			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here at PopCrunch we&#8217;ve always been huge fans of hating on popular athletes. These days there are so many stupid athletes we have a hard time keeping track of them all. That&#8217;s why we&#8217;ve decided to put together a list of our Top 10 Most Hated Athletes of 2009.</p>
<p><strong>10: Terrell Owens</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://sports.popcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Terrell-Owens-loves-him-some-him.jpg" alt="Terrell Owens loves him some him" title="Terrell Owens loves him some him" width="500" height="500" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11487" /></p>
<p><em><strong>Why We Hate Him:</strong></em> He&#8217;s washed up and drops more balls than he catches these days, but he still won&#8217;t shut up! The only reason he&#8217;s not higher on our list is because he tried to kill himself a few years ago, so we&#8217;re guessing he hates himself just as much as we hate him. <span id="more-11480"></span></p>
<p><strong>9: Tiger Woods</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://sports.popcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Tiger-Woods-Shaves-on-TV.jpg" alt="Tiger Woods Shaves on TV" title="Tiger Woods Shaves on TV" width="450" height="400" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11491" /></p>
<p><em><strong>Why We Hate Him:</strong></em> He makes golf relevant, and we hate him for that. When we turn on SportsCenter we want to see highlights from REAL sports, not golf.</p>
<p><strong>8: Andy Roddick</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://sports.popcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/andy-roddick-an-american-who-sucks.jpg" alt="andy-roddick-an american who sucks" title="andy-roddick-an american who sucks" width="400" height="504" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11494" /></p>
<p><em><strong>Why We Hate Him:</strong></em> He&#8217;s America&#8217;s best male tennis player, but he&#8217;s internationally known as Roger Federer&#8217;s bitch. Roddick&#8217;s head-2-head record against Federer currently sits at an embarrassing 2-19. Andy, please retire.</p>
<p><strong>7: Peyton Manning</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://sports.popcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Peyton-Manning-Mustache-commercial.jpg" alt="Peyton Manning Mustache commercial" title="Peyton Manning Mustache commercial" width="400" height="400" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11493" /></p>
<p><em><strong>Why We Hate Him:</strong></em> Is it even possible to turn on television without seeing his ugly face in every other commercial? </p>
<p><strong>6: Alex Rodriguez</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://sports.popcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Arod-also-loves-him-some-him.jpg" alt="Arod also loves him some him" title="Arod also loves him some him" width="421" height="500" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11495" /></p>
<p><em><strong>Why We Hate Him:</strong></em> Anybody who poses for pictures while making out with himself in a mirror will most definitely always make our Top 10 Most Hated lists.</p>
<p><em><strong>5: Floyd Mayweather Jr.</strong></em></p>
<p><img src="http://sports.popcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Floyd-MAyweather-Jr-we-really-hate-him.jpg" alt="Floyd MAyweather Jr we really hate him" title="Floyd MAyweather Jr we really hate him" width="468" height="416" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11497" /></p>
<p><em><strong>Why We Hate Him:</strong> </em>He talks a lot of shit and he thinks he&#8217;s better than Sugar Ray Robinson, but in reality he&#8217;d get his ass kicked by a prime Hector Camacho.</p>
<p><strong>4: Brady Quinn</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://sports.popcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Brady-Quinn-is-really-really-gay.jpg" alt="Brady Quinn is really really gay" title="Brady Quinn is really really gay" width="450" height="473" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11499" /></p>
<p><strong><em>Why We Hate Him:</em></strong> He&#8217;s a closet homosexual. Not only does he break the top 5 on this list, but if we were to make a list of top 10 athletes most likely to come out of the closet, Quinn would be #1.</p>
<p><strong>3: Stephon Marbury</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://sports.popcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Stephon-Marbury-is-also-really-really-gay.jpg" alt="Stephon Marbury is also really really gay" title="Stephon Marbury is also really really gay" width="419" height="526" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11500" /></p>
<p><em><strong>Why We Hate Him: </strong></em>We hate him for many of the same reasons we hate Brady Quinn. We believe him and Quinn could have a nice life together if they ever hooked up.</p>
<p><strong>2: Michael Vick</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://sports.popcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/michael-vick-flips-off-popcrunch.jpg" alt="michael-vick flips off popcrunch" title="michael-vick flips off popcrunch" width="475" height="360" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11501" /></p>
<p><em><strong>Why We Hate Him:</strong></em> We hate him for the same reasons everybody else hates him. After he spent 18 months in federal prison for dog fighting, we thought we wouldn&#8217;t still hate him with such a strong passion. Well, we were wrong because we still hate him just as much as before (maybe more).</p>
<p><strong>1: Gina Carano</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://sports.popcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Gina-Carano-naked-for-weight-in.jpg" alt="Gina Carano naked for weight in" title="Gina Carano naked for weight in" width="450" height="556" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11503" /></p>
<p><em><strong>Why We Hate Her:</strong></em> She refuses to pose for Playboy. We&#8217;ve been following Gina Carano since before she was famous. We&#8217;re the ones that reported her <a href="http://sports.popcrunch.com/gina-carano-may-be-a-lesbian/">sexual preference</a> and we were there when she teased us by <a href="http://sports.popcrunch.com/gina-carano-doesnt-regret-getting-naked/">getting naked</a> in order to make weight for her fight against Kelly Kobold. And of course we were there in August when she got her hot ass beat by Cris “Cyborg” Santos. Ms. Carano just doesn&#8217;t seem to get it. We haven&#8217;t followed her so closely because she&#8217;s a good fighter. The only reason we have wasted countless hours stalking her each and every move is because she&#8217;s hot. It&#8217;s time for her to repay her fans by shedding some clothes and taking some naked pictures.</p>
<p><em>(Thanks to <a href="http://blog.blitznation.com/2009/09/17/10-most-hated-players-in-the-nfl-today/">BlitzNaton</a> for giving us the idea for this sure-to-be hated list.)<br />

