Ben Coates...the Dolphins could NEVER tackle him. He basically looked like Gronk against us.

Not a fan of Kyle Shannahan either. Not an athlete I guess, but no real respect either at this point.

Most super dominant players: Jordan, Woods, etc. I'd put Brady in that class too except that he is so hated on I kinda love him.

Basically the whole 90's Bills:

Kelly (who I now genuinely like...actually I like a bunch of these guys now, but man did I ever hate them back then)
Thurman Thomas
Kenneth Davis
Andre Reed
John Fina
Bruce Freaking Smith (Richmond Webb was an awesome LT who could block Bruce to save Marino's life. That strip sack in the '92 AFC Championship still haunts me.)
Cornelious Bennett
Darryl Talley

What's ironic is that I bet mecca hates all these guys.

There's an unfortunate dearth of Ben Coates highlights on YouTube. But I found this one that speaks to your point (1 minute and 55 seconds in):

darryl strawberry was a jerk, but you gotta respect him for banging groupies in the clubhouse during games.

It's not really that impressive. Baseball games are like four hours long and the clubhouse is private.

Not true. I'm in a great relationship and everyone I work with disgusts me anyway.

I apologize, Joey: Tony Gonzalez definitely belongs on my list as well, I don't know why I initially omitted him.
