Sport's Most Wanted

This list comes out every year and it can be interesting to see who is still on it, and who has worked themselves off of it. Interestingly enough it shows who've simply dug themselves even deeper into the mire. This year, with a tie for first between Michael Vick (pictured, Philidelphia Eagles-image when he played for the Falcons), and Tiger Woods (Golf), it has an interesting aspect to it. I think almost everyone that's here deserves it, and I can't think of anyone else we could possibly add. Ben Roethlisburger (Pittsburgh Steelers) making it out of the top ten is probably a good thing, despite the fact that I think his possible crime was more serious than Vick's.No matter how ugly dog fighting is, rape is worse. But again, Roethlisburger didn't get charged and may not have done anything illegal. If Big Ben's rape incident was simply alleged as a publicity stunt, than I am very glad to see him off of this list. However he was on this list before the 2009 incident.

I wouldn't even let Ndamukong Suh (pictured, Detroit Lions) on my team. I don't care who you are but Vick and Big Ben were only really 'bad' off the field, this guy stepped on a Green Bay player's head and kicked him repeatedly before team mates could pull him off (offense pictured). There's nothing good about that situation. I looked at the Detroit Lions early this NFL season (2011) with awe as the Lions and Buffalo Bills started out hard and had up to 5-0 and 4-0 respectively, both phenominal for their history. The Lions roar faded a little bit as the season progressed and I almost forgot about them by the time I was eating turkey and watching the Baltimore Raven's and San Fransico 49ers play that night. They showed a replay of Ndamukong Suh angrily stomping on the man's head, and then whining to his coach that "I didn't see him" after he was ejected from the game. I lost nearly all my respect for that team.

Okay, long explanation, but I don't want that kind of man on my team! He ruined the image of the Detroit Lions, and nearly erased the memory of such a phenominal season.

Tiger Woods may be my only exception to people that belong on this list. He had an ugly divorce and cheated on his wife, not to downplay that, but he's always been such a good athlete. I'm kind of surprised that he's still on the list and Big Ben made it off. I like Woods better than Big Ben.

I never liked Kyle Busch. I mean really, how can you get SO many speeding tickets? Ok sure, you're a race car driver you know how to drive fast safely, and are a better driver than 99 percent of the other people on the road, and I'm sure he even respects automobiles more as well. But he drives $120,000 Lexus's over a hundred miles an hour in 35 miles an hour posted areas. That's off the track. On the track, he wants his way all the time. Sure, a lot of young drivers do because they don't have the class of Richard Petty or Dale Earnhardt Sr., but other young drivers are respectful. Look at Carl Edwards. Needless to say, Kyle Busch could learn alot from his older brother. And everyone else behind the wheel of a stock car (with the notable exception of Scott Speed and Danica Patrick).

Now this is just the top ten posted below, but even worse thatn Kyle Busch (but barely worse) is Kevin Harvick. He's older and should know better, but is a meaner driver, team member and arrogant celebrity. Maybe these two can learn, some drivers do. Just look at Tony Stewart!
