Name a sports player or personality that most people hate, but you like.

[CHOPTALK]

I love Lou Holtz.

Despite the fact that I hate Notre Dame.

He just comes off to me as a great human being. I love the guy.
I know most people cant stand him, but he cracks me up.

He cracks me up in a good way.
That commercial where he finds the tap dancing deal on Groupon was funny as hell.
He never takes himself too seriously.
I love his pep speeches.
Him and Mark May make a great combo.
I believe they truly like each other.

He has picked Notre Dame to win every game since he left ND no matter who they are playing except for 2 weeks ago when his son was coaching against them and they were a DD dog. He was right.

I love the homer in him.


Seems like a great person with a great personality.

Name someone you like that others hate.

Honorable mention:
Mark Cuban
Rex Ryan
Nick Saban

I'm going back 20+ years for this question. I live(d) in Boston. At the time, there were few as despised as Bill Laimbeer, and to a lesser degree, a pre-tattood Dennis Rodman (as a Piston). It wasn't popular around here, but I was a big fan of both of them.

I've soured a bit on Rodman. Mainly because I blame him for the tattoo epidemic in all of sports. It was better when they were few and far between.
