I'd have put Turris in instead of Ribeiro, personally. Hell, I'd have put Blake Wheeler ahead of Ribeiro for that matter.

I was thinking Turris, too.

 

[Summer Rose]

Byung-Hyun Kim? Really?

Rest of the list is pretty solid though. Except for Joe Johnson, I don't think he belongs on that list.

 

[doaner]

Joe Johnson???

 

[ClassLessCoyote]

Matt Leinart failed to be a #1 QB for the Cardinals, but I can't see him being a villain.

 

[Tom Polakis]

Levi Brown - villain for being picked ahead of Adrian Peterson, and then getting injured. Replace him with Daryl Washington.

Ribeiro does belong ahead of Turris due to his financial cost to the team.

I would have thought of adding Brett Hull. No matter how you sugar coat his reasons for giving up five games in, he was brought in as a sort of a face of a sorry franchise.

Joe Johnson doesn't belong on the list.

 

[SniperHF]

Upton is in no way a villain. Kendrick ran him out of town and the fanbase bought his garbage.

Typically as demonstrated by this article, the media will not point this out except for a couple-three sports talk radio people.

 

[Mosby]

Wayne Gretzky.

 

[SniperHF]

Wayne Gretzky.

No kidding. They probably wouldn't dare though

Joe Johnson???

Writer is an idiot.

Sarver lowballed JJ and began the destruction of a once great team.

Why would you hate Richie Sexson? We paid a lot for him, he was alright, got hurt, and then he sucked forever. That's not obviously his fault. I'd also argue that Matt Leinart just wasn't cut out for the NFL and it wasn't his attitude or his behavior that was the difference. I just don't think he had the requisite skillset.

Yeah. It's not like we went to another team and became a starter the moment he left us.

The whole list is a joke, minus the Morris twins that have destroyed the Suns team.

Sarver would be a better candidate. Not that they'd do that either.

 

[Dirty Old Man]

I would put Mario Elie in front of some of those. 20 years later I still can't believe the NBA Finals in 1995 weren't the Suns v. my Orlando Magic.

You just had to remind me.

I almost forgot that happened. It's slightly less painful (and therefore at least mildly more forgettable) than John Paxson for 3 in game 6...




... I just argue that I'm not really a basketball fan

 

[ClassLessCoyote]

Wayne Gretzky.

Don't forget Jerry Moyes.

 

[PerpetualTankYear]

List sucks. Gretzky, Turris, Wheeler, Sarver, McDo-whatever (Suns current GM), Mike Barnett, and even Jason Richardson (Box out Ron Artest, you idiot) all are more deserving of some of these guys.

Heh, yeah, Paxson is probably bigger. Difference is for me in 93 I didn't live here yet (and indeed had no idea I ever would), and the event didn't involve Orlando.
