What 3 athletes WOULDN'T I want backing me up in a bar fight?

To continue yesterday’s blog about the three athletes I would want backing me up in a bar fight it’s now time to put together the Top 3 athletes I wouldn’t want backing me up in a bar fight. This list much easier then the first is basically pointing out the most mentally and physically weakest athletes according to me. With that being said let’s get the TOP 3 list going…

3. Alex Rodriguez - Any athlete that poses in front of a mirror kissing himself deserves to be on any negative sports list in the face of the earth. Whether it be biggest D-Bag, biggest tool, most likely to be gay etc. etc. A-Rod needs to be on that list. And this is coming from a Yankee fan. Anyone remember when A-Rod attempted to slap the ball out of Keith Foulke’s hand in the 2004 ALCS. If A-Rod was running with a purse down the line I wouldn’t have been surprised. A-Rod is more concerned with his physical features then swinging a bunch. Definately someone I wouldn’t want backing me up when shit hits the fan.

2. Jose Canseco - Jose Canseco is the A-Rod of the 1980s/early 90s. Though he looks like a brick wall and was part of the famous “bash brothers” with Mark McGwire…he just never came off to me as someone who was tough…at all. This is a guy that ratted out all of his friends, teammates and the entire world of Baseball just so he could get an extra dollar for his book…and it worked. Controversy DOES create cash they say… So with the features of throwing all your friends under the bus I must put Jose on the list. He is just someone that if a fight broke out you could picture running away only to come back when the fight was OVER to be like “what happened?…There was a fight?…I was in the bathroom the whole time must have been the chicken wings I ate.”

1. Mike Piazza - The last time I saw a picture of Mike Piazza he looked like a butch lesbian that was going to co-host with Ellen Degeneres. The guy never ever came off tough at all. Case in point: When a bat is throw at you. He let Roger Clemens (who despite being an steroid freak I do consider actually tough) throw a bat in front of him in the WORLD SERIES and never cold clocked Clemens when he stepped up to the plate or at an All-Star Game. C’mon what’s the worst that could happen? A suspension? Ok…but by that time you were just on your way to ending up in San Diego & Oakland where your career would slowly die anyway. AT LEAST go out with a bang and maybe Selig would have cut you some slack since Clemens was a jackass. That is why Piazza in number 1 on the athlete I WOULDN’T want backing me up in a bar fight…
