The 15 Biggest Turkeys In Sports From The Past Year


Manny Ramirez

Welcome to our annual list of the 15 Biggest Turkeys in Sports.

We have many things to be thankful for in sports from the past year. The following 15 people are not among them.

#15 Texas Rangers

At one point in game six of the World Series, the Texas Rangers had a 96 percent chance of winning their first championship. It didn't happen. How? It wasn't easy.



#14 Don Garber

Don Garber is the commissioner of Major League Soccer, and is on this list for the second consecutive year. That's because Garber still hasn't learned his lesson. Once again, Garber scheduled the MLS Cup Final on a Sunday night in the fall, going head-to-head with the NFL. Even my dog could have predicted that the television ratings would bomb (they did).



#13 Detroit Lions

Ironic that they make this list, as it is their new-found competitiveness that will make the Thanksgiving games among the best in recent memory. But for a team that hasn't had a winning season in more than ten years, they are awfully cocky. They also boast what may be the dirtiest player in the NFL. People should be rooting for the Lions. Instead we loathe them.
