There are some guys out there that it's impossible to hate.

Tim Duncan
Cal Ripken
Steve Yzerman
Marshall Faulk


I just randomly picked a guy from each sport, I can't see any reason to dislike any of these guys.

What's to hate about Yzerman? He's a shining example of an athlete with class.

I'm not talking about hating a guy for beating your team in the big game, I'm talking about athletes who are just good guys period. Good hearts, good sports. Andy Pettitte is another good guy.

Jordan was admirable as an athlete, but a lot of people don't like him because he was an insane trash talker and quit on his team to selfishly play baseball.

That's what I'm talkin about.
He's on the Avs, who I hate with every bone in my body, but Sakic is the man. I'll save my hate for Forsberg :twisted:

I'm the exact opposite side of the coin. I effing HATE the wings, but can't help respecting Yzerman. The guy's a classy player and a living legend. I felt horrible watching him take that puck to face last year. Now had that been McCarty, Hatcher or Holmstrom, I would've giggled my ass off.

Emmitt Smith. His only fault (to people that hate him) was that he played for the Cowboys.

You know I couldn't agree more with this.
I was going to say Sakic, but I didn't know if anyone was a weirdo and didn't like him. It's so easy to say Steve Y cause he's Steve Y. Both players are two of the most sportsmanlike players the league has ever see. Classy, and classic. Love em both.

P.s... I wish it would have been Hatcher, that P.O.S, at the end of that shot instead of Yzerman.

I won't go so far to say I was rooting for the Avs, but I did get a bit of a smile to see him hoist the Cup.

Walter Payton. I can't imagine a reason people wouldn't respect him.