Alex Rodriguez will have arthroscopic hip surgery on Monday which will keep him out for 6-9 weeks.
&#8220;Well, it&#8217;s better than him missing the whole year,&#8221; Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.  &#8220;It could have been a lot worse.&#8221;

<p>&#8220;The surgery that will just repair the labrum tear right now would shorten his rehab,&#8221; general manager Brian Cashman said. &#8220;Then, following the conclusion of the season, going in and repair the remaining aspects that need to be repaired.&#8221;</p>

Alex Rodriguez sat down with ESPN&#8217;s Peter Gammons Monday and admitted testing positive for steroids 6 years ago when he was a Texas Ranger.

<p>Alex Rodriguez sat down with ESPN&#8217;s Peter Gammons Monday and admitted testing positive for steroids 6 years ago when he was a Texas Ranger.</p>
<p>&#8220;When I arrived in Texas in 2001, I felt an enormous amount of pressure. I felt like I had all the weight of the world on top of me and I needed to perform, and perform at a high level every day,&#8221; Rodriguez told Gammons. <span id="more-6496"></span></p>
<p>&#8220;Back then, [baseball] was a different culture,&#8221; Rodriguez continued to say. &#8220;It was very loose. I was young. I was stupid. I was naive. And I wanted to prove to everyone that I was worth being one of the greatest players of all time.</p>
<p>&#8220;I did take a banned substance. And for that, I am very sorry and deeply regretful.&#8221;</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll give him some props, atleast he was man enough to admit it but it still ruins his entire legacy.</p>
<p>Even President Barack Obama chimed in on the news.</p>
<p>&#8220;If you&#8217;re a fan of Major League Baseball, I think it tarnishes an entire era, to some degree,&#8221; Obama said. &#8220;And it&#8217;s unfortunate, because I think there were a lot of ballplayers who played it straight.&#8221;</p>
<p>Let us now always refer to Alex Rodriguez as A-Roid.</p>

According to Sports Illustrated Alex Rodriguez tested positive for 2 anabolic steroids during his MVP 2003 season with the Texas Rangers.
As expected Major League Baseball would not confirm or deny the report.
&#8220;We are disturbed by the allegations,&#8221; Executive Vice President of Labor Relations Rob Manfred said in a statement.  &#8220;Because the survey testing that [...]

<p>According to Sports Illustrated Alex Rodriguez tested positive for 2 anabolic steroids during his MVP 2003 season with the Texas Rangers.</p>
<p>As expected Major League Baseball would not confirm or deny the report.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are disturbed by the allegations,&#8221; Executive Vice President of Labor Relations Rob Manfred said in a statement. <span id="more-6474"></span> &#8220;Because the survey testing that took place in 2003 was intended to be non-disciplinary and anonymous, we can not make any comment on the accuracy of this report as it pertains to the player named.&#8221; </p>
<p>Surprisingly, the Rangers weren&#8217;t shocked to hear the news.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think in the climate that we have today, you don&#8217;t have much shock anymore,&#8221; Rangers current senior adviser and former General Manager John Hart said. Hart was the general manager in 2003. &#8220;Obviously Alex probably is the best player in baseball. This has always been a special talent and the guy has been putting up Hall of Fame numbers since the day he showed up in the big leagues. I&#8217;ve been in the game for almost 40 years and it hurts a little bit, if in fact this is true.&#8221; </p>
<p>So does this mean Madonna has a fetish for small testicles? Just asking&#8230;</p>
