15. Johnny Manziel

This isn’t about Johnny Football’s stint in rehab. This is about a prima donna who flashed the “money sign” on draft day and ended up benchwarming in Cleveland. That punishment fits Manziel’s laundry list of crimes in cockiness.

A lot of fans don’t believe Griffin is quite the prima donna Manziel is, but do you realize many of Griffin’s teammates now loathe RG III? At least Johnny Football throws a good party.

Owens tried and tried to get back into the NFL, but teams weren’t willing to put up with the self-imposed circus. Sorry Owens, but you were burnt by your own spotlight.

Monogamy may not be meant for all of us, but you were the one that tied the knot, Tiger. Your career went down the toilet and I doubt it was all just a karmic coincidence.

I can’t begin to understand your background, but I will never stomach your repeated acts of cruelty to dogs. You deserved every day of that prison sentence, Michael Vick and I hope you emerged truly contrite.

Not only did Armstrong lie, but he bullied those around him as if defending an unwavering truth. Armstrong did wonderful things in the fight against cancer, but was truly rotten on a personal level.

Alex Rodriguez is vain, a liar and a cheat. Being exposed may have been the best thing that happened to A-Rod though, that is if he’s truly a victim of circumstance.

For those of you who don’t remember, Carcillo is the hockey player who tore his ACL while trying to hurt another hockey player. That other hockey player was Tom Gilbert of the Edmonton Oilers and it happened way back on Jan. 2, 2012.

Although Richie Incognito’s last name means “hiding in plain sight,” Big Richie did anything but that with the Miami Dolphins. This offensive lineman was just another insecure bully meathead and got what was coming to him in discipline from the Dolphins.

6. Landon Donovan

Donovan thoroughly deserved the 2014 World Cup snub. Not completely due to lack of talent or lack of fit, just the fact that Donovan continually projects a vibe that’s above the team.

Chris Berman used to call the former closer “Ugueth ‘What You Pay For’ Urbina.” Who would’ve thought Boomer was a soothsayer after grisly crimes in Venezuela earned Urbina a sentence of at least 14 years in prison?

Ryan Braun is a filthy piece of human garbage. To ruin the reputation and career of someone working hard to provide for their family is near the pinnacle of despicable human behavior. Just because a diligent drug tester found Braun out didn’t mean the faux-MVP had to act as if we live in a caste society. Braun is just a flat-out loser, may he continue to reap the repercussions of karma.
