Oh yeah, Thierry Dusetois (apologies for spelling). He's an awesome player and could very well be a top bloke, but that Gaelic stare make him look like some of his more arrogant countrymen after they've been told that they were served English wine.

<p>He's just a Frenchman, they all pretend they don't speak English but they do. They prefer you to make an arse out of yourself trying to ask for directions and where the nearest bar is in your best broken 5th form French.</p> -
<p>Jamie Soward, Braith Anasta, Lleyton Hewitt, Shane Warne and Matthew Hayden just off the top of my head.</p>

To be fair I always found Frenchmen to be extremely helpful and pleasant when I was there. When I played rugby in Oslo the French guys were the nicest and least wankerish of the lot. They do have that dodgy look about them though.<br><br>
Most rugby league players make me sick these days. I remember when the money started to role in they were worried that the players would become less working class and more corporate. Well instead of corporate the players appear to have gone a few steps back and embraced the prison population. -
<p>Yeah the NRL is a bunch of decent blokes you never hear about because they just keep their heads down, some superstars who don't seem to do anything wrong even with all that profile, and a shitload of cashed-up-bogans who seem to fail humanity time and time again</p>

<p>Roger Federer. Loved watching him play in his prime, but could never watch an interview of his. Such a punchable face.</p>

<p>Predictably I agree with this to a massive degree, he is to being a self aggrandising arseclown as Richie was to openside play. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Matt Dawson, thinks he is some sort of comedian. Well I'll admit I laughed quite a bit when he was shifted to centre by his club post 2003 rwc to make way for a kiwi who couldn't get a s12 contract.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Neil Back. I don't think I need to explain any further.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lleyton Hewitt, rumour has it when his wife was pregnant the doctors gave her a scan and at six months the fetus was showing more maturity than the father.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Caleb Ralph, makes me look quick and still managed to win a sevens gold medal , get picked by three different all black coaches and shag a princess. Prick.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not getting the ill feeling towards Eales, he's pretty dry I'll agree but doesn't totally lack a sense of humour. When he was interviewed on the rock he was asked about the highlights of his playing career and said "Well, I got to meet David Campese".</p> -

I would like this post 5 times if I could. Great picture too, capturing the essence of Ernie. -

<p>The 1.93m 100kg Will Greenwood was an inspiration for skinny white guys? </p>

<p>He was a radiosport interviewee for a while there and really good value, seemed like a top bloke once you got past his accent and his team.</p> -

Yeah, so holy he refused to play on Sunday...
